[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: Where Were You In '89? - ORGANIZE YOUR OWN "WHERE WERE YOU IN '89?" BLOCK PARTY

[pnaomi at gmail.com]

The city of SF is sponsoring grants to hold block parties all over SF  
for the mere investment of the time to apply for one.

This could be a good opportunity to keep the fundraising and outreach  
ball rolling by lining up a block party in time to tell ppl about it  
when they come to
The Cellspace party.

Or, not. Just thought it'd be smart to pass this info along.

Pirate Cat has just secured a block party permit for (iirc) the  
weekend around Oct 17th, using the street on 21st between Bryant and  
Harrison.
