We're working with Fearless City on a campaign to gather phones for downtown eastside artists and residents called Phones for Fearless.

We're already awash in the blur of excitement with phones arriving, folks signing up for the pick up list and articles coming out. In the interest of efficiency, here's the details of how the pick-up fest is shaping up.

Cross-posted from Fearless City for your interest and participation:

The Phones for Fearless campaign is underway! We have a plan of action, the first phones are in hand, the bloggers are talking and we're ready for prancing through the snow with a sack of wintery libation to the good kids with extra phones to donate.

We'll be out and about Dec. 23rd from 1~-4 to gather phones and spread cheer.

A few answers to the queries:

Can i come along?

Yes you can come along to help! Bring a rucksack and your media making device to capture photos and videos of the shenangins. Meet at Raincity Studios HQ at 10:30 to head out into the wilds of Vancouver to harvest mobile phones in rag-tag bands.

Can i donate my phone without a power supply?

Sure. Coincidentally enough, Fearless City's trove includes many power supplies without phones - we'll pair them together for fun. Accessories, power supplies and batteries are all encouraged. Keep your SIM cards though we'll clear the phones first.

I am a DTES artist/resident or non-profit organization, how do i get my hands on a phone(s)?

Come to Fearless City's Wednesday meetings from 1-3 at Lori Krill Co-op, 65 W Cordova, to get peer training and find out how to get access to a phone and participate in Fearless City campaigns.

How about standard old office landline handsets?

Umm, we do like extra digital cameras but not other office equipment so much, we are hauling rucksacks so nothing heavy ;-)but if you have something great, we'l make arrangements.

I am writing a blog post, uploading Flickr photos and videos, can i get some tags?
