Subject: [free-culture] Free Culture @ NYU Advances to Super Bowl XLII

So we're back with a crazed vengeance matched only by the New York Giants (I
don't really like football either, but I needed something to get this e-mail
started, no?) --
First things first, our first meeting of 2008:
*
Monday, January 28th, 2008
8:30 PM - 10:00 PM General Meeting in Kimmel Center Room #907*

There will be food.

We'll be discussing the latest and greatest happenings in the world of free
culture, Creative Commons, and Free software. We'll also be discussing our
future plans for the semester including a Tisch film remix contest (complete
with an iPod as the prize). Feel free to come even if we haven't seen you in
a while, or if you've never been before!

Next is the OSA Club Fest. We'll be there and you'll be looking for free
candy, so stop by our booth:

According to COLA, the iPOD is closed source garbage created by an evil
corporation called "Appil" who only make HW for morons with pony tails
and too much money.
