the art of living experimentally

I think it was Buckminster Fuller who wrote that there is no such thing as a failed experiment.  Only and experiment with unexpected results.

Its surprisingly scientific to be thinking of living experimentally.  But also deeply artistic.  In my book anyway.

Its investigative and exciting. And it has a no failure rate.  Just unexpected results.

I am planning my Summer Salad Supper Club.  And quite frankly i have no idea how to run a supper club.  Without it costing me money at least.  Venue.  Well that's the first sticky point.  And is it some sort of public event. Or should I invite folk I think would like to come as if it were some kind of party.  Its at this point that I wish my home was a venue.  So that i could at least experiment cheaply. 

But I like the idea of running as an experiment.  Try this and see what happens.  Am thinking out write.  Not out loud as am in the shop.  I could run it on July 3rd.  in my house.  as Hub and Bub are away, my house could be free and my own for this time and I could use it as a venue. 

Or where? I would like it to be somewhere like a studio.  But i have no studio space.  And who would I invite? I guess I should make it semi public. Otherwise it is just a party. 

And there i am vereing off into other territory.

The art of living experimentally.  OR is that it.  Just try and see.  And track what happens?  its pretty damn simple really isn't it.

The trick is to instigate interesting experiments.

I am trying being a host at likemind.  I wonder how this will work and what will happen! 

I will let you know. 

Supper Club? Summer Salad manifesto? Its an experiment.  I will keep you posted.  Navasana by attempting to do it everyday  (using my sticker chart to mark my progress?  or something slightly more scientific?

I will let you know how it goes!
