I am surrounded by cool people, and sitting down with them to ask reflective, long form questions, ferment discussions has this irresistible allure.

Plus, i am sick of the present condition whereby meta inc is the mediator between me and the arts and experiences that i seek, and i want to slowly build up something that a) is better, and b) gives zuck the finger.

I will start by doing an interview series, and from there hopefully grow into a local press/correspondent program, then try to build functionality that replaces instagram profile pages for local artists, after that grow enough traffic so people can seriously search here for shows and events instead of instagram, and finally, build an advocacy arm and a community owned governance structure.
