Shake my tree at meeting three!

Shake our tree at meeting number three. We would like you to join us for an evening of alternative social fun - otherwise known as drawing. Transport your bodies to Kårhuset, haul them up the stairs and then enjoy some fine company and a magnificent array of art materials. Although the theme is trees feel free to draw anything you like. Even if you haven't drawn so much as a stick man in the last ten years, come along, have a chat and see if you fancy giving it a go. A sheet of blank paper is much scarier when faced alone!

If you already scribble (or perhaps do something a little more artisitcally serious) feel free to join us with your own materials aswell. The more the merrier!

Any tree themed parfenalia is also very welcome :)

We'll provide some tea, coffee and saft, but feel free to bring along your own refreshments (sorry! You can't take drinks from Kåren pub upstairs, but you can bring your own alcohol). If you have a favourite cup, bring that along too!

Wednesday 7th October
1900-2130

	The upstairs room at Kåren
	Gustavsborgsgatan 6

Entry costs 20sek.

The snowball effect.

I know we are only in the first days of autumn, but it seemed the most appropriate title. In the past week I have recieved word that Västerås stads kultur-, idrotts och fritidsnämnd are to give us a bidrag of 5000sek bumping or budget up to an incredible 8000! Who knew that the people in suits would have so much faith in these sorts of ideas! I have to say a big 'thank you' to Tobias for all of his help. Without him the ansökan would not have been quite so eloquent!

I also owe thanks to 'president' Hubert of IC MDH, not only for his monetary contribution but also for providing VSS with a new central location!

As of next month (October) Västerås Scribbling Society will be meeting on the first Wednesday of the month in the upstairs room of Kåren. Meetings will be held from 7-10pm. Entry costs 20sek for which you get unlimited use of our materials and access to tea and coffee making devices. Your contribution will enable us to maintain materials and continue meeting indeffinately. Feel free to bring along your own art materials, cups, drinks and snacks. Please note; you can not bring alcohol bought at the Kåren pub upstairs.
Look out for posters and more blogs for further info (as I make it up!)

Keep it real!

Drawing Conclusions From Introductions aka "An Informal Jam Session"

Well folks, seeing as we now seem to be back into the swing of things (though I guess some of you never left) it is time to hold another Scribbling Society meeting.

The theme for this meeting will be introductions.

Most of us have only met a couple of times, some of us have never met before, and seeing as we're hoping to be friends it would be nice to use this early opportunity to get to know you all. I know we can all be a little shy about telling the world who we are... especially the Swedes among us... so lets use the occasion to draw a little of ourselves instead. Now please don't be selfconscious, and none of those "I can't draw" excuses. A stick man with a flower and some scribbled clouds is more valuable than a masterwork because it shows someone took time out of their day to do something they wouldn't normally. Go on, push your boundaries and do something different! It could be fun :D

Please bring along a cd, a book, an instrument, a picture, someone you love, anything that helps tell us who you are. Bring along lots of things if you like. I'll provide the pens and paper, tea and coffee, and if your lucky, homebaked cookies (no promises there!). You just have to get yourselves to Lövhagsgatan 83, Västerås, between 2 and 6 in the afternoon on Saturday the 26th September and donate 20 of your paper kroner to the cause (children scribble for free.)

Comments, questions, suggestions? All very welcome aswell.

Hi-jacking Hi-king

For anyone interested, I shall be hi-jacking the MDH hiking club rookie hike on Bjornö this Saturday. There will be pens and paper apleanty (I hope) and this meeting will be cost free as we'll call it something like... advertising.

Information on the next GENUINE meeting to follow soon.

Vi fick pengar.

I over slept this morning and missed my Swedish lecture... but every cloud has a sliver lining. The phone woke me an hour later and I was promptly grilled in Swedish about myself and the Scribbling Society. Not only did I get my conversational Swedish practice (while half asleep) we have also been awarded 2500sek by Landstinget Västmanland.

Time to plan in earnest.
