is this still alive?

I'd like to randomly post in here. To let each other know that we're still alive. And to at least have this thing keep going. It seemed like it was going to work but then our lack of support, faith, or whatever it is... simply killed it. So here's one post of:

HELLO!

yours truly,
eunice

article ideas

what kind of articles is this supposed to have? i've just been thinking along the lines of world events, politics or philosophy..

nd is the website fr fshbwl up yt?

schooooool

I dont know if this is going to inspire any ideas, but...

What if instead of going to school like we do now, we tell some "institution" what our intentions are, they give us certificates of study, like licenses to pursue different subjects, and then we update them on our progress along the way, and as we research further and become more of an authority in the field(s) of our choice, we are presented different certificates of achievement. Then we could learn and progress as an individual at our own pace. And we wouldnt have to wake up for 8 o'clock classes.... man...

idea list for means

So I figure that we need to start compiling a list of article ideas

I have started said list with the ideas I remember

Please if you have any ideas for articles, send them along to me

Send them in the format of a title, and a blurb explaining the direction

Also say if you would like to write the idea, or if its up for grabs

I will compile them and then later we can assign writers.editors.graphics

When we have a bigger list, we can start having weekly meetings with the editors and writers so that they articles get done sooner than last minute nonsense

so send away everybody

Urban Lessons from Disneyland

“To all who come to this happy place – welcome.” Walt Disney walked up to the podium, and with these words a new world was born.
Once entering the park, one passes under a bridge for the miniature Santa Fe Railroad, where a centrally placed plaque meets every guests' eye with the phrase, “Here you leave Today / And enter the world / Of Yesterday, Tomorrow / And Fantasy”. The effect of this entry sequence is phenomenal, as this passage opens onto a land removed from specific time or place. Yet, Main Street, U.S.A. is filled with recognizable architecture and institutions from years past. This place detaches its guests from reality, creating its own existence in the imaginations of its inhabitants. Most of all, however, it is the separation from the present that has the greatest contribution to the creation of a new reality.
Disneyland was conceived as an alternative to a movie studio as a tourist destination, and in that same instance works nearly the same. The stories that Disney is known for are created with the same basic principles of movie sets – false stages, floats, backdrops, facades, and the combination of timing with the power of illusion. In every corner of this park is the essence of stage presence.
The potential effect of this land was unknown at the time of its inception, but it has had an astonishing influence in the world of architecture and urban planning. Malls, communities, even entire cities are now being planned with the same ideas of narrative that Walt Disney and his team of Imagineers employed in the design of this fantasyland.

Well all, I think peeps should be all about this thing and post like crazy so we can do all sorts of stuff here. The two people who made the articles on friday need to post them so we will hope to see them up soon, so if you read this bug them to put it up until they do, then say yeah woooh good job.

Oh and even if it isn't articles, we should all be posting what we are doing for FISHBOWL at all times. Like next time, if there is a shop cafe esque project, it will be up here for all to know as well as emails i hope. At the same time, we want more ideas for things like that here too.

Any sort of idea at all people. Post it up and we can talk it over and stuff.

So pretty much post or die
figuratively that is
in the mind

ps somebody comment on my idea at the bottom so i can revise and stuff

DANA is still here

We will be unleashing DANA to the school coming this Monday

In rememberance of Dana Smith, who is leaving USC for his own architectural pursuits, we will be posting his face just about everywhere. He was one of our school's most valued staff and should be remembered because whether or not you knew him, he most definitely had a gigantic influence on you through the school.

We have a file of his face and will be printing them out in various sizes for distribution, wearing, and pasting on the walls. We were hoping to have some large plots to post up, masks which we could wear around, and small faces to put on everyone's desk and teacher's mailboxes.

We will all have to pull together to make this possible without spending money. I will distribute the file through email and we can all print out 50 or so small ones and a mask for yourself and maybe another mask to give to someone else. We can use clipper for plotting the larger ones. Since monday will be the first day without him, I feel this is a great time to show our support.

We will also be having a documentation team to start our records of our acts in and around the school. Giving as how this is the first of many, lets do it with style and a good attitude.

As well as all of the printouts, we will place a small blurb on the back of the prints and on the large plots saying we will all meet at a certain time, probably after studio monday to gather with prints and masks in rememberance of Dana. Hopefully we will gather a large group and take some amazing pictures for us, as well as to send to Dana to show our support.

If there are more ideas or questions, send them to milholla@usc.edu
