[Boston-print] RE: [IMC-Boston-Discuss] Hoy! Indymedia Boston is going to be in Printin August!

[dave smith]

Pete, we could probably set up a template pretty easily with photoshop or a 
more appropo program at the office.  Also two more thingw we should cover in 
local are Coalition For a Better Acre is planning a summer action blitz in 
Lowell that they intend to have culminate in a people's housing summit in 
september.  Also, is this for the July issue?  we should also have something 
about that bill to block the lab going through congress, maybe.

I can start wring some of these up on monday, just let me know which ones 
you want me to do.

David
