I still like it .I just happened to do a scout last night and came this other one. But it is different as its a collaberation of artists selling cardboard art for charity......

whatever it happens to be called, I remembered last night about a mature student on my degree who's a freelance design journo, she writes articles for design week, creative review and also time out. So maybe I could get her to write a piece about this, or at very least have a little bit in time out somewhere.

i was just wondering how we'd go about getting a time out listing. that's awesome, baskerville!

I'll email her when it's more concrete and see what she says.

"At refuge, we won't ignore you"
bwahaha, el, you should just get the UK to sponsor you to help these people's writing skills...

i think the uk should just sponsor me to hang out around town and tell everyone what i think.
i should be like one of the town criers. i'd even be amenable to discussions about a uniform of some description.

Refuge is definately a women and children's shelter.

it's about mental shelter too.
i do think it's a wonderful charity for us to be raising funds for.
what is it that we're unsure about?
I think Gimme Shelter is still a good name. Yes it's been used before but if it sounds familiar then i don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Let's not have a crisis of confidence!
But yes now is the time to do some research and check that we don't make any obvious errors so good call snuggles.

Ok, so had a quick idea that I wanted to do in my lunch break that I thought I would share. I don't want to stamp on anyones toes so tell me to fuck off and I'll get back to my side of the room.
Commentst all good and bad welcome.
I have left room at the bottom for .org.uk
The idea was, to work as a kinda tab...
*tentatively clciks Broadcast

I dig it dancer, and just so we all know, all ideas are welcome, nobody's toes are being stepped on...
One thing we need to keep in mind is that Refuge is a network of safe houses that provide emergency accommodation for women and children when they are most in need...
So in my opinion we should stay away from the typical vagrant/bum notions of the homeless and in terms of tone of voice, we should probably be a bit more sensitive...
Just my thoughts in general...but let's keep any concepts coming!!
