Media Team Minutes 2011-11-24

 

We got interrupted by the little frenzy that went down when the LAPD posted the park hours sign (5am-10:30pm). Has there been confirmation yet if that was the official 72 hours notice? I spoke with and have video of a Lt. who couldn't confirm if that was the case, only that they are NOT raiding us tonight, but he couldn't say that it wouldn't happen tomorrow.

We have already started moving equipment out of the tent tonight and they are safe at Greg's house in Sherman Oaks. We are still finishing up the rest of the move tomorrow morning at 10am. Yvonne is leading this effort (thank you!).

We now have a Media team text group, I'm pretty sure this is the number to text to get on it, I'm still waiting for confirmation but someone try it out and let me know:

Text JOIN to xxx.xxx.xxxx, let me know if it doesn't send back confirmation immediately

Let's PLEASE only use this for emergencies!

Also, we need to vote on our emergency meeting place:

1. Pho restaurant at 2nd and Hill- They are open 24 hours

2. piXel Frequency space at 931 E. Pico Blvd. #202- This is the live/work gallery space that I emailed about before. Paul Shepherd, copied here, has generously offered to let us regroup here after the raid. His number is xxx.xxx.xxxx(withdrawn from media), if we vote to use this space to regroup, please call/text him first to let him know we're coming.

Also, does anyone have John's contact info? (Tall blondish guy who's been doing an awesome job running the front desk with Pam) Just want to make sure he's looped in and will be able to connect with Greg and Yoshi to hammer out org. stuff.

I'm being paranoid and have deleted some people off the Google Group. Please confirm if you know these people and they should be put back on the list- hyperlogan@msn.com, jmichael9@gmail.com. Taharah and John, I've sent you invites previously but they haven't been accepted.
