Welcome to our new google account. This account should be used to share ideas and communicate with each other while we are in our respective cities this summer. Regardless of the competition I would really like to keep up with what everybody is doing this summer. Studios, vacations, family engagements, whatever. I'm not very good at keeping up with people on the phone, so this could be a nice way to follow everyone's paths leading up to the fall when we will be in close coordinates again. I also set up a google group, but I thought the blog would be fun so that we could each add it to our own Google Readers and receive the RSS feed from it. I don't know about everyone else but I have gotten pretty used to my reader, and i think it would be fun to add our group blog to my list of daily news feeds. Let's see how this works for the first week or so, and if we don't like it then we can try something else.
With that said, I have posted a few links for us to start the discussion: 1) The WPA 2.0 contest announcement and 2) The winners of the ACSA Green Communities competition to get an idea of what the student bar is set at right now with regards to competition entries. I have emailed the ACSA requesting full size PDFs of these winners and am waiting on a response.
Lastly, I would like to say that if we do follow through on this, I am confidant we will make a pretty kick ass entry. I think we all bring something very different to the table, and I have been waiting to work on something with this group for a while now. Also if you guys aren't as excited about this, just humor me or tell me to put the brakes on. I didn't mean to suck everyone into a competition that they weren't all that excited about. I know we all need a break from the last year of school, so don't hesitate to tell me to relax.
