<div class="plainMail">Hey all,<br>
<br>
Some of us in Occupy CU are tempted to go out
carol-singing, for fun - maybe a mix of traditional
holiday songs and peace-and-social-justice songs - and
to see if it gives us a chance to talk with people.<br>
<br>
We'd probably choose songs that are familiar enough
that most of us will know the tune, and we can print
lyric sheets.<br>
<br>
We haven't picked specific dates yet. Would try to
pick an evening or two, over the next week or so (say
between 12/16 and 12/22), that are good for as many of
those interested as possible. I'm thinking we might
go from 7:30-9, or some such time - late enough to not
interrupt many people at dinner but early enough that
they won't mind seeing people at the door. Could
gather a little earlier (6:30? 7?) to try to practice
and get ourselves organized.<br>
<br>
If interested, please write back to me, and say which
nights are or aren't good, if you think there are
songs we should include, etc...<br>
