"You say you've never been to Paris--" i really need this song that starts at 1:52, but besides all that, here's a bit of an update on what's going on with the metachat show idear.[More:]
i've been waylaid my physical problems and since no one has had any information (or interest?) on places and actual locations, i'm taking the obvious logical step to say i'm pretty sure i'm not gonna be doing the final scout and acquisition of a space in June.
But in the meanwhile, why don't we use metacats for the online parts. That way we have a nice separation of church and state, or civility and commerce.

Peoples got zines to sell! Buttons and doodlie doos, knick knaks and fuzzy whatits, charities and funds, etc. and they're cats we know.
What if we had cat only avatars so it always looked like it was run by our cats. Will this cause pet division? Your animal representative doesn't have to be a cat, but the cool cats run the joint.
Shops are nicer with a cat called Smitty at the register.
Also, we could have a big swap pile. Pay the shipping and it's yours.

So everyone have a think about that.

i personally will be working on some hopefully largish painting of human crap and will man the human talent stable if you like. And people who'll take commissions. Willing editors, too.
Email me with what you got titled with "Let's Put ON A Show!" and i'll keep track and clean the desk. Even make coffee if i'd be doing it anyway. People who have expressed interest might get mail.
There might be door prizes.

i'd say more but i feel so randomly chatty, and tired.

What you would buy with a thousand dollars?
Okay, I was going to let you know, if you have an account with my registrar, namecheap.com (free set up, US$9.29/year for .com), I can transfer any of my domains to you for no charge. Metacats.com does expire on the 29th; maybe I'll pay for the next year first as my contribution to whatever is going on.

Also, divabat can use this to get drinksyourmilkshake.com (I should be emailing, shouldn't I? But every time I use email, there's a big kurfuffle.) and I'll be offering up more names just as soon as I can pry them from my cold dead hands.

If this is your way you'd use a thousand dollars just on domain names, we have to have an intervention.

If I had a thousand dollars eh? Hmmmm. Actually, I know what I'd do with a free thousand bucks. I'd buy the lumber I need for the treehouse-y thing I wanna build in the back. For my girls. Honest. It's for them.

As for the collective, I dunno how/what I could contribute. I've got a painting or two on the go out in the garage studio, but I don't think either is really done. Nor do I know how to know. Maybe I could dig up someplace to offer prints of some of my less kid-centric photos?

Anyway, yeah.

Ethylene, I'm definitely interested.
I just finished my Ophelia Project last night. I do intend to tone down the signature bits at the bottom. Was just happy to be done. That crazy chick was a 3-year project. I have a lot of smallish things I should scan that might help out.

Also, before I entered my mom incarnation a decade ago, I was a technical writer/editor. I'm happy to spend free time on projects this summer. I'm getting married on June 7th, so my schedule is covered up with that until it's done.

Let me know. I love the "Let's put on a show!" vibe.
