We Meet Face to Face

The International Dada Centennial Committee is having its first conference. Cultural Terrorist will be minuting the event in the blog. In attendance are ten individuals, all of whom will be anonymous, regardless of whether they wish to be anonymous. I will go so far as to describe them, physically and otherwise, but will only call them by number in the order that they sit in a circle, clockwise from my left.

#1 is male, about five nine, very thin, longish dark hair, eyeglasses, wispy beard, mid twenties, dressed all in black.
#2 is female, about five five, medium build, long auburn hair, thirtyish, long dark green floral print skirt, sandals with thick, hot pink socks (it is January), mauve sweater into which her rosy face seems to blend.
#3 is female, short, rounded figure, salt and pepper hair cut very short, fortyish. She dresses in a masculine sort of way. I am fairly certain she is a lesbian until she mentions her husband several times. Maybe it was the thick Brookyn accent that made her seem... I don't suppose this is any of my business... especially if her father is in the Mafia.
#4 is male, short, slight build, blond, a pretty sort of boy, looks to be about twenty two, pale olive green turtle neck, khakis, penny loafers, shy, nervous, twiddles this thumbs. I need to ask him where he got the penny loafers. I did not know they still made them.
# 5 is male, about five eight, stocky, probably muscular, thick wrists, gray hair, balding, vaguely middle aged, wears a dark gray tweed jacket. He makes a point of telling us, perhaps a little defensively, that he is openly polygamous, numbering his wives at four, "so far."
# 6 is female, about five seven, very thin, disturbingly pretty, shoulder length mouse brown hair, late twenties, dark maroon velvet jacket, white shirt, faded blue jeans, tennis shoes, white socks, large intelligent eyes the color of clover honey, or is it buckwheat honey? Definitely darker than sourwood honey. Crosses her legs and moves her toe up and down as if keeping time with some internal music, adagio. Beethoven's "Sonata Pathetique?" A soft, friendly pink mouth like....I really ought to shut up about #6 lest my wife read this and pepper me with irrelevant questions.
#7 is male, tall, thin, hair the same color as the eyes of #6, next to whom he sits, dressed rather expensively, I think, paisley tie, jacket also the same color as the eyes of #6, (I really must shut up about her), strikes me as a dandy, so to speak, very chatty, animated, thirty something.
#8 is female, also in her thirties, a bit plump, extremely long dark hair, long black skirt, brick colored sweater, asks whether it is okay that she is a Bible believing christian. Everyone nods enthusiastically.
#9 is male, average height, average build, bald, in his sixties at least, rimless glasses, quiet, gray suit, white shirt, no tie. Asks whether he can smoke. Everyone nods enthusiastically except #2, who just sighs in acquiescence.
#10 is male, very short, very thin, very bald, probably prematurely so, pushing forty, wears expensive looking blue jeans, expensive looking cowboy boots, black turtleneck sweater, intense pale blue eyes.

The meeting is called to order.
