Yuri's Night thanks! + Laser graffiti + more!

Yuri's Night was amazing! Thank you all for helping us create a
celebration worthy of space!

1. Photos by Air`leth Aodhfin can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/66djyj

2. Please take a moment to respond to the following online poll:

"Do you think Yuri's Night will make young adults more likely to visit the
Ontario Science Centre during the year?"

Poll at http://www.yurisnight.ca/

3. We would once again like to thank the Ontario Science Centre for
allowing us to host Yuri's Night at this legendary venue! If you have any
messages of gratitude for the Science Centre, feel free to send them to
us, and we will make sure they get to the right people.

4. How can you help Canada's space program? Write your MP, and ask them
why Canada doesn't have a bigger role in space!

One goal of ours is to get people in our generation (Gen Y, born 1977 -
2000) to take an active interest in space exploration, but clearly the
people in charge (The CSA) don't know how to engage with young people just
yet. Let's help them out by telling them how to get us more interested in
space!

And also check out the Canadian Space Society ( http://www.css.ca )
Canada's largest space advocacy group.

5. If you are worried about the measles cases linked to the OSC, don't be!
The period of exposure ended well before Yuri's Night. We're covered
:)


6. Looking forward to next year's!


*** Upcoming Events Update ***

If you check out http://www.newmindspace.com - you will see some new
stuff, but that is not quite the whole picture yet! Here are the things to
be most aware of for now:

+ May 31 - Pillow fight! +
*all ages*
fundraiser afterparty

Feathers will once again fly, but this time we are making it on a Saturday
night so everybody can make it
:)
We are thinking of introducing a costume
theme this year - your suggestions are welcome!

After the pillow fight we will head to a beautiful, historic loft where we
have been granted the opportunity to hold a fundraiser. We will be raising
money to pay for another lightsaber battle, and a new kind of event: laser
graffiti!

+ Summer 2008 - Laser graffiti!

We will obtain a powerful projector and write on a landmark building using
a bright, green laser. This will be our second Graffiti Research
Lab-inspired event; you can see what it looks like at their site:

Perhaps we will make this coincide with the full moon
:)


+ Renegade Street Parade

The weather is warming up and the streets are cleared of snow! We will be
having another street parade like Castles in the Sky! If you have anything
you can or want to contribute (parade floats, flatbed trucks, mobile sound
systems, etc.) we'd love to hear from you
:)



*** Matthew Dear + Future Sound tonight @ RANDOMLAND ***

After being named best new club in the WORLD of 2007, CiRCA continues to
make us glad to have it in Toronto
:)
If you want to rock out at
RANDOMLAND for cheap tonight, hit up http://www.newmindspace.com/random
before 6!


*** Coming soon: Newsoundspace ***

As we announced at Yuri's Night, we will be hosting many more dance
music-oriented parties in order to raise money for our monthly, free,
outdoor events
:)
Yuri's Night was really the first one of these, and many
more are still to come. If there are any DJ's or musicians that would
bring a large crowd at these parties, let us know
:)
We know plenty of
DJ's - we just want to know who YOU want to see!

http://www.newsoundspace.com coming soon - for now, join the Facebook
group at http://facebook.com/group.php?gid=10105807650

Spring is in the air
