[FRIAM] my first post: things I'd like to suggest and initiate: Rich Murray 505-501-2298 2008.03.31

[Roy Wroth]

Rich:

I'm going to jump in here with my reactions to what I think fits at 
sfComplex.  I'm just one guy, and I'm relying on the idea that a pattern 
will emerge from all of us.


The things I think are a good fit are:

warm, easy, welcoming, social atmosphere
world Net democracy
novel astrophysics in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field
Fresh art gallery, especially on the walls



The things I don't think fit are

coffee shop/wifi open to the general public
mirror, desk, couch, donation jar
collaborative meditative explorations, vegan diet and toxins de jour
Eckhart Tolle webcast
Dance night


I'm happy to share my reasoning on this, but for now will leave it open to other people's comments.  I'd also like to see if Friam list serve is the right place for the discussion.
