yay!

to actually meet the mythical Orchard fellow, he of the garlic fries quote.

that sounds cool.

Anne's place isn't available this week on Friday, so in honor of the newly christened Donut Town, I'll offer up mine.

??? More about Donut Town ???

I RUN DONUT TOWN. (billmerrill even made a graphic)

ah, ah. Here I was worried about competitors to your True Supplier. OK. Yay!

out of town Thurs and Fri; hoping lmorchard makes the Oldest µcoworking on Weds.

still having a hard time with pseudocoworking at SPARK. y'all can have it, the world is big enough for all of us

it's ok, bkerr - we're experimenting to see if we can infect them, virus-like. Scary business. They're like antibodies in ties.

nobody told me they put antibodies in ties. So they're *not* just ritualized weapons, but functional biochemical toolkits, huh? Will wear!

oh, yes, I see.

awesome - biochemical warfare ties! I see a business idea! If we can just get 1% of the market, we'll be rich!

that'll be $25,000

-$25,000

well, it gets paid to someone, right? make your check out to _________ ______

no, actually, it's -$25000 all around. We can share, or we can go in on one idea of our own, but this zero-sum mindset is way too archaic.

at this brave new world where you can lose money without anybody else getting any. That right there is the new economy.

nope

negative-sum games

person to the left of the youngest player begins

everybody places an undisclosed amount in the Ideation Envelope, and slides it across the board toward the Banker

the Banker checks the contents of each envelope, and if the total Ideation is less than $25000, asks for Second Round Angel Funding

BINGO. I HAVE BINGO.

when the Ideation Fund exceeds $25000, the Banker deals the Ideation envelopes to the players, largest to the youngest player and so on

the players burn the Ideation envelopes

continue, with the next player to the left becoming Banker in each round

first player to question the necessity of the game, or first player to refuse to be Banker, wins

apologizes. She was playing a different game of chance.

[wait for it] if everybody agrees to play a Different Game, all players win that round

go sit in a Different Chair <3

pattern number two hundred fuckin whatever, it's awesome
