Area 51

hey bol group,
well, we were planning to go to area 51 tonight(friday). We can meet at the clifton pizza hut (does every one knows where it is?) at 7:00 pm sharp. what do the others think? Does any one have transport? Is it a problem for the non-defense/clifton people? We can meet at the pizza hut on our own and can bundle up in a car or something. If anyone has better suggestions please tell us. Can we get a response as to who wants to go and who doesn't? write a post or contact norman or me. We have to get the ball rolling. bye

area 51

heyyyy bol group

its great that you guys are planing on going to area 51 ,but when exactly do you plan on doing that, as in jibran said its a weekend but what time and everything???
i was just wondering since it might be a problem getting to area 51 because people might not know the place for sure......maybe we could first meet someplace that is easier to find............if that's ok, i was thinking about clifton Pizza Hut and from there everyone could pile into someone's car and go :D

hope the area 51 plan works out well.....

ciao

Karachi Bol group

We have decided to go to area 51 (it's still there, right?) with the whole karachi group. Can we get together at 7:00 at goethe (or any other place). I guess it'll be easier because of the weekend. Please those that were not present the last time should come, NORMAN demands it!!!We're having problems getting there. Does someone lives close to area 51? It would be great if we even have just 1 car or something. Please post a comment or something. You know how easily norman gets bored! Ciao
Jibran

hi bol people
i am writing an article for the print issue of DIE ZEIT with deadline sunday night. i will include some photos. i dont know if they will print them, but if any one of you does not want to be on a photo that might be published in germany let me know before sunday.

thanks.

norman

yoohoo!

Hey guys, afraid I can't make it to Goethe this eve.

Norman, when do you fly out of here?

I imagine the Bol group's editing away at their pieces. Been trying to do a little a day myself. But I think I've reached the point of not being able to see the wood for the trees. (If that makes any sense in this context!)

Be sending it in soon though.

Happy treasure seeking, ye pirate lovers...

Norman in Karachi

Greetings Bol group,
I met Norman yesterday at the Jang group protest. He asked me why the upper-middle class youth do not participate in these protests, I told him the truth. Anyway, we are supposed to get together tonight at 6:00 pm at the karachi goethe institute. All karachi Bol members are invited. And remember, this is the 'german' 6:00, not pak. if you have any problems or change of plans, contact Norman and please post it on the Blog. If possible, we can also contact through phone. hope we all can get together as norman wanted to buy pirated DVDs, the pearl of karachi. Auf Wiedersehen!
Jibran

For those who did not get the email, here are the workshop pictures. We are still waiting for Tooba to upload the ones she had.

Deadline Dec 1 for publication

Also I want to remind you that December 1 is fast approaching, and I all urge you to work on your texts and send them to me before or on December 1.
thanks,
Norman

Karachi watch out, I am coming!!

He Bol-People,
I plan to take a flight today to visit Karachi for a couple of days. Please let us all get together soon!! How about tomorrow?? Or tonight??
Later,
Norman

Bol in the Media

What the Daily Times and The News said back on 19/8/07.

And very generous words by Muneeza Shamsie in Newsline Magazine (October 2007).

Here is an article by Ghazi Salahuddin (one of the judges) from the News (25/11/07) that makes a passing mention to the workshop.

And here's another from The Daily Times (25/11/07) that has some very interesting typos.

I will keep linking articles as I find them. Please feel free to do the same.

what did you "bol guys" do on sunday?? did every one go home ok or was there trouble due to the shareef brother's??

Could someone please post The House of Bol poem? Mrs. Nasira Iqbal took mine...
