January 31, 2011
We had a small FNB meeting this month, with Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday represented. Ellen made really wonderful cupcakes and Alex brought delicious soup!
Notes:
- Report back from East Bay Food Not Bombs FNB principles meeting. It’s proposed that we should hold a Bay Area wide food not bombs picnic this summer!
- General banter about servings, what works, what doesn’t, etc
- Desire to find ways to use excess collected food and better move things around (enthusiastic volunteers welcome to move things)! Folks thought it’d be easier to find people to host servings if we can offer help with food collection.
- Tree picked up a bike cart from a donor for FNB! It’s now at Station 40.
- Sit/Lie – cops are out in force, in civic center, bart, 16th and mission. Bothering homeless and poor folks. A serving / protest in the city’s new parklets? sit/lie action in February. Questions about how they going to enforce sit/lie (enforcement starts tomorrow). Fliers or sidewalk chalking with politician lies? Discuss among groups then bring ideas to the list.
- We have two or three possible cook houses! To get these servings off the ground we need people who are interested in coordinating / bottom-lining
- Email list. Who is still in the moderator / admin spot? Something to look into.
- Let’s make a LED sign! Dana is getting stuff together to do this and we will build it in the next two months. People are excited, time to solder! More screen printing?!?! We can make many designs, patches and shirts, have a combined screen printing LED sign making party — perhaps at Ellens studio.

From Theo: We've been working on putting together an SF meeting for FNB on sunday Oct. 18th starting at 3:30p, Station 40 (3030b 16th St). I've been hearing alot of good ideas from alot of people and we're interested in hearing more. Some but not all of the ideas/needs I've heard include; Banners Bulk orders of food oil, spices, coffee, etc Bike Carts/Hand Carts Bulk rice and Beans Distro Organizing a network of people down to support actions FNB Merch, like zines, Shirts, and collectable fine china Cup distro Financial Transparency Getting more Markets on our side. 5013c Status j/k I feel like we got to work on making our Food Not Bombs communal, and economically/environmentally sustainable.+ I heard the angry fist will drop the carrot and slap your face if you don't show up, not really don't worry though it might send curry packs to your front door. Send stuff to the list or to me if you have ideas for the meeting, and stay in touch!
summer meeting attendance was much lower than what we expected. what we talked about these things in no particular order:
- we will spend the entirety of the FNB treasury on lasers
- coordinated about rainbow pick-ups
- new saturday serving, possibly a sunday serving
- possible serving at the anarchist olympics
- need to brainstorm ideas for getting cups, spoons, etc
- we condensed to make cannibalism an exception to FNB’s veganism (only if they are right-wingers/fascists?)
After a hiatus of several months San Francisco Food Not Bombs is having a meeting! Join us and talk about recent events, current ideas and future opportunities for sharing food. Bring your thoughts, ideas, proposals — we will pass around an agenda sheet at the event.
Meeting Details:
Sunday, August 2
1:00pm
Meet outside Station 40 (3030b 16th street @ mission), if it’s nice we’ll walk to the park, if not we’ll have it there!

Meeting notes: 4/26/09 6-9pm
General sentiment: where was everybody? this was the smallest and most ‘intimate’ meeting we’ve ever had. we had Vietnamese spring rolls, delicious treats from the Free Farm Stand and oven fried veggies.
In attendance: Wind, Maggie, Dana, Jeremy, Jessica, Johanna, Jack, Alex. (lots of people with J names?)
Announcements: if you want to post to the web site, you should know the login by now 🙂 if not email dana at the coocoup dot com. Tweet, blog, videoblog, photoblog, blah blah blah FNB to your hearts content.
Deep Fried Not Bombs: DFNB was awesome, a lot of fun, 100 people served? made ~$60 in donations? turkey fryer did not go up in flames, and even withstood the san francisco winds.
Timeliness: Is it important to be on time? Sentiment is we try to be on time, but there are always challenges, especially with transportation, etc. As is, sometimes servings are 15-30 minutes late.
Soupstock: Bicycle expedition to survey mclaren park, possibly next weekend. Look for FLAT bike routes, conduct site survery for power and water, bathrooms. Flyers to be taken to USF. Volunteer table at the event. Flush out more stuff on conference. Make copies of FNB ops manual. Create some sort of signifier for volunteers — t-shirt, bandana, etc! Alex gave an overview of preparations. It’s looking good! Still waiting to hear from city on permit details, etc.
Everyone is leaving: William, Johanna + Jessica, possibly Robert, Next month. Caitlin, june. Lauren, July. We’ll be down Thursday, possibly Sunday. Some folks will be back in fall. Other USF students have expressed interest in doing it over the summer. Is Friday still serving? What should we do about equipment, using S40 as a space —- no S40/FNB members present, so we want to assess their interest, opinions on the issue, we will talk to caitlin or william about this. Some unease with storing things if no one was actively aware of what’s stored there / involved with FNB as things might get misplaced or unintentionally disappear. Tentative ideas for Plan B, storing supplies in garages, closets, maybe Flower Shop?
Cool ideas: FNB boot camp / open house, where we show people how to start a serving. General spring time volunteer drive, promotion, recruitment. Finding outside places to provide a kitchen — it’s a lower barrier to start a serving if people don’t have to put a space up for cooking. City or community buildings? churches like MCC, Unitarians, others? Possible FNB van, or some sort of more stable oversight? meetings as form of oversight? Possible other places to talk about FNB stuff: BBQ with UA in the bay next weekend & Santa Cruz Anarchist Convergence two weeks from now.
Chez Gay Cafe: Be there or be square. Fake mustaches? tuxedo t-shirts? it’ll be fabulous Some time in late june. possibly other opportunities for servings then too. 😉
Sunday, April 26th Station 40
3030b 16th st, SF, CA
6:00PM.
Celebrate spring and wish a farewell to some of our beloved FNBers as they travel for the summer.
