The talking-city stream has an "action item" after each piece (a gallery opening nxt week; "remind you?"; a take-
out pizza place; "order something?"; Bk review: "buy it"; concert: "tickets"; party; "tell yr friends?"). A question
you asked John Brockman about proposed software--why do I want to be in this virtual world? Why do I want
to go there? When you turn away fro this city-stream, you feel like yr missing something.
Software to be built by 2 people (one is a first-rate local freelancer). I have a perfect editoress in mind: Yale sr,
worked at Vogue last summer, runs her own campus mag, art major, completely connected, v small goodlooking
blonde.

(Curse of my life; but at least it's funny.)
