Come to Olympia Salvage this weekend and help build Oly's first-ever cob COUCH!! Cob is a natural building material comprised of sand, clay and straw. It's great fun for the whole family. Friday we kick it all off at noon and go until 4 or so. Saturday 10 am to 3 pm. Sunday 10 am to 4 pm. Make history. Dance in mud. There will be a little food and some drink. Friday there will be music thanks to our friends Southern Skies. Hope to see you there!

i missed the terra commons meeting last night because i was ill. very disappointing! i really want to meet all of you folks who are doing city repair/permaculture/public art & beautification kind of work & those who have a serious, committed interest in it. did anyone else make it to the mtg? maybe we can arrange a meetup to discuss a collaborative vision & set some projects in motion. it seems to me we've got plenty of people with a diversity of skills & experience to accomplish an expanded version of what city repair is doing. i want to see us develop community landscapes that incorporate natural building, food forests & gardens & public art in one space. it would be awesome to have a unified network accomplishing these things.

i've been frustrated doing loop-de-loops all over the olyblogosphere trying to find any info about a city repair HERE in oly; the links i find lead either to nowhere or to portland's site. for awhile i thought Jan Spencer was a contact for the oly group, but i just discovered that he actually lives in eugene.
» what's up?? i've done a fair amount of work with city repair in portland & i want to help get a serious south sound gig up & running. building useful community spaces & edible landscapes & making commons that are beautifying & inspiring: where's my posse?? i don't want to sit around & talk about making change, i want us to make things happen. oly & tacoma are ripe for this... are you involved? are you down? somebody throw me some information, some enthusiasm, anything to get this thing going! |
