Where we can meet in 07 Those all look like fun events.I am sorry I missed the CIAA tourney because that's local to me.I think the white ladies in my area if they were signed up to this board would have had a field day! May I ask, are there any white women in the MidAtlantic area(NC,Va)who are into electronic music?I ask, because Signal fest is having it's second annual event of multiple electronic shows that will be all around Chapel Hill, NC,(UNC) and Carrborro.This is an ever growing event taking place the weekend of April 27-29, 2007.The cost for admission to all the shows is 30.00, I bought a pass, and any lady who would answer and like to meet-I am a gentleman,of course, would not have to pay,I'd just like the company if the possibility existed. Thanks for your time. http://www.signalfest.com/newsite/

The Black Film festival sounds kinda must-see too...
Question: Might there not be any way that WE at WWBM could one day stage OUR OWN get together affair where ALL kindred spirits here can meet? Kinda like how INTERRACE Magazine stages sea cruises & such? Just a THOUGHT....That's what EIENSTEIN said.... 8) OpinionsCartoonStudios@yahoo.co.uk
WHERE WE CAN ALL MEET IN 2007 I think that's a fantastically brilliant idea.I used to subscribe to Interrace Magazine waaaay back in 1994.I think I got one response, LOL.Back then, the internet wasn't as popular though.Are they still going? It would be nice to possibly renew a subscription with them. Anyway, I think your idea is great. How would we go about organizing something like that? Perhaps deciding on a central place where people could meet?I would be willing to do it regionally, for the MidAtlantic area. Are there many white females from Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, DC? Black men from the same area? Just an idea.
Hey MRPaPaRaZZi: What about a cookout in NYC? I would like to have one this summer during or before the end of the summer? Why not? I would like to meet all the members in person.
