Kate: i absolutely should
Sent at 4:12 PM on Monday
me: word
i wanna start working on a new thing
Sent at 4:15 PM on Monday
me: but i wanna do it where we just get a crew together and have team practice, but don't really worry about making anything for a while. and then once we've worked up enough team-spirit, make something out of control awesome
Kate: i'm in
when would we meet
and where
me: them's the questions
it would be nice to work in a relatively large, versatile, durable space.
like outside would be nice, but it's kinda cold
and also, i think a consistent time would be awesome, but location could be more flexible
Kate: yes its freakin' freezing out here
me: do we know how much $$$ it was for galaxie?
place was alright, not amazing, but alright
Kate: galaxie is 15 an hour
not bad
and pretty big
me: right right
and if a)we all pitched in or b) we had a fundraiser or c)both, it would be very doable
Kate: i would happily pitch in
for that
Sent at 4:21 PM on Monday
me: me too
i guess questions are
who else would be in that could consistently come?
would they be willing to $$$ a little
?
Kate: i know i would
tess
probably
maggie koller
probably
me: emily braun
probably
Kate: right
me: some of those columbia folks
probably
mike and al
dan?
Kate: right
ooh
probably
me: right on right on
some of the happydog people
maybe
Kate: next thing you know you're at like .75 per person per rehearsal
who wouldnt pay that?
me: seriously
15 folks means 1$!$!$!$ per hour
that's cheaper than western springs dodgeball
Kate: seriously
me: ok
so how about some calendar work here
Kate: okay
yeah
let's do it
me: do you have a regularly available time or times during the week
Kate: sundays are usually wide open for me
as well as monday evenings
and most evenings
i can be available
me: sundays are probably pretty available for people
and one weekday would be pretty rad too
Kate: right
sunday and thursday or soemthing
me: i think sunday like 11-2 or 3
what does "evening" mean for you?
Kate: umm
at galaxie
i could do as early as 6
but others might think 7 would be beter
better or later
me: what if it was 6-9, and it wasn't a big deal if people came at 7?
Kate: or just 7-9
so no one misses anything
me: 2 hours not long enough!!! ROAR!!!
( i have a thing about at least 3 hours)
Kate: then 6-9 it is!
:)
me: OR
6:30-9:30
???
:D
Kate: that would be good
give people
time
me: and not end at 10
Kate: yeah
i like that
i do hate ending at 10
me: freal
Sent at 4:34 PM on Monday
me: ok i like this
i need to work a ton through the holidays as defined by until jan 10th, but after that i will be more opener
although i'll also need a 2nd job then
Kate: right
me: but
how about
Kate: too bad you're not a girl
you could sell lia sophia
me: cursed discrimination
cursed rod and balls
Kate: curse it steve
curse it
me: curse...sieve
B-)
but i digress
so how about this
Sent at 4:38 PM on Monday
me: regularly scheduled programming begins sunday, Jan 11
Sent at 4:39 PM on Monday
me: we have at least 2, preferably 3 sessions before then
Sent at 4:40 PM on Monday
Kate: right
well wait
is galaxie available at those times?
Sent at 4:43 PM on Monday
Kate: or do you just want to have the time, and worry about space later?
me: worry about space later
Kate: then yeah
that sounds good
me: ok
and
just to see how it goes
i think i am going to knock off the pretending i'm not the leader thing
and actually be a director
Kate: steve that's good
people need directions
from someone
me: and then if anyone has any bright ideas and wants to lead a session, they are more than welcome to
but otherwise
i'm just gonna do it
Kate: yes steve
lead
lead
i think that sounds great though
me: here everybody!
follow me!
(bagpipes and marching)
Kate: and i think people wouldn't mind paying like $6 a week to have a space
for rehearsing
and making something
with people they like
me: probably not
Kate: and who knows, maybe we could find someplace cheaper than galaxie
me: like link's hall
Kate: right
smaller space
shittier parking
me: or a large apartment if someone has one
Kate: but cheaper space
me: like happydog once the floor gets fixed (it got broke)
anyhow i'm going to send out an email right now
Kate: right
me: the project is called
coming...together
or just
coming together
Sent at 4:50 PM on Monday
Kate: or
cumming together?
ew
sorry
gross
me: haha that's funny
see what you did here
was take something implicit
that we were saying
and you actually went there
and made it explicit
Kate: thanks
will you be sending out a big email about the convo we just had
me: yeah
Kate: or maybe just copying this convo
me: i like that too
Kate: and pasting it into the body of the email
me: in fact i prefer that
Kate: you might need to summarize though
me: i will
should i do the summary as an attachment?
so the body of the email isn't too overwhelming
Kate: i think that would be a good idea
