2011.01.09 08:00 - Guardian Meeting

This Guardian meeting was attended by (in order of appearance) Maxine, Stevenaia, Jan, myself, Bruce, Arch, Sartre, Ewan, Bleu, Lucinda, Riddle, and  Aphrodite. I decided to post the log because I didn't think that had been discussed with anyone; Steve sent me his log and it turns out I still missed some of the initial hellos.

During this meeting, we discussed how to do some things in SL, the upcoming Art as Being project and the Being series of sessions currently under way.

Jan Qualia: shopping is more fun for women
stevenaia Michinaga: and who is your alt Sartre?
Jan Qualia: Yaku
Sartre Placebo: exactly
Sartre Placebo: i am yaku's alt
Arch (archmage.atlantis): Depends on what type of shopping Jan :)
stevenaia Michinaga: aww, great, my poor brain (was wondering who all these new people were)
Jan Qualia: much more variety
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
Jan Qualia: like catalogues that have 80% for women
Jan Qualia: Hi Ewan
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Ewan
Sartre Placebo: hi ewan
Arch (archmage.atlantis): In clothing, true.....but not in any particular hobby, or interest
stevenaia Michinaga: was thinking of the nice little structure that has taken hold att guardian meetings, speaking in circles of sorts
Ewan (ewan.bonham): Hi Folks!
stevenaia Michinaga: at meeting, rather
stevenaia Michinaga: there are no circles here
stevenaia Michinaga: just big rectangle
Maxine Walden gave you playasbeing.
Jan Qualia: we did that a lot at the retreat too
Arch (archmage.atlantis): Heck, not only are there on circles, this end of the lodge doesn't even appear on photos...only water
Maxine Walden: thanks Steve, just practicing my notecard giving
Jan Qualia: Hi Luci

Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Hi, Bleu.
Maxine Walden: live bunnies I think
Lucinda Lavender: thank you....form Samuo
SophiaSharon Larnia: :0
stevenaia Michinaga: hello Aphrodite
Jan Qualia: yes think it a good idea Steve
Jan Qualia: it makes the more reticent speak more
stevenaia Michinaga: I view it as a soft structure as anyone can pass (no pressure0
Jan Qualia: without pressure yes
Ewan (ewan.bonham): I agree , Steve..
Jan Qualia: creates some space
Arch (archmage.atlantis): Hmm, let me see if I can catch up.......hello SS, Lucinda, Maxine, Bruce, Bleu, Stevenaia, Aph, Ewan, jan....and, of course,....the bunny slippers :)
stevenaia Michinaga: sometimes just saying "pass" is a contribution and engagement
Bruce (bruce.mowbray) ponders bunny slippers as an entity of Being -- all by themselves.
Maxine Walden: (I'm trying to catch up the conversation too, Arch)
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Do we have an agenda for this meeting?
Ewan (ewan.bonham): Yes, it is a way of pewople saying at least they are paying attention..
Aphrodite Macbain: we don't haveEliza today
stevenaia Michinaga: always trying to balance structure and chaos, or non-structure to our meetings, this has a nice balance to it,and a way of focus
Maxine Walden: maybe we feel lost without a leader...:)
stevenaia Michinaga: something I think many of us have been looing for for quite a while
Aphrodite Macbain: we just need an agenda

Bleu Oleander: how about the art of being project?
Jan Qualia: maybe we need issues to discuss
Bleu Oleander: are you all taking notes?
Aphrodite Macbain: yes, absolutely
Bleu Oleander: and thinking about your photos?
Bruce (bruce.mowbray) furiously takes notes.
Bleu Oleander: any questions?
Aphrodite Macbain: dont be mad bruce
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): ha ha!
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
Aphrodite Macbain: he he
Arch (archmage.atlantis): Mad? as in hatter or as in max?
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): I understand that photos cannot bve posted in the dome until after Jan 30th -Is that still correct?
Aphrodite Macbain: can you dscribe the intent of this one Bleu?
Bleu Oleander: posted after Jan 30th
Bleu Oleander: then the session is on Feb 6
Jan Qualia: what sort of photos?
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): ok.
Bleu Oleander: at noon
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): thanks.
Aphrodite Macbain: for those who are still trying to get their head round it
Aphrodite Macbain: multiples selves?
Bleu Oleander: a photo representing something you discovered about self, avatars and alts
Jan Qualia: it seems more a verbal project?
Bleu Oleander: it's both a verbal and visual project
Jan Qualia: than the others anyway
Arch (archmage.atlantis): Or the lack thereof, also, I would think Bleu
Aphrodite Macbain: that's what I was thinking but our imaginations are being challenged
Bleu Oleander: two-fold challenge
Bruce (bruce.mowbray) tries to get his head around it.
Bleu Oleander: Bruce you should be great at this
Bleu Oleander: nice
Aphrodite Macbain: can you get your head to fold?
Ewan (ewan.bonham): Where do we submit these?
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, this one is coming to me slower
Aphrodite Macbain: just dont get boxed in
Jan Qualia: brain convolutions
Bleu Oleander: the photos will be installed in the Village Art Dome
stevenaia Michinaga: was that a "Boxy" pun, Aphodite
Bleu Oleander: after Jan 30th, prior to the session on Feb 6
Aphrodite Macbain: I was thinking of putting all my avis into one...
Bleu Oleander: great idea Aph
Aphrodite Macbain: basket
Aphrodite Macbain: kidding
Ewan (ewan.bonham): Do we give them to you, Bleu?
stevenaia Michinaga: Hi Adams
Jan Qualia: Hi Adams
Bleu Oleander: you just drop them on a blank board Ewan
Ewan (ewan.bonham): Hi Adams..
Maxine Walden: hi, Adams
Aphrodite Macbain: head of aphro, body of Willendorf, & somehow mix in Blissful and Burly...
Bleu Oleander: and place a notecard with it
Arch (archmage.atlantis): Imagines one large basket, on an ocean, bobbing up and down, stuffed with avs
Adams Rubble: Hello everyone :)
Bleu Oleander: hi Adams
Sartre Placebo: hey adams

Riddle Sideways: TY
Riddle Sideways: working on it
Bleu Oleander: k Aph!
Riddle Sideways: see others are too
Bruce (bruce.mowbray) thinks his typist will be skipping Quaker Mtg. to do the Art as Being event on the 6th.
Maxine Walden: :)
Bleu Oleander: one view point you can use for your photos is "how others react to you and/or your alt"
Arch (archmage.atlantis): .....be one with the star.....become the star
Bruce (bruce.mowbray) plans indulges and absolutions in advance.
Maxine Walden: :))
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): indulgences*

Bleu Oleander: great, I think that works nicely
Aphrodite Macbain: enuf sessions? arch
Maxine Walden: it did seem to work well with Pema, didn't it?
Aphrodite Macbain: what made it work so well?

Aphrodite Macbain: what was his theme?
Bleu Oleander: so some structure, some free form
Arch (archmage.atlantis): Yes Aph, enuf for the moment
Bleu Oleander: his theme was "PaB NOW"
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): Pema's theme was to tell how you felt about PaB.
Bruce (bruce.mowbray): yep.
Bleu Oleander: how we felt about PaB now
Maxine Walden: Maybe bleu can also comment, but Pema began with suggesting the theme and format, going around in a circle with comments, and then he began with his view of Being or PaB now...
Ewan (ewan.bonham): I see..
Aphrodite Macbain: And what will it be about today?
Arch (archmage.atlantis): An experiment for @ couple of mones
stevenaia Michinaga: the log is posted
