because i'm voting for

given my history,
the least i wanted to do was share my two cents on
what i thought was the least political org i know.

but because other points deserve some scrutiny too,
i'm sharing what i think is private information:

who i'm voting for to be blueREP's next top leader.
for whatever it's worth.


many in the org are correct in emphasizing platforms
(even if we're in the middle of two awesome productions,
candidates have come up with pretty interesting ones: links here and here).

if i follow their advice, then i'm rooting for jio.
blueREP has been enjoying the safety of its comfort zone.
we have reached a point where the only difference between this year and last
is how daring/different/nice the borrowed material is.

nothing too wrong with that. but i really believe open-to-all planning sessions
and an actual beefed-up blueREP academy
and an actual well-financed blueREP lab
can drive the org's talent, resources, childlike wonder and vibe
to better use.

little changes here and there are what we have been doing for years
and so we're stuck. maybe it's time to move on and not get stuck
with little changes here and there.

but platforms are just strings of words.
we all know they need good leaders to make them work.
here is, i believe, the hard part:
i am absolutely certain both of them candidates are good, if not so goood.

but my very limited experience working with either
makes me root for jio again. for several reasons but i will share here only one.

upon deciding he wanted to be finance officer,
jio shared his plans as i was once finance officer too.
my initial reaction was of the yeah-right-sure-like-you-will-actually-spend-time-for-that variety.
two months later, his plan was right before me.
it wasn't as huge as his plans now (it was some tool that made it easy for officers
to compute blueREP finances, i think) but it actually worked.

and so i'm pretty confy that that platform
would actually bear fruit. but we'll see.

for now, there still are candidates to study
tensions to ease
two productions to catch (links here and here)
