last meeting

Hey all,
Last meeting we used the reading to brainstorm ideas about our manifesto and decided that we might construct it as a dialogue, with each person writing in response to what others have said. I like that idea. I thought the Coffee Manifesto was a great example of an anti-manifesto that also managed to give some historical context to the revolutionary art movement. We also discussed and planned the Derive, which we carried out this morning and will report on next meeting. The next meeting is planned for Sunday Jan. 9th at 11 am. We'll read and discuss the Zapatista Manifesto, which I've linked to below, and some Zapatista influenced poetry that Kate will send out later.
