David, that is very good.
I am interested in the nitty gritty, as exposed in my second blogpost, Brainstorm 2.
The length of the debates is an important issue, as is the plasticity of whatever structure we decide on . Also, a “shouting match about say, the merits of Duchamp” sounds like an awesome idea, this should be one of the topics, verbatim.
The essay thing is a good idea, or we could use a recent show in Chelsea or some museum as a jumping off point.
The blog right now is just for us, if there was ever the suggestion that other people were looking at it we’d have to do a serious job with the graphics, typography, etc., as I think you expressed yourself under “winning friends and influencing people.” For this task I believe the best we can do is start a real website, maybe co-hosted on one of our own personal site servers. (I do not have a website right now)
As with any club or society, it is important for there to be a semi-private list of people’s names with no specific title, so that if discovered it cannot be determined whether these are the ins or the outs. Therefor I think it prudent to begin such a list, and allow you to jump to the appropriate conclusions.
