Hey everyone, I'll start!

Not sure how much I should say about this... I'm going to go with letting it do the talking.

Telephone?
Hey, Pollinators!
So, nobody's posted their "mission statement" yet--I'm as guilty as the rest of you--but even without a stated missions...does anyone want to play telephone?
Here's the cool example I mentioned during our last meeting.
I know people are worried about time commitments, deadlines, and other logistical issues, so here are two thoughts on how the nuts n' bolts of this game could literally work:
1. 24 hour turnaround. We commit to a week--maybe, like, a soon-week, because maybe things are slightly less crazy at the beginning of the semester. We come up with an order in advance, so that you know in advance what 24 hour period you'll be working in. Whoever goes first posts their "Day 1" submission on this blog. The second person then has 24 hours to post their response on this blog. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
2. Same system, but with 3-day (or longer) turnaround. Well, maybe not much longer, but perhaps it would be less scary, time-management-wise, to work in a looser time frame?
Other ideas are welcome! And of course, if no one's interested, we don't have to do this at all, and we can still state our missions and have fun parties where we scribble our signs and symbols on the walls with ecstatic abandon. My feeling, though, is that the best (if not only) way to get really excited about this whole cross-pollination project is to dive in and actually do something--and that from that doing-something shall spring the Centaur-like creations that will make for a fucking awesome show.
