We can argue about names on the side. I think we need to focus on some
other stuff though. I think we need to start assigning people jobs
within the company so we all can have a research task and start
dividing up the work it's gonna take to figure out exactly how we're
gonna do this theater company thing.

So I think we should all put in ideas we think need to be
researched/looked into and then nominate people for those jobs. No one
has to accept a nomination and people can nominate themselves. I talked
with a few of you about this and this is what I've come up with for
starters. Okay, once again this is just me beginning an idea. Feel free
to change it up to fit what the company actually needs and I'm
overlooking

I think we need 2 artistic directors to kinda oversee things and help
where people need help. They can research theater company basic:
budgets, spaces, what a good starting season should be. Whatever comes
up. Or they can delegate projects out. They also have the final say on
things. Their names will be on the bank account and they will be the
ones authorized to sign checks. I orginally thought just one person
should have this job but I think it's going to end up being a really
big job that will take away from everything else. If one person had
this job they could never go out of town for the weekend, they would be
EXTREMELY overwhelmed if they were involved artistically in any show we
did, etc. If there's two, it will lighten the load and allow some
freedom. In my personal opinion I would like to see Gannon and Brenda
in these positions. I think they have very different oulooks and would
keep things balanced, but I trust them both implicitly and I know they
are both fair and diplomatic people who won't be bitchy and will do
their best to keep things pleasant, keep all individuals in the company
happy, as well as looking out for the well being of the company as a
business.

I think we need an financial person to balance the books, help write
budgets, research tax laws for businesses vs. non profits etc. etc.
Mike has alot of expirience with numbers when it comes to businesses.
He's been a manager at Pizza Hut (WHOO HOO) for years now and has been
dealing with all that shit for a long time. He's always been really
good at math and is extremely careful and detail oriented.

I think we need a team of grantwriters/fundraisers. Two. I would like
to do this. And I would like Kira to help (when she gets out of
school). .I just finished a workshop on grantwriting and I feel I
learned alot about both grant writing and fundraising. Plus this is
alot of what I am doing at the Vortex where I work. I think Kira is an
amazing writer and has a way of thinking outside the box which would be
helpful in fundraising. She's also extremely realistic. Plus she is
personable and really intelligent plus she goes to a fancy school that
probably learned her alot better than NMSU did me. I think this team
should be figuring out future grants we can apply for (we can't apply
until we are non profit) start researching the steps we need ot take to
become non-profit and figure out ways to fundraise until we get that
status.

Marketing. I think this person needs to brainstorm out of the box
marketing ideas. I think this is quite possibly THE most important
position. It could make or break us. I think we all need to put ideas
in this pot. But I think Felisa should head it up. She's friendly and
pretty and she has big boobs. She has alot of expirience in customer
service and is really smart and knows how to get people interested in
something. She's assertive and has a voice that is easy to listen to
over the phone or radio or whatever. I think the marketing person needs
to start researching prices for marketing materials, basic marketing
strategies, as well as new innovative strategies, begin figuring out
target media in Seattle, etc. etc. I think marketing will work very
closely with fundraising.

Okay, am I forgetting anyone or anything?

Oh, Sal. Sal I think is obviously technical director. I think technical
director needs to kinda research our technical costs for our first
show. Give us an estimate of what we're going to need to be buying and
what we're going to be renting. Help research spaces. All that techie
stuff. I don't know enough about it to even say what the fuck all you'd
be doing. I'm sure you have a better idea than me, Sal.

Obviously some of these jobs can start now. Some will have to happen
once we're in Seattle, some will have to happen when we know more about
our first show. This is just a rough idea.

Argue with me.

Any more input?

I get to be TD? Alright nothing like the one job where you can look at
a director/designer and ask if they're fucking high and not get in too
much trouble because that's your job.

I got a few questions but they can be dealt with much later so when we
get closer to that time I'll bring them up.
