hello all, decorating has been postponed until tomorrow evening (thursday). I'll send a text around as well to make sure people get the message. any problems just let me know.

if you all get to my house by around 6.30/7pm that would be great. cheers!

Hello guys!! I'm sorry i'm late in getting involved with the blog!! I am an absoloute special case when it comes to computers but i've overcome it!! woop!! I was just sunning myself infront of my house and this lady came round with a newsletter type thing full of information, events and general crack about the hyde park area. I immediately bombarded the poor woman and told her all about the amazing gallery we are in the process of creating!! I told her it was a really good space and we had lots of interest from potential exhibitors with a massive range of techniques and interests!! I also told her we are really interested in what role it might have in the hyde park community and that it wasn't necessarily a student thing- i told her we wanted it to be an exciting feature of the area for EVERYONE to enjoy and benefit from! She seemed REALLY excited about the idea and really pleased that something positive like this was being done!! She was proper nice and interesting and said that we could write up a piece for the newsletter and she would do what she could to promote it and make it known!!! yeah!!!!!!!!! I've got a copy of the newsletter so we can see the format - it's not particularly colourful or eyecatching but its been running for a while and both students and families living in the area get it!! could be tres useful!! anyways - see you on wednesday for operation - 'make the basement good'!! lots of love xx

If everyone still wants to come over tomorrow thats cool with me and my house, but im afraid the decorating idea may well be off.. ive broken my hand after punching a wall! thats what i get for going on an otley run!

if people want to come over around 8pm, we can have some beer, wine or just tea (for the more sensible members of the group) and talk about where we go from here. if tasha, annie and nico could bring the notes they made last week along with them that'd be much appreciated - just so my housemates are up to date with the ideas we came up with last time.

if there are any problems just reply to this message or text/call me. my number is 07960268281 - think everyone bar tasha has got it.

see you all tomorrow hopefully. x

I took my time

hellllooooooooooo....... It took me about three days to sign up for this blog because of my computer retardedness but I worked it out in the end. hope all is still on for the meeting? I typed basement into a thesaurus to see what it came up with for words, base, basement, basis, bed, bedrock, belly, deep, depths, floor, foot, footing, ground, groundwork, nadir, nether portion, pedestal, pediment, rest, seat, sole, substratum, substructure, support, terra firma, underbelly, underneath, underside, thought it might be a way of randomly finding a name :D, I quite like the underbelly but thats just because it reminds me of a big purple cow in edinburgh...

Nice one tasha!
I was inspired and excited by yesterdays meeting, looking forward to seeing what evolves...
Probably see yous on wednesday

thanks for this tasha! don't worry about the name - once we've come up with one of our own we can stop plagiarising the bunker..

i'll try to get in touch with them and see what they've got to say about all this, and hopefully i'll have something to report back with before next week.

i've spoken to my housemates and they seemed fine about it and were impressed with the ideas we'd come up with.. (or at least the ones i could remember)

Links to other projects

Here are some links to two of the projects we talked about earlier - thought they might be interesting:

Glue Gallery in Newcastle

Apartment, Manchester (I'm jealous of their pretty blog, I might have to make this one snazzier).

Today's meeting

Here's the blog as promised! Sorry the name's a bit shit; just got home from and my brain's not functioning all that fantastically. It should be fairly straightforward to use - just post a comment or let me know if there's a problem and I'll change some of the settings. It should be straightforward to post images and links on here too - you just do it the same way as you do on myspace.

Anyway, just wanted to say I thought today's meeting went really well - I'm really excited about it!

If you like I can post up some basic notes of what we discussed and decided just as a reminder to all of us? Let me know with reply comments what you think and I'll post something here.

xx
