hehehe. i won’t really push you overboard.
but in case you forgot your homework, jeff has reminded you:
**** WHAT TO DO THIS WEEK *****
Contact people in your committee. Contact people in the committee you want to join. Research. Plan a fundraiser. Start to acquire things. Acquiring things now helps us figure out problems and helps us save
money. This week, for example, i got rope, tape, plastic bins, and contractor bags. Erica started collecting umbrellas for a canopy. If we start now we save later.
everyone is sending a’yen 3 names this week. here were some goodies and some sillies from our last brainstorm. jeff slipped in “the good ship impossible” at the end of his minutes.

1) A Salutary Dream
2) Meteor du Bioremediation
3) Mach Twain
4) Thirsty (ie. “oh her…she’s Thirsty”)
the ‘people’ it’s carrying: if anyone asks what we are… i think we should tell them we’re ticklish. (see what ensues) and what we are trying to do: find atlantis (and then of course explain in explicit detail exactly what that entails) and we’re going to need a navigator to navigate the space between dreaming and awake. oh and my favorite from the list of already existing names is: the good ship impossible. or junk finn�?
From the brainstorm:
floating disaster
sea monster
riff raft
the queen jalopy
