The Halifax Media Co-op is embarking on an outreach campaign to get the word out about the Co-op, what it does and why it's important. Do you know of an organization that might be interested in supporting the HMC? A coffeeshop that should have a subscription to the Dominion? An event that the Media Co-op could table at? A classroom that might be interested in learning more about independent media? An individual who would be key to talk to? A network that would be useful to tap into? Please help us spread the word! Email hillary@mediacoop.ca with any ideas you might have.
3) Needed: PC laptop
The Dominion/Media Co-op is in search of a PC laptop that is able to run our accounting software (it won't run on macs). Do you have an old PC computer that runs Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7. If so, it would be wonderful if you would consider donating it to the Media Co-op. Please let me know if you can help.
4) Media collective for G8 meetings in Halifax
From April 26-28 G8 international development ministers will be meeting in Halifax. A broad spectrum of groups plan to protest these meetings (from labour to environment, to social justice groups to student groups) and the Halifax Media Co-op will be on the ground covering the demonstrations.
Interested in writing? Recording audio/video? Taking photos?
The first meeting for the G8 media collective will be held on Wednesday March 24 at 7pm at Alter Egos Cafe, 2193 Gottingen. Everyone is welcome. Please email if you're able to come or if you'd like to be involved but are unable to make that meeting.

A few weeks ago we added some forums to the robersts street website, and left a few of them open for anonymous users to contribute to. Well, this week, we got our first spam. It's a milestone, really. I think we should bronze it like baby's first shoes.
Here are the contents of one of those tasty cans of spam:
I bookmarked this guestbook., [url="http://soundcloud.com/vanessa-hudgens-sex-tape"]vanessa hudgens sex tape[/url], [url="http://soundcloud.com/lindsay-lohan-sex-tape"]lindsay lohan sex tape[/url], :((,

1) Dinner and a Movie - Sunday March 7, 6pm – Boys In The Band
This Sunday's movie is the 1970 film version of the Mart Crowley play, Boys In The Band, what your presenters, Gabe and Dan, think of as several firsts: it had several gay characters (previous movies had just one, who almost invariably committed suicide) it had gay guys interacting more or less normally with each other, and it was the first to be *about* a queer topic. The movie was important to both of us in our teen years, illustrating the existence of a diverse queer community.
The movie is about a birthday party, and we'll serve the food featured in the movie -- Caesar salad, lasagne (both meat-y and -less) and birthday cake. Also, we'll serve the unusual drink mentioned in the movie. To quote Emory, "Oh Mary, Don't Ask!"
The movie will be presented at 6:00pm and admission is $8.
As always, space is limited so please RSVP to mailto: semaphorecinema@gmail.com .

The Eyelevel Gallery thanks Roberts Street Social Centre and the Dalhousie University Archives for the partnership and support for these projects.
6) CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS - RANTERS, RAVERS & RACONTEURS
Storytelling is a great talent, one that we are letting slip. This region has a rich background not only of oral history and formal narratives, but also of the kitchen table rant-and-rave. Storytelling at the root is a face-to-face interaction, an aspect of contemporary culture that is being outmoded by lightning fast, stripped down forms of communication. How can we attempt to have a sense of community if we forget how to communicate at the most fundamental levels?
Ranters, Ravers & Raconteurs is seeking work that engages critically with contemporary society, offering a variety of views and media. The work need not be bound by narrative, text or literature because there are many ways to rethink the activity of storytelling. Interpretations and liberties welcomed.
Eyelevel Gallery seeks submissions of new and engaging work for its annual Y-Level emerging artists show. This exhibition is open to students in their final year of undergraduate studies and recent undergraduates (up to one year post-graduation) from the Atlantic Provinces: New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
Submissions must be received by Friday, March 26, 2010 at 5pm. Email or fax submissions will not be considered. Please include the following:
>a project description outlining the concept, scale and media
of proposed work (250 words max)
>CV, with current contact info
>artist statement (250 words max)
>10 digital images (jpgs- low res) or applicable multimedia on CD or DVD
>self-addressed stamped envelope, if you want material returned
Submissions must be mailed or dropped off to:
Y-Level Show
c/o Eyelevel Gallery
2063 Gottingen St.
Halifax, NS

6) Popular Education Series - Ted Rutland - "The Politics of Maps", Wednesday February 11, 7 pm
Maps, as we know them, were developed to help imperial powers like Rome and Britain understand and control distant territories; they have been inseparable from the exercise of political power ever since. This talk explores the connections between power and geographical knowledge by looking closely at three maps of Halifax, produced at different periods between the city's founding and the present.

Thirdspace is an anti-racist feminist zine that is produced through the Women's Publication Network.
This year's topic for Thirdspace is Re-Imagining the Future. We strongly believe that the future cannot be defined through a single vision. It is through multiple visions, always overlapping and contradictory, that the future ca become tangible. Therefore, YOUR submissions will shape this year's zine production.
We encourage you to send in your thoughts on how you re-imagine the future. All forms of expressions are welcome; rants, poetry, photography, recipes, artwork, quotes, creative writing, non-fiction writing, etc. Some ideas for submissions can be experiences of activism, accounts of change (big or small; individual or local), linking past to future, inspirations for action...whatever you want the future to look like!
The call for submissions poster is attached if you wish to post or distribute a copy within your network. Submissions are to be sent to: thirdspace.zine@gmail.com or to Box 3035, University of Victoria, Lekwungen Territory, Victoria BC, V8W 3P3.
Once the zine has been produced, we will make sure to send you some copies for your library.
Cheers,
