1. Improv Everywhere, our kindred spirits in New York, are coming to
Toronto! They are organizing one of their greatest events, MP3 Experiment,
in Riverdale Park on Sunday. We have been to several so we know it's going
to be hilarious and really, really fun.

Basically all you have to do is read the instructions on this site fully,
download the MP3 file and follow the other directions:

********** 2. CAPTURE THE FLAG is back on Saturday, October 11th!

Capture the Flag! Capture the Flag is a massive, adrenaline-pumping, urban
game played on the streets of downtown Toronto. Two teams hide flags in
their territory and attempt to capture the enemy flag using subways,
streetcars, bicycles, longboards or their own two feet. Join us as we dash
through the Financial District, evade the enemy, hide behind Toronto's
skyscrapers, travel through the PATH and score a point.

This year we are buying more glowing necklaces than ever before, and the
bill is pretty hefty - almost $1000. Please help us lighten the load by
donating online - anything helps!

Donations: http://www.newmindspace.com/donate.php

Also help out by volunteering! No need to sign up, just show up at the
volunteer meeting at the Newmindspace Loft before the game at 6:00 PM.

Capture the Flag - King & Bay - 9:00 on Saturday, October 11th 2008.
(This is intentionally on the long weekend and the date will not change.)


*********** 3. SHIRTS and other fun stuff!

People have been asking us for shirts for years, and they will finally be
available soon
:)
We are creating 100 one-of-a-kind t-shirts and dresses
that will be available in person at the Newmindspace loft on Tuesday,
October 7th in the evening. Hours TBA.

They will also be available online and, in the future, by appointment. If
this goes well, we will create more clothes and hopefully fund our events
this way
:)

Dogma

All we want is a headrush.
All we want is to get out of our skin for a while.
We have nothing to lose because we don't have anything. Anything we want anyway...
We used to hate people, now we just make fun of them, it's more effective that way.
We don't live, we just scratch on day to day with nothing but matchbooks and sarcasm in our pockets, and all we are waiting for is for something worth waiting for.
Let's admit America gets the celebrities we deserve.
Let's stop saying "Don't quote me" because if no one quotes you you probably haven't said a thing worth saying.
We need something to kill the pain of all that nothing inside.
We all just want to die a little bit.
We fear that pop-culture is the only culture we're ever going to have.
We want to stop reading magazines, stop watching TV, stop caring about Hollywood, but we're addicted to the things we hate.
We don't run Washington and no one really does.
Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country did to you.
The only reason you're still alive is because someone has decided to let you live.
We owe so much money we're not broke we're broken.
We're so poor we can't even pay attention.
So what do you want?
You want to be famous and rich and happy, but you're terrified you have nothing to offer this world.
Nothing to say and no way to say it, but you can say it in three languages.
You are more than the sum of what you consume.
Desire is not an occupation.
You are alternately thrilled and desperate, skyhigh and fucked.
Let's stop praying for someone to save us and start saving ourselves.
Let's stop this and start over.
Let's go out, let's keep going.
This is your life, this is your fucking life.
We need something to kill the pain of all that nothing inside.
Quit whining you haven't done anything wrong because frankly you haven't done much of anything.
Someone's writing down your mistakes.
Someone's documenting your downfall.
