THE ART OF BROWNSVILLE - COMMENTS

Hi Hi.
Gots some anticipation...tommorrow I will be holding a pizza gathering at my place with some friends to talk about the Brownsville ArtsReach proposal. I figure since the program is now approved and Frank and I have way to make thinsg happen, the most important thing is to build a strong circle of influence. Besides building connections with Brownsville and UT administration, I think it is also important to build connections within our friend network, so that we can build a circle of support as well. The friends who will be coming will have some sort of connection to Brownsville, the arts or policy. So far it will be a Brownsville PR major at UT-San Antonio, a Brownsville Radio-TV-Film major at UT-Austin, a law school grad, a LBJ school of policy grad student who worked in the Valley, 2 Brownsville art students and a Brownsville music major at Texas State-San Marcos. Also, I am in luck, Papa John's has a buy one get one free pizza special. YAY!

I tried to explain a bit about my program to my friend Julia who is a law school grad. I gave her a copy of the proposal for some advice. I am a bit nervous that questions about purpose, goals, implementation came up. The logistics need to be set and the meeting will be very subjective tommorrow since we don't have many details set as of yet. I hope by the end of this month, we have objectives, an agenda and schedule and some contacts set.

Oh also, I am going to add this link to the Brownsville Herald Events Calender. It's a good resource for events in Brownsville.
