The Witty People Club: Information Guide

WHAT IS THE WITTY PEOPLE CLUB?
The Witty People Club is a bi-monthly club run by Carlen Altman aimed at bringing funny, witty people together to get creative things done.

The goal of this club is to accomplish all the goals that we spend time talking about but never get the time to actually complete. Although there are many realms of "wittiness", the focus of
The Witty People Club is on creating WITTY SHORT VIDEOS/WITTY LIVE PERFORMANCES/WITTY EXHIBITIONS of our Witty Work.

Witty is defined as: Unusual, Memorable, often times Politically Incorrect...but aimed to entertain, not to shock...

Inaugural Members of the Witty People Club:
Carlen Altman
Peggy Wang
Derek Mabra
Brendan Donnelly
Lena Dunham
Matt Schneider
Sarah Herse
Ben Schechter
and Suzanne Friedman.

GOALS OF THE WITTY PEOPLE CLUB?
Goals of The Witty People Club are to:
-discuss ideas you have and get closer to turning those ideas into tangible creations
-work on witty videos together
-work on witty visual art stuff together (photo projects, drawing projects)
-work on witty fashion projects (tshirts, jewelry)
-work on witty music
-do witty fun trips
-talk about witty inventions
-accomplish your witty dreams

HOW DOES THE WITTY PEOPLE CLUB WORK?
Each member of The Witty People Club will work together to help each other accomplish their creative goals.

Each member has one goal they want to accomplish in the course of a month.
They can seek the help from other members of the club to actualize their goal.

In the Example of Video Creation:
If Member #1 wants to make a video and Member #2 can shoot it, Member #3 can edit it, and Member #4 can promote it on the web. By working together, 4 people have created work and accomplished something they wouldn't have been able to do by themselves.

WHAT ARE THE RULES OF THE WITTY PEOPLE CLUB?
You must come to the meeting with a specific goal you want to accomplish.
You must help your Witty People Club fellow-members with the witty projects they need help with in a timely fashion.
In exchange for your help, your Witty People Club fellow-members will help you with your own projects.

You must be willing to help other people with their creative witty endevours and exchange, they will help you with your witty endevours.

Because membership to this club is based on wittiness/cleverness/sense of humor, you will have fun working with the people you are working with, because they are all cool people, handpicked by your friend Carlen Altman.
