Friends House Notes

Tim Claque
1. Volunteer - get involved
2. Circles - approaching creative tasks more creatively
3. Beachcombing - always be on the look out for interesting ideas, keep them together somewhere, play around with it how does the idea fit in your own world, don't force it, talk bout it then use it & pass it on.
4. No one comes from nowhere - media likes to portray the fact that you can come from nowhere & become famous, got to be working hard all the time
5. Put everything into everything - life is not a meritocracy, put your best into everything you do
6. Don't wait to be invited to the dance - have to do a lot yourselves to get stuff done, do what you want your own way
7. The day after you finish what do you do -
