Happy New Year
We asked people to capture one moment of January 1 2006.
Here's what they sent.

Start something
Joe wanted cheap ethical clothes that didn't make him look
like a turnip. He couldn't find any, so he quit his job and
set up a co-operative to make them. Here's how he got on in
the first twelve months:

Take Me Out
************
There's a writing workshop for Pick Me Up editors on the
evening of this coming Tuesday 14th. It's being led by
Tom, who's worked on lots of national magazines and used to
be editor at Mixmag and The Face. There are two spaces left,
so if you fancy coming, mail workshop@putmedown.com pronto.
(And if you want to edit an issue of Pick Me up, mail
iwanttobeaneditor@putmedown.com.)

"I'm working on a project to start a School of Art and
Business in London. We're having a meeting about it on
14th February and we need a room that's big enough for 30
people, with a big open kitchen for cooking and watching
cooking. Preferably somewhere near Seven Sisters in North
London. Any suggestions?" Charlie
roomforcharlie@putmedown.com
"Whilst no one was looking the government used the excuse
of a guy with a couple of flags and a megaphone to ban all
unwanted protest around the UK's seat of government. I'm
trying to get 6000 people to form a human chain around the
no protest zone, to show MPs how stupid it is." Richard

"I'm working with Charlie on the art and business school
project. Do you know a female singer who is available for
lunch on 14th February? It would be fantastic if she was
over 60." Bryony
singing@putmedown.com
"I've got a meeting next week with a literary agent about
a book I've half-written. I've never done this before - does
anyone have any advice?" Dougald
