<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>james, james, james,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>mister, are we ready for mixed bag?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>but for now, probably not...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>although i think we will always hope to be "brut,"
we are not polished "brut" yet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>once we all agree upon the mission we will be able
to better access how to comprise the board.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>at the moment, which is <U>absolutely
unpublishable</U>, right! we begin with:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>gordon stewart: brilliant early
thing participant and previous presidential speech writer and theatre
director</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>martin lui: the previous board director of white
box</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>shamin momin: director of whitney- philip
morris.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>within the next week we hope to secure an
additional two others who are currently in cultivation mode. our short list
includes previous members and others, but you can imagine that it is like
re-casting The Usual Suspects...Benecio del Toro's mumble does not
work unless Pete Postelwaite is such a douch. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>so you see, again, the thingist, itself is
hopefully our first tool to move in all directions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>with the current players...who to cast? funding
(here and abroad), pr, intellect, academic, insider, artist attitude...all,
what etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>joy, joy and horror and then perhaps hoy
again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>arfus.</FONT></DIV>
