Apr. 11, and Transit History Bike Tour on Sun. Apr. 15 Message-ID: <234837310704051722s1a02029ek6f9bb061553eee27@mail.gmail.com> Hi friends, TONIGHT! At 10:30 p.m. on KUSF-FM, 90.3, part 2 of the Land Grabs Talk. NEXT WEEK, at 8 *p.m.** on Wednesday, April 11*, the somewhat abbreviated Spring Talks calendar begins at CounterPULSE, 1310 Mission at 9th. *First program: When the **Mission** Was Low and Slow* Join a special screening and talk by members of the Mission Archives on April 11, 8 pm, at CounterPULSE. Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s Mission Street was famously the home to a wild scene of lowriders every weekend. Bouncing, shimmying, and gleaming cars full of excited kids and long-time Missionistas would sometimes stretch along Mission from 16th all the way out to Geneva and back again. A unique public space erupted every week for several years in the face of police harassment, created and maintained by the ever resourceful youth of Latino San Francisco. Join original participants, . lmmakers and today's young activists with rarely seen footage, the trailer for a new documentary, "Why We Ride: From Low to Show," shares the stories about the unique culture of the lowrider movement in San Francisco Mission District and the silencing of that culture by the police. We'll also discuss the changing nature of youth culture, street life, public space, and life in San Francisco's Mission District. The event is free, but donations $5-$50 are requested to help both CounterPULSE, the evening's host, and the Mission Archives/Conscious Youth Media Crew, who are providing facilities and video training for local youth. (*www.cymc415.org or *) Three more events to follow, on-line at www.counterpulse.org/springtalks.shtml. Also, on *Sunday, April 15, **12-4 p.m.**,* meet at CounterPULSE, 1310 Mission St. for the *Bicycle History tour* covering the theme of *Transit History*. Bring snacks and water, sun protection, and prepare for any kind of weather! Chris Carlsson will lead the tour? -- All my mail is going through this gmail account now. www.chriscarlsson.com My blog: www.lipmagazine.org/ccarlsson Spring Talks: http://www.counterpulse.org/springtalks.shtml www.shapingsf.org www.processedworld.com www.fullenjoymentbooks.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <234837310704051737i3eb1cc06gedc2469d140a8681@mail.gmail.com> Hi friends, As you know, Shaping San Francisco has been going for almost a decade on a shoestring. I'm writing to ask you to donate to the project for several specific purposes. We are on the cusp of a whole new on-line presence that will include both a new, open wiki version, and a more carefully curated collection that we'll be creating over the next few months. We've launched a fundraising campaign to raise $10,000 and have already acquired $2,000 of that, so we're off to a good start. We maintain our current website as well as two public kiosks at the Main Library and New College. We have our ongoing series of Talks at CounterPULSE two Wednesdays every month, recorded and broadcast on KUSF, 90.3 FM on Thursday nights at 10:30 p.m. And we also take history to the public regularly by way of our ongoing bicycle history tours that are offered 8-10 times a year. We've done a great job of keeping these balls in the air all these years with entirely volunteer labor. That is becoming impossible to sustain. Now I come to you with hat in hand. We are raising money to pay for the radio time (very inexpensive at $25 per show) and to help pay for the extensive editing time it takes to turn our 2+ hour Talks into half-hour radio shows. We are also raising money to pay a programming team to convert our existing content to a new system that will allow us to finally have easy access to updating and fixing and improving our collection on-line. And we hope it will also recapture some of the multimedia magic we created in our original version that sadly was made obsolete by changes in the Windows operating system? Donations to Shaping San Francisco can be made by sending a check made out to "CounterPULSE" and earmarked for Shaping San Francisco to 1310 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94103. Or you can visit the Shaping San Francisco website and donate via our paypal donation button right on the home page. Help us jump up to the next level! Keep Shaping San Francisco thriving and growing for another 10 years! Thank you. If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments, please send them to me.
