SV: evolving agendas

Sun Feb 19 07:39:55 PST 2006

HI,

At The devoted and disgruntled event i did in january for th theatre  
community at the end of the first day i said that we were keeping the  
space open overnight. I thought that I wanted people to keep  
percolating on stuff in the pub.. in their dreams etc.. over into the  
next day..

I later had to clarify that we were not keeping the  "National Youth  
Theatre rehearsal Space" open so people couldn't sleep there  
overnight!!!

I also think that doing the whole agenda on the first day contributed  
to people committing to the whole two day event and coming back on  
their precious Sunday.
