Hey Fellas,
So our first deadline of posting a bunch of article/design ideas by August has fizzled out to, well, one (thanks bash). I know everyone was busy, and seeing as how we have no clients, it really doesn't mean much to miss it, Yay! We do need to start posting and getting our creative juices flowing though, and most importantly we need to create some content. Saying that, here are my two possible proposals to start work on asap:
Cholls has a table we can flip and design with some kind of groupone2 styling which we could then photograph and try to make more like it. Beerpong tables, coffee tables, and other junk like that we could easily flip and sell to college kids or just keep for ourselves. The benefit is that we are actually creating things. Anyone who's interested let me know, im planning on checking out the table some time this weekend.
Another possibility is my brother...ironic i know but hear me out. My brother and his friend make glass under the name Euphoric Glass. He's also in a band called The Lamping Shades. Him and 3 of his friends are trying to create a brand which would sell tshirts, glass, and other stuff around the wilmington area, kind of like a local "lifestyle" brand. It sounds a little crazy but they need a bit of intro leadership...perfect for a crap load of consultants like us. It would be as simple as tracking down materials/printing places in wilmington/pricing and so on... We couldn't charge them that much but its some entry level research and consulting which could look really good for us. And considering my bro and his friends are very "green" to say the least, it fits under the GO2 name pretty well. Let me know what everyone thinks.

Yo business partners,
As far as expanding our content... we do need to get on that asap and I know that we all work better under pressure, appointments, and deadlines than any other conditions. That being said, lets set a date to work on Cholls's table like an up-coming Saturday. If we don't just do it, it won't get done.
As far as work for little Tuorto, I like that idea alot. It would be easy work and would allow us the opportunity to get used to dealing with suppliers and such. If I understand this right (at least the T-shirt part of it), we would be doing what Threadless.com does. They take designs submitted from members (us and Chris's friends in this case) and are essentially middle men buying blank T-shirts from suppliers and offering a finished product with an original design on a name brand shirt. If you look on the website, often more than one brand of shirt is offered for each design for fit and style options. Minus a website and pulling in a screen printer, that's totally what we want.
Bash
I'm down for any saturday in August. Will actually be in Cary for the rest of August. So I will be glad to help out on whatever we need to do. I mean that table should take a weekend to a week at max depending how serious we get into it.
Atleast we should all meet up and talk again sometime in august. If we aren't getting content out, then we atleast need to be talking as a group once a month, just to keep the juice flowing. don't want this thing to die now do we.
