### Facebook
- Main point: People will see our posts on the timelines of everyone who has Liked us
### [SolSeedSong](/SolSeedSong)
- Shelley: I like the idea of leaving some things opaque so the listener will think about it more
- Verse 2:
- Brandon: Consider "kin" instead of "tribe"
- Eric: Could use dancing as a metaphor in verse 2, connecting to tribal imagery
- Also, hunt them and gather them together? (could sound too primitivist)
- Brandon: Consider getting rid of some words?
- Shelley: Make sure to tell John and Will that we're open to them modifying the lyrics to make it work better with rhythm, melody etc
- Brandon: Also, ask them to make it simple enough to be easily singable
- Release event?
- Find out if we'll have rights to do things like share the audio to our Facebook fans
### Solstice
- Friday, December 21st
- Rocket launching
- Eric will use kits from Estes (3-stage firework engine sold separately)
- Rockets are reusable: third stage releases a parachute
- Brandon recommends homemade Puck Rockets (demo'd at this year's Portland Mini Maker Faire)
- They don't even have parachutes; they're so light that they come down slowly anyway
- How many rockets?
- Eric will get about 20
- Brandon is thinking 20-30
- Eric found that launching rockets at night isn't that cool, but it might depend on how much city light there is
- Launch between 4 and 5 PM, so people don't have to leave work too early?
- Just do it on Saturday?
- Shelley wants to do a big sit-down dinner
- How to include the service?
- Probably just us, as usual
- Invite (fairly) widely just for the rocket launching
### Evaluation
- Shelley ... I really like the song that Ben wrote
- Brandon ... ditto and I'm really excited about getting to 1000 Facebook likes
- Ben ... I'm really glad that people like what I write
- Eric ... I'm excited about having a song so that we actually ... there is something I like about gospel churches and I think it would be great to have some actual singing in our service
