Date: January 2nd 2009

Location: the House

Good evening everyone and welcome to the first live blogging of our Annual retreat. I have been thinking of doing this for a while now and it is happening now and here is how it will take place. The 2 days biannual retreat is taking place, starting on Saturday the third of January 2009. On Friday (which is today) we are having a preretreat where we talk about feminist thingies in Meem. I will be putting updates quite often as discussion takes place, for reasons of personal security the girls will be presented according to their nicknames, we will be compiling the outcome later on (once the retreat is over).

And remember that this retreat gathers the most active (because they came 24h after new year’s eve, come on give them some credit for that) and most influential (because they are deciding about Lebanon’s Queer future)members of Meem. So there will be a lot of things that will sound unusual or too far fetched but… well that’s how we like it.

So shall we start?

Hello everybody;
as it was mentioned on our meem calendar

we are having a Photoshop workshop this Wednesday 20 of august starting at 6:30 sharp.


Please be there on time because i will be giving an introduction of how you can use Photoshop and if you were late you will miss a lot of things and consistency is important so you can understand what is happening.

I hope you all are as excited as I am, we are going to have a lot of fun, Photoshop is a very fun program. If you want bring some photos of you that we can edit them and fix them and if you have any questions already that you would like me to answer, please email them to me no matter how silly they were, so i can cover them as well in the workshop

Best regards,
Im l Meem

Saturday the 16th at 4.p.m.
Workshop

Hello all
It was stated in the meem calendar that we will have a workshop about film as a tool for actisvism ? However that subject being too vast for a two hours workshop, I decided to give a workshop about the image of lesbians in the history of film starting 1910?

At the end of the workshop, those who are interested in a technical one, as in introduction to camera use and history of film technics and such , can put down their names so we can put together a workshop for Activist Development and give you the tools necessary to proceed .

Hope to see you tomorrow
