Let's just say alternate tuning TBD and figure out what else we're doing so His Royal Highness the Thread Master will give us a venue.

Whoa!
I certainly didn't mean to come off as controlling. I'm just so excited that I want to get the ball rolling. Believe me, I'd be more than happy to just participate...
Did I understand you correctly?
Again, I think the alt tuning thing is a great idea because it ties everything together but still allows for so much freedom. I could care less about the tuning too. I'd love to try something new that someone else enjoys--just throwing out some ideas. I think everyone just selecting a tuning they normally don't use is a great idea as well...
DADEAD doesn't have anything above standard pitch--it's all down. I've only been able to write one song in it, but it turned out pretty well. Lot's of cool dissonances...Love the observation by the way. I'm calling it the "Dead Dad" tuning from now on...
I had an idea of doing, like, a murder mystery game where everyone selects a character in a house. Like I mentioned above, cheesey, but it would be a great exercise in character development within the context of verse. Almost like the Canterbury Tales, but set to music...
...We could then look at some provided evidence and figure out who is guilty. You know: "The indie poseur, at The Bottleneck, with his pretentions..."
