Another terribly efficient and productive meeting was thrown down at Quetzal Cafe last night. Here's some notes on what transpired:

Dollhouse Monsters prepare to attack Tedda Hughes Gallery

• Big thanks to Stella for the Dollhouse Monsters show flier. Share with everyone you invite.
  
• Stella reviewed the artist's contract that all participating members need to submit to Tedda
• If you can't attend the hanging on Sunday, Oct 18, 5 - 7 p.m., make sure you hand off your works and hanging instructions to an attending member before then.
• All participating artists need to attend the opening reception on Saturday, Oct 24, 7 - 10 p.m.
  
• Artwork updates: Norma will be showing and shared drafts of her "crowvacado" pieces in progress. Flannery showed her work (almost done!) and magnet packaging.
• Magnets will be sold for $2 each, $5 for 3, or $7 for 4.
  
• Stella will be contacting Tedda regarding the following, lingering questions about the show:

• Double checking for approval of on our magnet sales
• Does she have any special hanging instructions?
• What tools/hardware does she supply?
• Will she provide the labels for the pieces?
• When would she like us to take down? (Sun. 11/15 would be 4 weeks)

• We coordinated wine & appetizer duties as follows:
  

• Flannery - witches fingers (they're creepy!), 1 wine
• Stella - snacks! perhaps another creepy sweet, fruit, cheese
• Marina - 2 wine, 2 nonbooze
• Norma - 2 wine, 2 nonbooze
• All other participating artists are obligated to bring the equivalent of 1 wine and 1 nonbooze according to Tedda's contract. Anyone's welcome to bring munchies.

• We coordinated publicity as follows:

• Indivual members will email the flier and personalized invitation to friends and fans
• Flannery will write a little press release for funcheap.
• Marina will post our event with laughing squid, SF plant trees
• Stella will post on Craigslist and send out Facebook invitation
• Norma will post with artkrush

What's the next step in becoming a nonprofit?

• We need to obtain an EIN number, which is basically a social security number for biznesses. Stella will look into making this happen by October 27.
  
• We then need to fill out a "10-23" form to become formal nonprofit (This costs like $300 so it was suggested that we throw a fundraiser.)

How 'bout this blog?

• Are you a follower? Create a blog profile and post your profile pic.
• WAM now owns a website template, but until we get that up and running, let's store our info and spiffy photos right here in blogland.

• Stella will post the InGen WAM article to the blog
• Flannery will post the WAM brochure on the blog. You can download it from here.
