Faith sent this to me offlist, but I think they're good ideas, so it's
worth sending to the whole group (especially for the archives).

game night, in general, should be fine. it could be all kinds of games. 
board games. card games. twister. it could be a monthly thing. it might be 
kinda cool.

one thing that i would really like to see is the people who are active in 
the IMC right now coming there for something other than meetings. i 
personally would be a lot more willing to prioritize being in the space if 
there was ever a time when i was there for non-business related stuff.

with my schedule being what it is, i can't really come to meetings (unless 
they're on thursday and friday nights, or on the weekend), but maybe there 
could be a list where people could talk about this? or a wiki or 
something?
