participate! Bet others will too.<br><br>(I have a sign -
especially appropriate now: While You're Shopping / Bombs are
Dropping.)<br><br>Is next Monday's meeting a good time to discuss
this? Since you're newly on the list, here's where it'll
be:<br><br> 7PM Monday 11/19<br> U-C
Independent Media Center, 202 S. Broadway, downtown

yes, this list and the <span id="misspell-5" class="mark">Facebook</span> page you mention came from the same group, and
will include many of the same people. But not everybody will be on
both, so if there are plans for something, it's good to post them in both
