4. 1. INNOVATIVE, INTERESTING AND RISK TAKING PEOPLE. 2. TO SAMPLE NEW LOCALES, ACTIVITIES AND IDEAS 3. EACH TRIP SHOULD LEAVE THOSE THAT PARTICIPATE BETTER OFF (PHYSICALLY, INTELLECTUALLY, CREATIVELY OR SOCIALLY) THAN WHEN THE TRIP BEGAN 4. EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEMSELVES AND THOSE THEY BRING
6. WE HAVE TO GO TO A NON-LA CITY WHERE NONE OF US KNOW ANYONE.
7. WE DO THIS ON A WEEKEND, AND SHOW UP AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE (EX THURSDAY NIGHT). THE PRIMARY GOAL IS TO THROW A PARTY THAT SATURDAY NIGHT.
8. RIGHT BEFORE LEAVING WE DETERMINE AN ARBITRARY NUMBER (ROLL OF A DICE FOR EXAMPLE) OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO INVITE. WE NEED TO INVITE EXACTLY THAT MANY PEOPLE, PERIOD.
9. INVITATIONS CAN HAPPEN OVER ANY MEDIUM - CRAIGSLIST, GROCERY STORES, TELEPHONE POLE POSTINGS, PAY-PHONE PHONE CALLS, ETC.
10. EACH PERSON NEEDS TO DETERMINE A TARGET FOR THE WEEKEND. EX. FIND A CEO AND TAKE HIM TO DINNER, ENGAGE A FEMALE NERD BLOGGER DJ AND HAVE HER DJ OUT PARTY.
11. EVERY HOUR, ONE OF US NEEDS TO DIAL A LOCAL RANDOM PHONE NUMBER, AND KEEP THIS PERSON ON THE PHONE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
12. WE WILL NEED TO FUND THIS PARTY. EACH OF SHOULD BRING X NUMBER OF THINGS WITH US (SEE ABOVE # MAYBE?) AND SELL THESE THINGS TO STRANGERS.
13. ANY TIME ONE OF US SEES A PERSON _____ (EX. WEARING GREEN, WITH A PONYTAIL) YOU ARE REQUIRED TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND TELL YOUR STORY (WHICH WILL LIKELY BE MADE-UP).
14. INITIATIVES CULMINATE IN THE SHOOTING OF A CALENDAR OF SOME THEME (LIKELY, STRANGENESS). IN OTHER WORDS, A TSI WEEKEND HAS A DELIVERABLE.
