Ahren: After the end of this week, turn the heater off when you're closing. Boiler Day is gonna have free food, live music, and possibly a talent show. And it looks like it'll be ending with a dance party! We are closing (theoretically) on the 25th, 26th, and 27th of February. Let us know if you have any ideas for the event. Our computer situation is slowly becoming less dysfunctional. Please deal with customers right away upon their showing up. If you're behind the counter, try to keep the room organized so that people can get to the counter. Good job doing a good job!

L'Ellen: Valentine's Day is coming up! Wanna help make cookies? Talk to me.

Pwaullla: No shows this weekend! Jazz Jam on Thursday! And if you know any bands that want to play on Boiler Day, (March 3rd) let me know!

Noah: If you don’t have a food handler’s permit, talk to me. Good job on being here and doing a good job. Talk to me about coming with me to put up posters around town. And we need people to help us deliver Valentines on Valentine’s Day.

Board: We need to get a Zine out before Boiler Day. Monday the 20th of February is the cutoff date for submissions for the Zine. Get art, poetry, comics, awesomeness, etc. to Becky. The Zine meeting will be on Mondays at 3:00 p.m. and then 4:30 p.m. Tomorrow morning (Tuesday) at 9 o'clock at St. Paul's Conference Center there will be a UGN meeting. It'll be about new requirements for UGN grants. Steve's doing Food Not Bombs this Saturday. Next Board Meeting will be on February 20th at 6:30 p.m.

Community Issues: Amanda's doing Art Night tomorrow (and the next Tuesday) between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. and will be experimenting with wire sculpture. This Saturday, L'Ellen is going to be picking up litter, starting around 1 p.m. Meet up with her at the Boiler Room! Occupy will be Occupying the Upstage at 2 p.m. on Saturday. Come check it out! Join in!
