[Imc-members] Fw: Invite the Bees to your community - Spring Tour 2012

[Ed Hawkes]

The Beehive Collective has been to the IMC at least three times over the years. They usually provide an interesting presentation and if the presentation is organized with other local groups such as the Sierra Club then it helps it to be more successful. I'm forwarding this to let people know and see if anybody is interested in organizing a presentation at the IMC.

Hello,

Tyler Bee here... I just got back to Beehive home base in Machias, Maine after a three month voyage all around India!  We got to share Beehive graphics, meet up with many friends old and new, and had quite the adventure.  If you are interested, you can read a little about it HERE.

I am gradually getting settled back in here in the states, but Im already looking forward to our next Spring Tour.  This is a very exciting opportunity to continue building on all the cumulative cultural change we have been inciting with The True Cost of Coal, continuing to strengthen and recruit for growing anti-extraction movements, AND we are very excited to share new stories of inspiring struggles against corporate colonization in Mesoamerica Resiste!  

With this tour I hope to craft a special presentation that looks at stories in both of these graphics to help folks understand the complicated forces at work in our home regions and all over the world, with a specific focus on mining in the Great Lakes region.  As always, shows concentrated on deep analysis of specific graphics and custom-tailored hands-on workshops are available too - if you have been waiting and waiting for a full tour of the new graphic or your community could really use some popular education or collaborative graphic-making training, we would be happy to provide it!

Im writing you for one of two reasons:

1.  You recently signed up to host a beehive presentation in your community.

2.  You are a past host who I would love to visit again!

I am trying to get better at planning our tours well in advance.  It makes scheduling and promotion easier for everyone, and at colleges, it makes it
possible for us to get significant honorariums - for every large honorarium we receive, it makes it possible for us to do more public school and community shows for free.  Planning ahead makes our tour better for everyone!

So for my Spring Tour 2013, Im hoping to schedule a good mix of college / public school / community shows around the Great Lakes, sometimes going to places weve never been before, and sometimes returning to places where we
have already built up a lot of good relationships.

Heres the plan:

I (and some other as-yet undecided Bees) will be on the road late February to early May, travelling through Ontario, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York (and we can be tempted to visit other states too if a good opportunity presents itself!)

Are you still interested in bringing us to your community/school for a presentation or workshop?

If yes, please let me know!  AND it would be super-helpful if you could take a quick minute to fill out this easy REQUEST FORM:

Lets start planning NOW so that together we can make this upcoming tour truly great!

With Honey,
- tyler bee..
