joy

i want to thank everyone here and anyone not here so much so so so much for going to the cafe and talking/commenting/giving ideas - it means a lot to me and i just feel really really glad about how it's turned out. and it could never have been done without you.

i'm not sure if i want to put a similar but worded differently list in the cafe but here it is for anyone to see anyway:

A Quieter Place - records after one week

Customers (in order of appearance, and ignoring the fact that some characters that come from the same person):

customer #1! [honourary status XD]
An old man
A kid in a suit
a stranger
Passerby
misanthropic cynic
Girl in baby pink dress
girl with ankle tattoo
(there are more that have come but it was after friday)

An interesting note: I had a game for myself where i would read the person's tag and guess who it really was, then check with the IP address. Sometimes i got it correct and sometimes i got it wrong and sometimes i had no idea who it was XDD I'd like to give A kid in a suit a random award for being the hardest character to identify so far XD

Songlist:

Videotape by Radiohead
Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
Drops of Jupiter by Train
Bubbly by Colbie Caillat

Note: Drops of Jupiter has yet to be played. I have yet to write a post that fits it... cause yeah i write it first and then get the music. the latest one about micheal needed a largely acoustic song and Bubbly was sorta, so it got to jump queue XD sorry kylie

Places nearby:

a tattoo parlour. or a chocolaterie. or an ice-creamerie
suit store
bookstore
florist

These places were either suggested or mentioned in the conversations held so far. i'm going to try and incorporate these into a post eventually - it's a real cafe on a real street with shops after all XD

Ideas for activities:

poetry slam - put results on notice board
a newspaper article of intellectual discussion

Still much in progress.

Oh and i need to figure out the currency. should i just use generic dollars or should i come up with a different system completely? like give them credit and they earn credit by posting more. but i don't want to oblige people to post so no i don't want that. hmm...

or everything could be free? but nah not fun XD

anyway, opening this cafe has been really fun. a little busy after a while, but mm it's worth it XD thanks to all of you for your wonderful ideas and participation yep =)
