I have sent a version of this email to people who have communicated solid intent. If you **recieved** an email from me, you are all set! If not, read the below and SEND ME A MESSAGE letting me know how you want to participate!

Howdy Conclave Folks! Read to the bottom to find out the MEETING TIME. (Okay, it's this Monday at SpinJam.)
Looking at the positively committed people, I'm so thrilled at what an awesome group of people we have, coming from all over the world. WildFire and the openness of the Boston scene really has created a dispersed and beautiful global community of interconnected awesomeness.
That said, it causes a problem of organization. We have a great core of about 12 people who live in the Boston area and can manage to come together to get some choreography and a video made. I'd like to make that happen ASAP, starting with these local folks, because the other 12 performers who DON'T live in Boston (like Rovo, Jen Steele, Kali, Wish, and others) are awesome and we want to be with them in the circle... but they won't be here to help before the Deadline.
Deadline for Video: June 30. That means a video of us doing some of our choreography and a lot of good spinning, filmed and edited together. By me, I guess, unless someone else wants to edit video. :)
My vision for this year's Conclave focuses some on PARTNER dynamics, some on big group spinning choreography, and a whole lot on having a good time and not stressing ourselves out. I'd like to get the basics of what we're going to WORK ON FOR FILMING figured out immediately - which means starting this MONDAY, JUNE 2.
We'll be meeting at the BU SPIN JAM space, Monday, June 2, @ 8:00. I'd like to sit aside after folks have had a chance to spin and chat, and work out a plan of action. We have LESS THAN TWO WEEKS before WildFire, and I know how busy everyone is. Let's get some basics set, schedule times for breakout groups to practice, a meeting for one walkthrough, and a few filming dates. I'd like to have some footage shot before WildFire, and some after.
ACTION ITEMS:
1) if you're in town, please come to SPIN JAM (call me if you don't know where it is)
2) if you're out of town, relax and know that we'll get it taken care of - just email me and tell me you're still in
3) bring your ideas and your enthusiasm for a few weeks!
Email or call with any questions or concerns... Love you all!
-JT
P.S.: You lovely safeties... you're off the hook for over a month, after which point we'll run a few safety trainings and have you guys show up to help with the live fire practices. Thanks!

Re: Boston Conclave: MEETING THIS MONDAY
Mon, June 2, 2008 - 7:35 PMThanks to everyone who showed up tonight! It was a great meeting, and I think we're poised to burst energy and action in preparation for the film production deadline!
Anyone reading this who is STILL INTERESTED in Boston Conclave, but hasn't said anything... send me a note, or post here! I am taking the hardcore prep discussion to email (so as to catch EVERYONE in a more consistent and real-time manner), but there's still time for you to get involved and contribute if you want to!
See y'all on email, and in person, and at WildFire, and...
