have the talent.

the adjacent

possible

“…a kind of shadow future, hovering

on the edges of the present state of

things, a map of all the ways in

which the present can reinvent

itself.”

-Steven Johnson

“…the intelligence and the intuition

of a whole cultural scene. It is the

communal form of the concept of

the genius.”

-Brian Eno

mutual appreciation

rapid exchange of

tools and techniques

network effects of

success

local tolerance for

novelties

we are ready.

stay focused on the long

game.

never say ‘no’

to a gig.

keep it going.
