So
we had our second Xion Milwaukee meeting and we were outdone by a special
Thursday night Packers Game.
Although
the turnout was small, the artist came ready and willing to participate in
discussion and a rather amusing arts challenge.
I
placed four different challenges into a cup and artist Jason Lewis drew out what I thought
was one of the easiest of challenges: The artist had to draw an organ and writers create
puns about the organ. Well needless to
say the artist hemmed and hawed but came up with some interesting concepts.
The
writers myself included had an awesome time trying to find the words to match
some awesome creations. Writer/Performance
Poet Dasha Kelly stopped by and gave a whole new meaning to the “Middle Passage”
Although
no one was excited about their results, I think everyone appreciated the
opportunity to create on the fly and have others respond in a fun and
supportive way. I suggested that they take their organ drawings and turn them
into super heroes. I hope they bring them to our next meeting.
Join me in Chicago as I return the favor to
fellow Xion Manager Joe Currie and support his launch.The Xion Chicago launch
takes place this coming Saturday, September 29 from 6:00-9:00 PM at Third Coast Comics 6234
N. Broadway, Chicago, Illinois 60660. If you are interested in expanding
your network to include other cities, Xion Chicago is a great place to start.
Just don’t mention the spanking they got from the Pack when you get there.
Xion
Milwaukee will host its next meeting on Thursday, October 18 at 6:30 in the
Open MiKE Space in the Grand Avenue Mall. Remember Street Parking is free after
6:00 PM.
I
hope to see you there
Dee
