Eos Amaterasu: centers or venues
Eos Amaterasu: "center?"
Eliza Madrigal: ah, yes either...
Eos Amaterasu: fringes

Susan Sorensson (iwandertoo): someone mentioned that they were traveling for business...for shorter retreats - this might be the doorway to small get togethers
Eliza Madrigal: as long as the accomodation is for average 11 and nice food choices... space...
Susan Sorensson (iwandertoo): where the expenses for some wouldnt be so high
Susan Sorensson (iwandertoo): (eek sorry...)
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, no, please go on Susan
Susan Sorensson (iwandertoo): if individuals know they will have trips - perhaps this info could be shared and others could decide

Susan Sorensson (iwandertoo): lol
Wol Euler: hehehe
Maxine Walden: :)
Samúð (oo0oo): lol
Korel Laloix: More thinking of Kiowa or Black Kettle NGL.
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Not to mention alligators

Samúð (oo0oo): is one allowed to scratch an alligator bite?

Eliza Madrigal: yes well they are afraid of the mosquitos too
Maxine Walden: alligator mosquitoes?
Eos Amaterasu: Or those places in the US, Korel?
Korel Laloix: Both in Oklahoma/Kansas.
Eliza Madrigal: :)) Sam
Eliza Madrigal: Last week Druth (think druth?) mentioned that it might be nice to have a map of PaB avatars' general areas
Eliza Madrigal: pin points like stars in the sky....
Eos Amaterasu: might break SL/RL boundaries for some

Eos Amaterasu: but we're talking RL
Eliza Madrigal: Hello Arch :)
Santoshima: hey Arch
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Archie!
Samúð (oo0oo): :: thinks of how wonderful it would be to see live dances such as Korel has shared::
Wol Euler: wb arch
Eliza Madrigal: yes, which is okay... that was item 3 (smaller RL gatherings) and seems great to move up
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): hi Arch:)
Samúð (oo0oo): Arch :)
Yaku (yakuzza.lethecus): hi arch
Eliza Madrigal: (brb, apologies, phone)
Arch (archmage.atlantis): Yes

Arch (archmage.atlantis): The devil in the detais
Eos Amaterasu: For example, any cities where there's more than one guardian or PaBer?
Eos Amaterasu: NY/NJ area

Wol Euler: seattle/vancouver has a few too
Maxine Walden: yes
Arch (archmage.atlantis): The Everglades
Korel Laloix: NY sounds cold.
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Eos Amaterasu: sounds like a happy place, Arch
Arch (archmage.atlantis): The coice where filf gegins

Wol Euler: O.O you're proposing ND and you think NY might be cold? :)
Korel Laloix: No, I am thinking Oklahoma.
Korel Laloix: ND is way out of the way.
Wol Euler: ah, I misread, sorry
Korel Laloix: I won't even go up there to dance.... smiles

Santoshima: my thought is that if someone is going to recommend a location that is near them, they would be willing (and able) to help in being liason to make arrangements in that area. does this seem reasonable?

Arch (archmage.atlantis): Ttis one planet
Wol Euler: agreed, santo
Arch (archmage.atlantis): I cannot rea what I type
Arch (archmage.atlantis): Yet I believe
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Oh dear

Maxine Walden: seems to have been the custom, Santo
Santoshima: ok
Santoshima: not accustomed to the customs

Korel Laloix: yes, I can get a few tents...... smiles
Eos Amaterasu: cf http://wiki.playasbeing.org/Retreats/About_Retreats
Santoshima: :) korel
Eliza Madrigal: Thanks Santo... Eos has been expert coordinator for last year +.... generally the workings, Eos?
Eos Amaterasu: may need to be human full-duplex for Arch
Korel Laloix: What does tha tmean?

Eos Amaterasu: Yes, a local coordinating person is necessary, to get all the ground details worked out
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): hi steve :)

Eos Amaterasu: San Francisco bay area has several people, I think
Korel Laloix: Woudl love to go there.
Eliza Madrigal: :)

Korel Laloix: My idea would be to have you over at Kiowa, then drag you all to a powwow and make you all get up at open dance time.... smiles

Wol Euler smiles.
Eos Amaterasu: PaBers did one RL retreat near Santa Cruz, and another at Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco
Korel Laloix: Lessons in advance though during the retreat.
Santoshima: :)***
Samúð (oo0oo): :)

Wol Euler: all right, I'll send you the infos on Rineck tonight
Santoshima: ok, thanks
Eliza Madrigal: Thanks Santoshima, feel free to send notes to the group as well... reminding
Zen (zen.arado): I could recommend a local place but not sure about being able to manage it myself..so hesitate
Santoshima: you wouldn't necessarily need to organize it, just be a contact
 

Eos Amaterasu: The retreat pages http://wiki.playasbeing.org/Retreats) have details about previous retreat venues

Aphrodite Macbain: Has Maxine mentioned that we came up some recommendations at the retreat?

Eliza Madrigal remembers the blissful couple she met in line at the airport leaving Halifax... coming from Cape Breton....
Maxine Walden: not yet, aph, had not mentioned the recommendations
stevenaia Michinaga: http://www.columcille.org/
Eos Amaterasu: Take off the comma, San (sorry, s/b http://www.macleods.com/beachvillage.html )
Santoshima: ok, ty
stevenaia Michinaga: not on the retreat site but nearby

Aphrodite Macbain: spent some time talking about PaB and coming up with ideas that might help the organzation run smoothly. They are located in the wiki on retreats.
We hope to address them one by one at the Guardian meetings and at the Working Group.
The are currently listed here: http://wiki.playasbeing.org/Retreats/2011-09_Seattle_USA
Aphrodite Macbain: I'll mention them at the 1pm meeting too

Coffee Mug whispers: Ahh! Fresh Hot Coffee
Samúð (oo0oo): yess ty for that Aph
Samúð (oo0oo): helpful
Santoshima: thanks, stevenaia, suggestion noted
Aphrodite Macbain: scroll down to the bottom of he page. They are all there

Eos Amaterasu: Those recommendations are not so much about retreats but _from_ the Vachon Island retreaters
Aphrodite Macbain: exactly Eos
Aphrodite Macbain: general recommendatons we had discussed
Eos Amaterasu: #occupypavilion :-)

Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): :)
Aphrodite Macbain: These are only recommendations that came up as a result of concerns raised
Eos Amaterasu: we need a smart Javascript person to turn all the hellos and goodbyes in the log into a wave
Eliza Madrigal: possibly middle ways to be found
Aphrodite Macbain smiles
Eliza Madrigal: re hello/goodbye dualities
Eliza Madrigal: hehe
Maxine Walden: yes, good recommendations, maybe we can speak to them after the topic of retreats which began earlier this meeting, aph :)
Aphrodite Macbain: It is suggested as a way of making it a but easier for whomever is posting the logs

Santoshima: could people possible send any recommendations by email to me within the next couple days?
Santoshima: i'm happy to do the gathering of any additional information
Santoshima: about placess
Aphrodite Macbain: regarding retreats San?
Santoshima: jut need to get going on it while i have time
Santoshima: yes

Santoshima: said i'd compile a list
Santoshima: cople = couplce
Santoshima: couple
Aphrodite Macbain: are there any restrictions to what can be recommended?
Santoshima: (yikes)
Santoshima: well, suggest, and then we can determine
Santoshima: 10-14 people

Wol Euler: I think we leave that to the discretion of the person who recommends
Wol Euler: if you think it's appropriate, recommend it

Santoshima: accessible to international airport
Santoshima: good ground transportation
Santoshima: good food and restful setting

Aphrodite Macbain: I dont want to propose anything impossible
Eos Amaterasu: btw, over the last two year average number of people at a retreat has been more like 6 or 7 at most

Santoshima: affordable

Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Don't do the undoable Aph :)
Santoshima: pema at last meeting suggested this higher number
Eliza Madrigal: the expectation would be that fewer retreats = larger groups
Wol Euler nods.
Santoshima: to account for a reduced number of retreats per year
Aphrodite Macbain grins at Aggers.

Eos Amaterasu: reasonable upper bound, yes, but make sure the finances work with a lower number
Santoshima: yes
Eliza Madrigal nods

Aphrodite Macbain: These are useful suggestions
Santoshima: ther is possible funding in place for those ho might need it?
Santoshima: is there?

Eos Amaterasu: we've had some generous donors who made that possible, and they are still making that possible
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Aphrodite Macbain: I gather. But it's not well publicized
Santoshima: that's great
Eliza Madrigal: **********Applause!!**********
Eliza Madrigal: **********Applause!!**********
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Aggers (agatha.macbeth) claps
Maxine Walden: :)
Eliza Madrigal: much appreciated... each adding to according, etc
stevenaia Michinaga: Working on winning the lottery to endow PaB
Eliza Madrigal: (hehe @ Wol)
Maxine Walden: :)
Wol Euler: ?
Eos Amaterasu also wonders
Eliza Madrigal: (each according, etc) is a classic Wol phrase
Wol Euler: oh, I see :)
Eos Amaterasu groks
Wol Euler: ty :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal: in SL one can't hear my vocal imitation...
Wol Euler smiles.
Zen (zen.arado): a Marxian phrase?
Aphrodite Macbain raises one eyebrow
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Zen (zen.arado): (seems to remember)
Eliza Madrigal: o.O
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Illogical captain
Eos Amaterasu: (how does aph do that?)
Santoshima: it's genetic
Wol Euler has a clockwork eyebrow-raising device
Santoshima: :
Santoshima: )
Aphrodite Macbain: practice
Aggers (agatha.macbeth) winds it up
Aphrodite Macbain: ouch

Eos Amaterasu is still wondering if there is a single city where there is more than one guardian
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Have I crashed?
Aggers (agatha.macbeth): Oh
Santoshima: yes
Wol Euler pinches you experimentally

Eliza Madrigal: Some of you may be interested in the Art History workshop next week. In the 17th century, a number of Dutch artists began painting images of the local churches and cathedrals. The paintings almost always contain a few figures, some in conversation, and sometimes dogs too, in great, soaring spaces. If you have ever wondered about these paintings, you are in luck. Next week some of the questions will be addressed.

Octobber 16, 2011 - The Art of Preaching in Seventeenth-Century Dutch Church Interior Paintings
Sara Brown (musettae Resident) a PhD candidate at the University of Delaware Art History Department will join us to talk about the 17th century paintings of church interiors. (Email from Adams)

Eliza Madrigal: each has its charms
Korel Laloix: I am a lingerer.... if that is a word.
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: it is

Korel Laloix: What did I miss?
Wol Euler: the tapdancing giraffe was pretty cool
Korel Laloix: OH, that would have been nice to see.

Wol Euler nods.
Korel Laloix: Not monkeys!
Korel Laloix: That is sooooooo 1990s.... smiles
Eliza Madrigal: haha
Wol Euler: mostly we talked about RL retreats (future)
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, it was your hoops that started it all

Korel Laloix: That would be fun.
Wol Euler: mind you, ever since "Fargo" I have a burning desire to go to North Dakota
