This month...
New
Directions
Michael Smith was listed in our last newsletter as a new intern.
A summer has raced by, and we have a lot to show for it.
Camp
Democracy is coming up this September in Washington, DC,
a national event likely to make some headlines,
and thanks to Michael's outreach efforts SpaceShare
is playing an important role, helping coordinate carpools, buses and
hosting.
Lightning &
Sunshine
We're in the middle of festival season, trying to keep
up with the growing list of green festivals. Here's a photo of Mary at Lightning
in a Bottle; we missed the chance to attend the California World Music
Festival that same weekend, having reached the point where we sometimes
set up carpooling for two events at one time.
We're trying to integrate a growing list
of volunteers, to get more people trained so you can run a SpaceShare booth.
When you can, there will be many chances to spend your weekend at
festivals without paying for the ticket. A great event where we
need more hands is SolFest in Hopland, the weekend of August 19 and 20. The 21st I'll be in
Denver for the Idea Factory, a conference for event planners, where
we'll be showing hundreds of conference organizers why a greener
conference is a better conference. Anyone live in Denver - let me know!
If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your Revolution
Dance, sing and act in front of thousands, and be part of our
revolution. You may not become quite as famous as Emma Goldman, but we
need some theater folks to design and perform skits about community
building including ridesharing, to perform at festivals in front of
thousands. We've got
some ideas to get your started, but could use a playwright's help pretty badly.
Contribute
SpaceShare doesn't ask for donations, we look for participation and
contributions. Step up, be part of the effort! Connecting us with
a new conference is more valuable than sending a $20 check, and keeps us
from spending all your money hiring staff to ask you for more money!
Join the conversations begining at
http://www.spaceshare.com/community, and
think about how you can dance in our revolution.
