Brain Jam and Google groups

Well, aside from having the song sweet dreams stuck in my head for the past month, the name appears to have stuck, so Street Dreams is who we are.

Our email correspondence is getting a bit messy though, things getting lost, half responses, hijackings, drive-bys… so today I’ve got all nerdy techy smarts and signed up a Google Group account. Its pretty neat, because you only have to email one address and it pings out to everyone in the group, plus you can upload versions of pages and have everyone work on them. Yeeeeaahhhh.. nerdy cool.

Anyway, all this nerdy-ness has resulted in our first public group meeting we like to call Brain Jam. Its like an art jam, but with your brain. Its a cured jam made from brains. Its us running around naked shouting the sky is falling. AND, its getting lots of local street art & graffiti heads together in the one room to ask what they’d like to see in the festival.

To get artists excited, you generally need more than words. So we’ve chained Ankle up to his kitchen sink and got him to make up a batch of real life Brain Jam to put in jars and send out as invites.

Hopefully in the next few days I’ll be able to show his handy work.

Si.
