Event Review – We had the Red State conference on Saturday! Our workshop seems to have gone well, with Jackson only thinking of one thing afterwards that we should’ve covered but didn’t. (He added to our outline in case we ever do this presentation again.) Our table was also popular at the lunch hour; we had several books checked out from our mobile library, as well as many zines and calendars taken. Ty reports that we were officially extended an offer to table next year at Omaha Zine Fest. We would be interested in sponsoring a second Red State if our partner organizations decide to bring it back next year.

Distro Update – Ty has not yet gotten to The Black Market or the spots in the Haymarket. We’re not sure if Wyatt got to the spots on Near-South spots.

September Events – We spent meeting time to work on getting our September events online.

Meeting adjourned: 8:15 PM

1. New Book from AK Press – We got a package with a new book about a Mexican anarchist called I Am Action.

2. Calendar Distro – Jackson picked up the fall calendars from the printer. He’ll be reimbursed $10.73 for getting them printed. We’re going to get ’em up around town soon!

3. Red State – Jackson reports that he distributed the $200 we allocated from our treasury to the ones responsible for catering the conference; in short, we’re helping to pay for the meal. We spent most of the rest of the meeting discussing our tabling and our workshop at the conference.

1. Event Review – Popcorn Politics: Shin Godzilla happened last Friday. It went pretty good! There were definitely some things we disagreed with as far as the political takes of the movie, but hey, we show these for the discussion, not because we agree with them all the time!

2. Book Donation – Jackson accidentally bought a second copy of “A Hundred Little Hitlers” for his own library, a book about the rise of neo-Nazism in America. His loss is the library’s gain! He’d like to donate it, and it seems to be a good fit for our antifascist collection, so the donation is accepted.

3. AK Press Purchase – We made a list of books to consider for our upcoming AK Press purchase, but we need to table this so we have time to finish the fall calendar.

4. Fall Calendar – We finalized the fall calendar! We basically just needed dates for the events, which we worked on getting tonight. Ty will whip those up, send them to print, and Jackson will pick them up this week.
