******** TOUR

interest keeps percolating in. listserv talk going, forum threads, having meetings. greasecar? stipend someone as a driver to deal with vehicle (possible mechanic). gas very expensive west coast touring. gas almost $4/gal in CA! portland icarus activist meet - very generous. portland very interested in helping. first wknd oct -- invited to herbal conf in providence RI. sun next conf call. idea - routing - making providence kickoff for east coast

2 tours -- down east coast to south to midwest
west coast -- west southwest back up west coast.

logistics -- 2 touring bodies, vehicles, people on ground.

last call -- eddy, jenny. mads couldn't find jenny in la. delivered schwag to portland. very cool being in portland. policy wonks contacting portland icarus.

we need to make definitive decisions. by end of june, thru july we will confirm venues and routing with workgroup. next mo 1/2 tour workload will double, get logistics together in cities. putting together times to do this.

requesting backup and getting ready to help delegate

request that anyone involved make a mad map.

ashley - folks from england?
    greasecar
    what events are going to look like

greasecar= putting out feelers to who's interested. still research thing. dif communties that do that. need to delegate researchers. greasecar.com, vans that have done it, sponsors

skillshare, movie clips, presentation, culture jamming, performances, community discussion.

stipending people, paying people? expenses?

ashley - thru selling books and things on tour, donations, we can cover costs of people on tour -- getting from city to city, food stuff. if people from eng want to come they need to pay their airtickets.

ashley - really wants to go on tour, but lately makes hard to commit. wants to go on significant chunk of it.

sascha - wants to be backup, there for parts of it. more focus is. opportunity to strengthen network, contact database. history with touring. incredible amount of work. need solid presentations.

mads - on ground in some parts of tour in oct. depends on routing. prepared to spend part of oct on ground in tour.

people won't have to pay to be on tour -- tour will do lodging, food. becomes organizational thing

would icarus pick up slack if schwag doesn't raise enough $ to cover people's food etc?

sasch- willing to raise $ for tour expenses thru personal connections

who are we talking about being on tour?

mel, eliza = experienced travelers, bring own food, take care of selves, responsible. ash feels good about having them on tour.

whoever is on tour needs beforehand, before travelling -> structured time to hang out, work with each other, work on each others mad maps. also practice presentations.

example: east coast tour start meet in germantown, practice presentations for community, leave to providence. west coast meet in sf or port, practice presentations. also do mad maps, facilitating, then kickoff real tour.

seven starting school in fall, not sure about traveling

fh michael interested

core group -- ash + will plus england people, doing most of events together, ok to bring someone like michael, pick up christing in MN, pick up leah in DC core group, then people less sure about or people who have less time

have two tours but not at same time. east coast earlier, west coast later. will on both, fly to west coast.

question is about person Jane - invite england folks to sun conf call. ashley will get in touch with them

need to figure out how long -

movie factor -- projector, show clips? not gobble up all time with films

people from foreign countries -- have to have US contact to go to if they're not doing well, a sanctuary for them to chill out, as part of mad map.

mel- touring - going out to wild places and camping ! yes!
