Pre pre pre kiwi party
Bee, Nancy & Irene walks in and out the classroom.
Bee: I’m not so crazy about this kiwi idea. I already spend too much time in front of my computer. With the school work AND figuring out… I am really not so sure…
Nancy: I hate computers....whine whine whine (Cleo improvises)
Irene: It's software based on the Web, you have to learn a few conventions, but it helps you solve a lot of different problems as a group and when including the public.
Janet + friends sings Rocky horror Let's do the time wharp again and moves outside the door and someone yells out months later.
Pre pre kiwi party
Bee, Arnie, Nancy, Irene and Thor walk in and out the classroom.
Arnie: Y'know, this technology thing sounds great, but the last time I tried to use a computer, it burned my toast badly.
Bev: I am DEFINITELY really interested because we could participate remotely in meetings in the evening and on weekends and holidays, also on lunch breaks and while showering, with the right equipment.
Nancy: Bev that is easy for you to say whine whine whine (Katherine improvises)
Janet + friends sings time wharp song and moves and someone yells out years later.
Pre kiwi party
Irene, Thor, Bee stand at the door.
Irene: That's not exactly what kiwi is about.. how about I have a kiwi party to try to make this all clear?
Thor: Excellent, more control means greater efficiency.
Bee: Sure, but I'm only free Tuesdays between 5 and 5:30 in the morning.
Bee and Thor stay in room. Janet + friends sings time wharp song while someone yells out months months months later.
Post kiwi party
Bee and Thor are hanging out. Nancy, Arnie walks into classroom.
Bee: Hey Thor, How was the kiwi party? Irene was telling me about it. Did you go?
Thor: I didn't go.. if we're going to use computers, we should all be assigned one and given training and enforcement until we do things the proper way.
RARRRR!!!!!!!!!...I already told everyone. My way or the highway. It is easy.
Arnie: I could walk or even take my bike.
Thor: They should be sent to a reeducation class until they do things the proper way, be fired or quit. It's simple.
Irene: It's software based on the Web, you have to learn a few conventions, but it helps you solve a lot of different problems as a group and when including the public.
Bee: It sounds like it might be helpful for our affinity group, and really help my community organizing.
Nancy: yah but Bee, the affinity group is one thing, community organizing is again another thing, it is all too much, I have this to do, I have that to do....whine whine whine...(Cleo improvises)
Irene: You have to make sure to include those people using different means, not just the kiwi.
Thor: They can be reeducated.
Arnie: Couldn't we do all this with the fax machine?
Bev: Yes, we definitely should do it. Bureaucrat Today says everyone else is doing it (holds up a copy of Bureaucrat Today with a caption "Kiwis: Everyone else is doing it.")
