Eliza Madrigal: Hiya Cat :)
Catrinamonblue: hi :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hey, Aph
Raffila Millgrove is online.
Catrinamonblue: Hi Aph :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): HI
Eliza Madrigal: Can either of you tell me, is this a new tree? behind you, Aph?
Bleu (Bleu Oleander) is online.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I think so
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Here comes Bleu who will tell us
Eliza Madrigal: If it isn't, I'm going to feel very silly. I love it and have been taking photos of it for five minutes
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): both trees are new
Eliza Madrigal: both?
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I think
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): the big one behind the pavilion
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): hi guys
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Hi Bleu
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Bleu :) You have the answer we are seeking
Eliza Madrigal: ah, I've missed the one at the pavilion
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): hopefully :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Raffi :)
Catrinamonblue: I think the tree has been here a bit. I took some pics of it last Feb :)
Eliza Madrigal: I *love* this (new?) tree
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Hiya Raffi
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes , me too
Catrinamonblue: was looking back at pics to see :)
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I keep changing the trees here
Eliza Madrigal: how did I miss it before?
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): rearranging the garden
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): me too
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, so it isn't all new, but recently switched out?
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): was here last time I think
Raffila Millgrove: Hi everyone. Please excuse if I am scattered because I am babysitting and busy here and there with the various...
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I"ve switched out a few times
Eliza Madrigal: I've taken a dozen photos of it, Bleu, haha
Eliza Madrigal: No worries, Raffi :)
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I guess the baby is awake. :-)
Catrinamonblue: :)
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I keep getting free trees from the them ...
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): from whom?
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): by Hayabusa Design
Eliza Madrigal: I get things from them too but haven't looked... maybe something wonderful is there
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): ah
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): each tree they send is nice
Eliza Madrigal: I feel so unobservant
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I've purchased some too
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): You must be a good customer!
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I have been lol
Eliza Madrigal grins
Eliza Madrigal: thank you
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I like to support good designers
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Hi RIddle
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Riddle :)
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): hi Riddle :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): nice pants Riddle
Riddle Sideways: brb
Eliza Madrigal feels as though Riddle should have a sitar
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): :)
Eliza Madrigal: So, we might as well begin
Eliza Madrigal: Was hoping stevie might make it today... perhaps in a bit
Eliza Madrigal: to see if all well with the books now
Eliza Madrigal: but other things are, has anyone new signed up for the ongoing AoB exhibit Bleu?
Riddle Sideways: back
Riddle Sideways: hi All
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): not yet Eliza ... ur up next :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I wish I could come up with an idea for it....
Eliza Madrigal: I am, perhaps that's why it is on my mind ^.^
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): Adams will leave hers up until end of July then ur on ....
Eliza Madrigal: maybe thumbing through photos would help, Aph
Raffila Millgrove: Look thru photos you have saved Aph. it will spur your thinking.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Idont think I'm that interesting...
Eliza Madrigal: you are!
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): aww
Catrinamonblue: we all have our story :)
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): actually, you can use new photos too ... whatever you need to tell your story :)
Eliza Madrigal: what I find hard is translating a flat image into the feelings it evokes from me
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I guess that's why the text is valuable
Eliza Madrigal: more so with an SL image...photography in SL has come a long way
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): perhaps the presentation will help translate from the flat images
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): yes
Raffila Millgrove: you mean translate to words? doesn't the photo already tel l the story sort of?
Eliza Madrigal: hope so! :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): animate it
Eliza Madrigal: well it needs both... am working at some idaes
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): it did for Adams ... really well I think!
Eliza Madrigal: ideas, too
Eliza Madrigal nods
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I think its a great exercise for all of us really
Raffila Millgrove: both presentations so far.. they set a very high standard....
Maggie Mae Bhaktiguru (any1 Gynoid) is online.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Play with a larger idea---identity and the naure of self.
Raffila Millgrove: which is good but then.. one has to follow. lol
Catrinamonblue: yes indeed
Eliza Madrigal laughs
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): well the 9 years means very different things to all of us ... fun to hear and see our own self assessments
Eliza Madrigal: it is actually quite fun
Eliza Madrigal: but 9 images turns out to be a lot if bringing forward some depth about it all
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): so I hope others will sign up also :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I haven't been around SL for 9 years
Ari (Arisia Vita) is online.
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): "up to 9" can be only 1 if you like
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): oh
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): cool
Catrinamonblue: :)
Eliza Madrigal is only 8 and a half, roughly
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I'm 7 roughly
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I think I'm 8 and a half too
Eliza Madrigal is probably 8 feet tall also, hehe
Catrinamonblue: I'm the baby at 4 and half :)
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): ha!
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I"ve gotten much shorter over the years LOL
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): If I can introduce my different characters from different worlds (Italy, the Amazon) along with PaB I think I could do it.
Eliza Madrigal: that would be wonderful, Aph
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): sure, sounds great Aph
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): really? I thought it had to be about PaB
Riddle Sideways: umm, why is it that artsie, creative, get-things-done people always think it would be easy for me too? :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): then I'll sign up Bleu :-)
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): well, its ur life as a guardian
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): wonderful!
Eliza Madrigal: Yay, Aph
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): you're creative too Riddle
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): choose a month and let me know
Eliza Madrigal nods
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): ok
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Is October taken?
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): Eliza is august and San is October
Raffila Millgrove: my contributions as a guardian are minus zero.. so.... I am not keen to get itno any exhibit of my life as guardian.
Maria (Marita Decosta) is online.
Eliza Madrigal: there seems to be a feeling of needing to be fancy or have a lot to show/say
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): you have operated in many worlds Raffi
Raffila Millgrove: San told me I should put up photos of my cherry trees since I have a collection which was nice of her. lol
Marianne McCann is online.
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): you can choose as narrow or broad an aspect as you want
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): cherry trees?
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): where Raffi? RL?
Eliza Madrigal: :) would like that... would create "the feeling of Raffi"
Raffila Millgrove: because I was talkiing all rabid one day about having to get land again so i could plant my cherry trees as i couldn't go thru cherrry season without them.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): lol
Eliza Madrigal: maybe not 9 pictures of the trees, but one never knows ^.^
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): maybe you can sit in them
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): on different branches
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): cherry trees 9 ways
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): :-)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): hang, sit, stand
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): different perspectives on a theme
Riddle Sideways: could lower the bar for everyone by doing 1 picture of a guardian sitting on a cushion waiting for strangers to become friends
Raffila Millgrove: I don't like to bring up that amazing art show of the Buddha Pema and Boxy.. however.. i feel that a truthful exhibit of my life as guardian could go sideways fast as did that entry into exhibit.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): maybe you could run your idea by the WG first
Catrinamonblue: :-D
Eliza Madrigal: maybe if you gave time to work with it Raffi, you would be surprised what would show up / how
Raffila Millgrove: lol
Raffila Millgrove: hahahaha. see already i got people nervous.
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): well, we have time ... will continue exhibitions as long as peeps want to do them :)
Raffila Millgrove: that is so funny.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): what is?
Raffila Millgrove: that maybe i should run my idea by the WG.. that is so funny.
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): no jury on this ... so no need to run ideas by anyone
Eliza Madrigal: I don't think anyone should leave something out that they really wish to convey
Dankey Kaang (StampedOne) is offline.
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): right
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): If she felt nervous about it Bleu....
Eliza Madrigal: ah
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): do what feels right
Raffila Millgrove: I understand what you mean Aph. i did get it ok.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): nods
Raffila Millgrove: I wasn not taking it serious is all.
Eliza Madrigal: And another angle of reflection and/or introduction, are the ongoing interviews and re-interviews Adams is doing
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): good :-)
Eliza Madrigal: I love reading them
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes, great interviews!
Raffila Millgrove: I was just kidding around. i have a dark sense of humor sometimes.
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Raffila Millgrove: yes the interviews have been.. so interesting. i reread a lot of the old ones too.
Raffila Millgrove: both the new and the old have been great.
Catrinamonblue: i'm still working on my answers for the interview :)
Vulcan Viper is offline.
Eliza Madrigal: one can't help but read the older ones once you dip in
Dankey Kaang (StampedOne) is online.
Eliza Madrigal: that's great, Cat
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): even though we've been together for a long time, I feel both these projects are adding new layers
Vulcan Viper is online.
Catrinamonblue: :)
Eliza Madrigal: it feels integrative
Eliza Madrigal: I don't know too much about gardening but it feels like tending to the layers
Eliza Madrigal: enrichment
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): adding fertilizer
Eliza Madrigal: maybe because we've been together a long time we forget that there is a lot to explore
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): exactly
Catrinamonblue: :)
Eliza Madrigal: new old trees being planted all the time
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I have been pleasantly surprised by what people have said
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): :)
Eliza Madrigal: yes Aph?
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): yes- there is so much thoughtfulness
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): ...um not that I didnt think people are not thoughtful
Eliza Madrigal: lol
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): but the nature of their thoughts
Eliza Madrigal: I keep thinking of your sharing, although I think it was in session not interview, that Bruce invited you by saying it would be your cup of tea
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): about 9 second pauses
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): yes he did
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): He said it was really his cup of tea
Raffila Millgrove: oh Aph you were invited by Bruce?
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): such an English expression :)_
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): yes
Eliza Madrigal: :) a charming expression
Catrinamonblue: sorry I have to go :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I met him in a meditation site
Catrinamonblue: see you all later :)
Eliza Madrigal: oh, okay Cat, have fun
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): bye Cat
Raffila Millgrove: ooh.. see you later Cat.
Riddle Sideways: by Cat
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): bye Cat :)
Raffila Millgrove: this is a very small crew for a guardian meeting. do you think we picked a poor time after all?
Raffila Millgrove: I thought we picked this time for better attendance.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): It was a popular da
Eliza Madrigal: doesn't seem too much smaller, but it is a new time so may take some consistency
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): day
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): in the good ol days
Raffila Millgrove: someone thought this was a great idea buti am wondering if it was?
Eliza Madrigal: Wol and Aggers both said this would be better for them generally
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I miss Wol
Raffila Millgrove: well gosh there is only six people and one left. that is awful small for a meet.
Raffila Millgrove: usually we have like tenish. don't we have 10 usually?
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): how many active guardians are we now?
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Nods - it's important to have people come if we are planning future activities and events
Eliza Madrigal: I asked for quite a few weeks, if someone would like to host sometimes, to keep meeting on weekends if that is what is wanted...no takers.
Raffila Millgrove: does anyone know? I was trying to count that up the other day.
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): seems like about a dozen
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Weekends are always no good for you now Eliza?
Eliza Madrigal: also if we began event rehearsals, Storm never comes in on weekends ... not that he could definitely make it but maybe a chance if timing is good
Raffila Millgrove: i agree. i don't want to vote or discuss something really important with five people ehre.
Eliza Madrigal: they are iffy, Aph
Eliza Madrigal: that's why we log sessions, though?
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): kk
Raffila Millgrove: well it's going to be too darn late to comment if you have something to add.. when you're reading days later in a log. you know?
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Perhaps decisions should be made via email
Eliza Madrigal: it takes a few weeks for new patterns to take hold, and not everyone checks emails either
Eliza Madrigal: but I'm okay with email conversations if you want to try of course
Raffila Millgrove: ok. well this is not encouraging start on this. that's all.
Eliza Madrigal: for me, sundays at 2pm is 5pm in the evening... it is not such a great time
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I think it's motivation as well. Remember when we were full to overflowing during the first discussions of Wo LE
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): people were really interested and they made time to come
Eliza Madrigal: it is a pretty intensive study to go through
Eliza Madrigal: so I think people lose the rhythm and it seems weird to jump in
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Perhaps if we are discussing something that everyone is interested in and feels a part of, people may come more frequently
Eliza Madrigal: I feel a little like that at times, but since I'm organizing I have to recatchf ast
Eliza Madrigal: *fast
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): nods
Maria (Marita Decosta) is offline.
Eliza Madrigal: my feelings about this are... after working with the patterns all this time... it isn't necessarily about topic
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): :)
Eliza Madrigal: topic matters, but it isn't the main thing
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): It's about availability?
Eliza Madrigal: life rhythms
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): its kinda about community I think
Eliza Madrigal listens
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): its that way about our RL group too
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): its less about the topic and more about being together
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): its social
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): sharing ideas
Eliza Madrigal: my feeling too
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): at least for me
Raffila Millgrove: the point made.. about trying to jump in on the book discussion is very valid. it's not too social and it's very confusing to a newcomer. it's hard to.... get into that.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): It's a combination of things for me
Raffila Millgrove: later. or even early. lol for some of us.
Eliza Madrigal: I also try not to worry about 'numbers' because rich conversations happen with few or many
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes
Raffila Millgrove: numbers matter Eliza.. what you have said about small convo is also true. but numbers matter just as much.. or we won't have.. any small group. we won't have any group. that's the community aspect. all these statement .. each is true.
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): reading the log from yesterday it seemed to me like everyone had a good time even though not so much about the reading
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I think we each have different reasons to come
Eliza Madrigal: if I was too concerned about it, I'd have lost heart when we dropped from like 54 active guardians
Eliza Madrigal: that's true, Bleu
Raffila Millgrove: yes.. were you playing with the puppty for real Bleu.. cause i missed.. having you able to participate as you always say really good stuff.
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): and dropped all those sims too :)
Eliza Madrigal: yes
Raffila Millgrove: yes that was discouraging. no question.
Eliza Madrigal: that was so funny, Bleu
Riddle Sideways: ah oh! Bleu read the log
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I got preoccupied with rl work ... sorry
Sunshine (szavanna) is online.
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): although puppy is distracting :)
Raffila Millgrove: oh it's ok. we had fun thinking of you with your puppy.
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): posted a pic of her on the session log
Eliza Madrigal: I missed that!
Raffila Millgrove: oh cool. i gotta go look at that.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Sorry I missed the convo. I was in the dentist's chair
Eliza Madrigal: https://wiki.playasbeing.org/Chat_Logs/2017/07/2017.07.06_13:00_-_Private_Islands_of_Weirdness
Eliza Madrigal: such a beautiful pup
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): sessions fall right in the middle of work day for me so sometimes I can't give my undivided attention, but try :)
Raffila Millgrove: Ealrier while we were gathering.. I had promised to show my granddaughter what we all looked like in SL because she was wondering. "what is a meeting" so she was here, looking at all of you. seeing what you were wearing today. then she went down for her nap.
Eliza Madrigal: the conversation from Monday was great, too.. so clear when I'm not there :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): What a sweetie Bleu!
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): :)
Eliza Madrigal: how sweet, Raffi :) we all need waves like Bruce's for if she peeks in again sometime
Raffila Millgrove: I told her we had this meeting and she'd have to go take her nap during it.. so i could talk.. and she wanted to see everyone talking. so she was here. i didn't mention.
Riddle Sideways: So Cute !!
Raffila Millgrove: She liked the finger nails on Aph. as we did manicure today and you have lovely one.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): What did she think of us?
Raffila Millgrove: altho your fake hand.. one of them is not matching.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I'm glad someone notices :-)
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Raffila Millgrove: well we notice the fake hand not matching. one of the hell problems of these mesh hands and feet. to match up.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): one is my tanned Amazon hand
Raffila Millgrove: oh. it is deliberate? really?
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): they look ok here I think
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): No it wasnt deliberate
Raffila Millgrove: the adams exhibit is next door so i was also showing to her. she likes to go to art exhibits. she's an old hand at that. even tho only 3.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I have a shape/skin in the Amazon- I'm almost naked with a dark body
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): some windlights change skin color too so perhaps more noticeable
Raffila Millgrove: wow how nice.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): and tattoos!
Eliza Madrigal: fantastic
alexis Odgar is online.
Raffila Millgrove: oh you must show us someday.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I'd be happy to
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): blush
Eliza Madrigal: the dimensions of Aph's virtual lived experience
Eliza Madrigal: Are there other guardian topics? Am I forgetting? Riddle and I changed spots... and the retreat center is moved...
Eliza Madrigal: perhaps good to include in the log :)
Raffila Millgrove: ah did that effect anything. like land or such..
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): There
Riddle Sideways: very nice, Aph
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, great Aph!
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): wow Aph! so not like the Aph I thought I knew!!!
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): :-)
Raffila Millgrove: wow my gosh that is amazing Aph. i gotta get a photo so Julia can see it when she gets up. wow. love it.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): this is where I have dark hands :-)
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): This would be one of my persona in the show Bleu
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes! great!!1
Eliza Madrigal: full of surprises
Riddle Sideways: will there be a new PaB HUD with changed LMs?
Riddle Sideways: not being pushie
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Amazing how we can change our personalities along with our skins
Eliza Madrigal: Need to send the new coordinates to San, actually
Eliza Madrigal: great question
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): good idea
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): ah yes ... I'll mention to San re HUD
Eliza Madrigal: She'd said so and I'd forgotten, thank you
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): you don't want the retreat LM on there right?
Eliza Madrigal: Right
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): so just you and Riddle have switched
Eliza Madrigal: yup :) I'm "sprinkler"
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Do you want me to put the Iris back Eliza?
Eliza Madrigal: Sure, Aph, whatever you'd like to add
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): OK
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): :-)
Eliza Madrigal: there were a few items that were Sunshine's... like the boulders, so I need to make time to find some
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Thanks Raffi
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): its over group land now, so just wear your PaB tag to rez
Eliza Madrigal: I like the feeling now... want to find one flowering tree
Eliza Madrigal goes to scan notes to see what I may be forgetting
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): go through your gift trees :)
Eliza Madrigal: ! yes
Eliza Madrigal: I think there isn't anything really, but the next GM will be August
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Do you have gift trees too Eliza?
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): this one is called: Hayabusa Design Mathematical Cosine Tree M17-6 v1-1G
Eliza Madrigal: I do, since I bought a few trees from her before
Eliza Madrigal: but I didn't open the packages!
Eliza Madrigal: interesting name :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I would talk more about ideas for our anniversary but it would be better if there were more people here
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): some of their trees are only 1 prim, this one is 5
Eliza Madrigal: it may be that email is going to be better to see what true interest is
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): yes
Eliza Madrigal: and then what times people can commit to regularly
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I wonder if people would commit to different types of projects
Raffila Millgrove: I get her stuff too. the last one was the first I didn't like. i love all her free stuff.
Raffila Millgrove: that Cosine tree i liked it a lot.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): eg. poetry reading, dance performance, etc
Eliza Madrigal: I'd like to try something for theater again
Raffila Millgrove: the last poetry readding we did went great. why don't we do that.. like soon.
Raffila Millgrove: rather than wait. as it was easy to set it up. very simple set up on that.
Eliza Madrigal: I've actually not gotten to do much with that, since Sunshine did it all and just added me in :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): It was one idea for our April 1 10th anniversary celebrations
Sorrell Scorpio (Sorrell Fang) is online.
Raffila Millgrove: who did that poetry reading. cause the setup looked kind of simiple.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I organized the last 2 poetry readings
Alpha (Lumi Michinaga) is online.
Raffila Millgrove: couldn't we just do another one Aph?
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): it went well I think
Raffila Millgrove: like soonish?
Eliza Madrigal: they went beautifully
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): hmm
Raffila Millgrove: I don't want to wait .. couldn't we just do one like next month?
Sorrell Scorpio (Sorrell Fang) is offline.
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I'd prefer to save it for our anniversary. People may not want to do it twice in a year
Raffila Millgrove: I am sure we have enough people to throw down a poetry read next month?
Eliza Madrigal: it does take a little while for people to write things, and be talked into participating :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Yes
Raffila Millgrove: good greif i been in a group where we did one every week.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): If you would like to organize it, that would be great Raffi
Raffila Millgrove: my husband goes to 3 a week somestimes real life.
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes, Raffi, organize a mid summer poetry read :)
Raffila Millgrove: Aph, the only reason why I don't want to organize is that i have no credibility in this group. I can't get them.. going. i am wrong person for it.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Usually we have got about 8 people reading
Raffila Millgrove: I am very serious about this. i am not being funny. i can't do it.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): You have credibility Raffi
Raffila Millgrove: When i asked for questions. just recent. send in some question. i got only Eliza politely offering one nice question. that's it.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I cant do it for a while- I'm busy with my thesis defense
Raffila Millgrove: and anyone could have sent in a question. it didn't have to be about book or.. about being member of that group, and no one responded.
Raffila Millgrove: ok. well if you are doing something that important.. that is very serious stuff.. so we don't have to be pressuing you on it.. for sure.
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): it takes a lot of prodding and patience :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I find that I leave reading the reading until the last minute so would not have time to compose a question.
Raffila Millgrove: it's just good you even take time to by with us.. if you are... doing something that BIG. that's big.
iSkye Silverweb is offline.
Ari (Arisia Vita) is offline.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Nods- I'd prefer to do that around our anniversary in the spring
Raffila Millgrove: ok well we will not butt in then... doing one ahead of time then.
Raffila Millgrove: if that is your preference and you are organizing.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): after I've submitted my exhibition in the fall of 2017
Eliza Madrigal: " a guardian is a guardian no matter how small " re credibility
Eliza Madrigal: (no one is lacking, IOW)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I would really like to get Storm involved in the theatre piece
Marianne McCann is offline.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): he can mentor others
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): does Storm still want to participate?
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I think he might be tempted for the 10th anniversary
Raffila Millgrove: I think Storm does and doesn't. i think he has conflicting feelings.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Have you spoken to him about this RAffi?
Raffila Millgrove: not about this. not about the theater.. about PAB in general.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): ah
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): He really got involved for our 5th anniversary- amazing
Raffila Millgrove: you maybe would be.... as you think.. lucky that he would like to do it.. for 10th. he might be tempted. it is worth trying for sure.
Raffila Millgrove: as he did love i and did so good at the 5th.
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): remembers flying carpets and Italian fountains
Eliza Madrigal: don't want to speak for storm but would definitely like to ask him... feel it takes a bit of commitment
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): why dont you ask him Eliza?
Eliza Madrigal: if we ask him we should have a good idea of interest and willingness to be involved
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): his pieces were great too ... he did most of the work on them ... takes a big effort
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): yes
Eliza Madrigal: I would, with that
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): but he was passionate
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): and ended up doing more than we asked
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): even made a treasure hunt
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): where we won crowns he designed
Eliza Madrigal: that was overflow
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): loved his treasure hunts ... fun to see guardians scurrying about looking for crowns :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): see my crown?
Eliza Madrigal: it was :) it all was
Raffila Millgrove: oops please excuse.. hour is up and must run. i remember those crowns.
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): take care Raffi
Eliza Madrigal: bye Raffi :) tc
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): waves
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): byee
Riddle Sideways: by
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): It's more of a tiara...
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): :)
Riddle Sideways: :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): How about if I compose something in an email and run it by you Eliza? Bleu? RIddle?
Eliza Madrigal: for the group?
Riddle Sideways: ok
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): yes- to kick off discussion
Bleu (Bleu Oleander): sure
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): get people thinking
Eliza Madrigal: great
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): prime the pot
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): then when we meet in August we may have something to discuss regarding the event
Eliza Madrigal: wonderful, Aph, thank you
Riddle Sideways: and tell others that we had a Really silly session
Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): and get people committed to one or another activity
