A Siem Reap workshop I hosted happened because of… twitter.

It went like this:

‘I have an idea.’

‘What’s your idea?’

‘Let’s meet up and talk, first.’ [Thinking: I’ll probably invent something on the spot, if we do]

‘Oh-kay….’

‘…’

‘…’

***

‘Hi.’

‘Hi, so what’s your idea?’

‘A conversation salon. A conversation installation, I like to think of it…’

‘A what? You have to be more specific about that, I think.’

‘…’

‘I mean, what is it?’

‘…’

‘What, though?’

*

‘We did a lot!’

‘…’

‘I see what you mean about how it’s not just a meet up.’

‘Cool. Maybe I’ll keep going with this.’

‘You should.’

‘I will, then.’
