Thank you to everyone who came to the TownHall Meeting. We had a packed standing room only crowd. And it was very productive. We are super excited about all the wonderful projects in LA and your involvement in it. One of the key elements we spoke about was the involvement of additional Regional Coordinators.  I promised to post the leadership criteria for everyone to read. In a couple weeks, we will post a call for recommendations for the Regional Coordinator positions. So read this link for more information.

We spoke about the Archives project and the First Gen film project. To reach Dawn and get involved email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

The Decom call for stages will go out in April, so look for an email but start taking to your camps now if you want to host one of the stages at Decom on October 13th. We are especially looking for more live music stages.

We want to hear about your community projects and gatherings. If you are looking to grow your community and invite others, please email your requests to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Four projects for 2012 are the CORE project and a LA Regional Overnight Camping event, plus a Southwest Regional Burn and LA Unified public school garden projects. Your involvement will be required for all these project to happen. Lets take that wonderful playa energies and direct it inward. Together we can create the default world into our world.

Again, Thank you for your participation.
