james, james, james,
mister, are we ready for mixed bag?
but for now, probably not...
although i think we will always hope to be "brut,"
we are not polished "brut" yet.
once we all agree upon the mission we will be able
to better access how to comprise the board.
at the moment, which is absolutely
unpublishable, right! we begin with:
gordon stewart: brilliant early
thing participant and previous presidential speech writer and theatre
director
martin lui: the previous board director of white
box
shamin momin: director of whitney- philip
morris.
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.
so you see, again, the thingist, itself is
hopefully our first tool to move in all directions.
with the current players...who to cast? funding
(here and abroad), pr, intellect, academic, insider, artist attitude...all,
what etc.
joy, joy and horror and then perhaps hoy
again.
arfus.

Names, cities, ages and areas of expertise of the "new board" please.
I want to make mention of the listserv's revival -- and Thing in general -- on
the newspaper-sanctioned blogspace I maintain at
blog.lehighvalleylive.com/mixed-bag.
