Hello! Miriam and Inmn are getting ready to do a Live Like the World is Dying episode about planning DIY events, with a little bit of a focus on a time-honored type of event, a DIY concert. We're interviewing each other, as well as a friend who has been planning DIY events for a really long time. Let us know if you have any questions you'd like to us to ask or topics that you'd like us to cover! Some, but not all of, the event types on our radar: -Concerts-Plays/performances-Book clubs-Game nights-Park HangThanks!

Similar to what you have listed but would also love to hear about, Block Party and Dance Party Events. I'm dreaming of hosting Family Friendly Raves that would attract not just families, but people across generations.

For book clubs: How do you encourage people to come back? How do you balance covering complex theory with making an inviting space for newcomers? How do book clubs fit into a wider field of action and practice? Tips for remembering names and faces?

one of the low-effort things I've been thinking about starting is a regular "color birthday cards for incarcerated queers" event at the library, as a way of finding local community. it would be awesome to be able to have bigger events, but as someone new to the area with no local network I would love more other suggestions for small events, too!

Wonderful! Y'all are the best. I am extremely interested to hear about anarchist town halls, if y'all have any experience planning those. Specifically I want to hear about the aspect of bringing already established local groups together, local activists. I would want to invite them in such a way that they are respected and have space held for them, and that becomes tricky when you're lucky in a town like mine (Indianapolis, Indiana) to have many such helpers doing amazing things. How do I keep space for many groups at once, how do I make sure they all get equitable treatment? And by that I mean... so say I have one group that is small and likes that, but one group that is bigger and more complex, and then 10 in-between. They have different needs and that's great. How do I platform everyone at the hall? What all does a good town hall accomplish? What are good goals for one? This is perfectly timed, I've been dying to ask Margaret and if not her, her friends are the best! And if you guys don't get time to talk about it that's totally fine but I'm really glad that I have a chance to ask these questions and maybe have them answered. Thank you thank you thank you!
