audience.

Jason's right, we need to first determine our audience (age, geography, culture, etc.), and to me this means our initial audience. I think by definition of the concept of Lonely Heroes: of being heroes to the lonely, etc. our audience is already chosen: lonely folks.

That is such a broad topic and range and group of people that there is no way we could attack that with any sort of tangibility as 5 people. Initially we should probably focus in on one (perhaps several over multiple occasions) group and try and gain some substantial ground in that area (as opposed to spreading ourselves thin over many groups but not leaving much of a dent--any other thoughts there?).

Ideas for people groups:

• homeless kids (maybe like house of hope)
• orphans (are there orphanages in metro orlando? is it bad that I don't know?)
• widows (nice serve type activities for people who can't do their own painting, upkeep, cleaning...)
• depressed people (what avenues would we have/what could we do to meet tangible needs?)
• single people (i know this sounds dumb, but some people love being single and wouldn't have it any other way, but there are a lot of people who have a trenchant awareness of their singleness and perpetually have a feeling of loneliness...again i don't know what avenues we'd have to do something for them or what even we would do, but it's just another idea)
  

Another idea (i know this is way outside of my comfort zone) is engaging people who are by themselves at shows (whether we play or not). There's a chance they just couldn't find a friend to come with them, but there's also the chance that they are in need of a friend, too.

any other ideas?
