I can not come sorry, I already have plans on Saturday night that I have had since the beginning of November. Good luck with the meeting! Be sure to update us who could not come on the forum on what was discussed at the meeting.

Alrighty mates! So a few of us met last night to discuss the future of pirates. Due to different circumstances, such as missing one's train, PirateDanArr, PirateBen, PirateMike, and PiratePhoebe were unable to attend. Instead, CaptainLaura, FirstMateDan, SquashbucklerEric, and PirateGigi met. We talked about what we feel we should do after the election, now that fighting to remove Bush really wouldn't accomplish anything. We came up with a few ideas, but in the end we decided that we would want to keep Pirates around, verge into other things as well (by this I mean use the group as a jumping off point for other actions and plans), and maybe open up the email list so that multiple people can send messages on it. On my train ride home I had the idea that we should work on bringing likeminded people together every so often to have dicussions and maybe movie nights. PirateDanArr had previously suggested moving away from banner drops and protests as our main activities, and we agreed with him. That is about all I can think of for now, but please post corrections or your thoughts on the issue.

I propose a general pirate meeting take place on Sunday January 2nd, sometime midday, such as 3 pm. We should gather to discuss future actions, maybe have a discussion on some topic in general (such as women's rights or capitalism). I also propose we do so in the presence of food. Please respond if you can't make it then or if that would be good for you, plus of course anything else you want to add.

this date was only a suggestion, since I would like to have a meeting soon but I think this upcoming weekend would be too short notice (plus Eric will be away) but we can always change the date or have multiple meetings. does anybody have a suggestion for another day?

...oops. For some reason when I read "Sunday, January 2nd" I thought you meant "Monday, December 27th" so I can maybe come after all. Love, Phoebe

Tentative plan for Pirate Meeting on Sunday January 23rd, because many people can't make it tomorrow.
We'll be meeting on the corner of Newbury St. and Dartmouth St. then me traveling to Laura's house. Bring friends (and food, please).
We'll be discussing the future of PAB, post-Bush's inaguration (maybe a how-to-do-a-banner-zine?) as well as just having a general discussion about topics that interest us (perhaps we can host monthly discussions?). Hope to see you all there!

DUE TO THE HUGE SNOWSTORM HEADED OUR WAY TONIGHT...
We may opt to have the Pirate meeting online, creating our own chatroom so that people wouldn't have to worry about traveling in the bad weather. I heard one report that we may get two feet of snow. What do people think of this plan?

too bad about the storm, but i suppose a chat room is better than nothing. this will also make it accessible to our out of state/country fellow pirates. will the time stay the same or get changed?
