FC.o groups begin to get off the ground

September 16th, 2004 by Nelson Pavlosky

We’re beginning to see some activity at the new campus groups that we’ve started this fall. The Swarthmore College Phoenix interviewed Desirina at Emory and Rebekah at Bryn Mawr, as well as my illustrious self, about how they got interested in free culture and their plans for their new groups (Free culture movement hits campuses across the U.S.). You can see a few pictures from the third Free Culture Swarthmore meeting of the year below (yes, we were stupid and didn’t bring a working camera to the first two significantly larger meetings).

Nelson gets all the girls
I wonder why all the girls gravitate towards me?

free culture makes you thirsty
Marie needed some water to survive this overly long meeting. Our first meeting took about 2 hours, this one took only 1 hour 20 minutes, a 30% improvement! At this rate, we won’t even need to have meetings in a few weeks :-) Our apologies, we will try to keep future meetings under an hour.

Why the big stick? To beat the RIAA with
Jeff carries a 2X4 to all of our meetings, just in case an RIAA representative shows up.

Volunteers to help keep our culture free
Andrew and Nathan raise their hands, volunteering for another perilous mission!

I call this meeting to order... or else
This large stick is much more effective at getting attention than a gavel would be.

Nathan, Alex and Benn sit in rapt attention
I must have said something terribly interesting, look at how attentive they are!

Nelson has sniffed one too many markers
Writing on the whiteboard makes me look stoned, for some reason.

That’s all for now, we hope to have pictures from other FC.o groups in the near future on this blog!
