"maybe if we had a prodution collective responsible for optimizing teh
commons for events, we could get more for them ;)"

YOU ARE A GENIUS.

*If anyone wants to start an events collective for the Omni, CONTACT ME! *

We need, at the very least, an execution staff to make events happen. I can
coordinate and promote it alone, but I can't run security,take cash, set up
tables, make sure artists have everything they need, set up audio/video,
etc. myself because I haven't developed cloning technology yet, but SOON!

We had a good discussion at last night's meeting and I'm currently picking
a date and coordinating with artists. I'll be at the next Omni meeting to
discuss getting everyone involved!
