Crystal Creek work party Jun 7

margonaut — Sun, 18 May 2008 02:28:15 GMT

There will be a work party on Saturday, June 7th at Crystal Creek

this is partially to prepare for Entheos, however it will mostly be about doing work to benefit Crystal Creek in general

one day only, there will likely be some chilling out (maybe drumming?) into the evening but they’ve asked for no camping overnight

people can crash at Margot & Eduardo's house in Gibsons if needed

BRING TOOLS & GARDENING EQUIPMENT

this is a great way to give back to this magical piece of land & have fun!

sublet available- june/july near sechelt

chloez — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:10:33 GMT

We want someone like you to live in our bright & artsy home for a few months!
(maybe more?)

Its located 2 blocks up from one of the more private beaches on the sunshine coast (sandbar when the tide is out!), and two blocks down from the forest.
It's a 10 minute bike ride into sechelt & there's a bus stop really close by so if you don't have a vehicle it's easy to get to roberts creek, gibsons or the ferry.

The home was renovated right before we moved in.
There are 2 very large bedrooms, right now one is being used as an art room. The other one can be completely cleared out if need be.
there's also a nook just off the kitchen which could be made into another bedroom (there's already a bed in it too)
The living room is large & bright and full of musical instruments.

The whole house is carpeted except the kitchen & bathroom.

Its non-smoking, no pets, and we try to respect the landlady upstairs(who is awesome) & her teenage daughter by not being really loud late at night.

There's a front & back yard too- with gardens & a variety of birds.

It's a great place to have a retreat &/or to be close to the summer scene in roberts creek.

the cost is $975 per month.

email us if you're interested or have any questions:
mindofasnail (at) gmail (dot) com

Earth Day Film Night - Sunday April 20

david — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 17:12:32 GMT

To celebrate Earth Day, Black Cat Productions presents Earth Day Film Night with a screening of the award-winning documentary Garbage Warrior.

Garbage Warrior is a feature-length documentary film telling the epic story of maverick architect Michael Reynolds, founder and director of Earthship Biotecture, his crew of renegade house builders from New Mexico, and their fight to introduce radically different ways of living.

Imagine a home that heats itself, that provides its own water, that grows its own food. Imagine that it needs no expensive technology, that it recycles its own waste, that it has its own power source. And now imagine that it can be built anywhere, by anyone, out of the things society throws away. Thirty years ago, architect Michael Reynolds imagined just such a home - then set out to build it. A visionary in the classic American mode, Reynolds has been fighting ever since to bring his concept to the public. He believes that in an age of ecological instability and impending natural disaster, his buildings can - and will - change the way we live.

Shot over three years in the USA, India and Mexico, Garbage Warrior is a snapshot of contemporary geo-politics and an inspirational tale of triumph over bureaucracy. Garbage Warrior is above all an intimate portrait of an extraordinary individual and his dream of changing the world.

Garbage Warrior won the 2007 People's Choice Award for Most Popular International Documentary at the Vancouver International Film Festival.

More info about Garbage Warrior is available at http://www.garbagewarrior.com

More info about Earthships Biotecture is available at http://www.earthship.net

Enjoy Earth Day festivities all afternoon noon till 5pm at the Roberts Creek pier, and in the evening relax at the Earth Day Film Night at the Roberts Creek Hall!

Garbage Warrior screens on Sun. April 20 at the Roberts Creek Community Hall.
Doors @ 7:00pm; Film @ 7:30pm. Admission $8.
More info from 604-886-2780 or blackcat@resist.ca.

vegan potluck anyone?

david — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:08:18 GMT

i've not found too many vegans on the sunshine coast, which is unfortunate for folks like me... i've been vegan for over two decades so it won't be anytime soon that i'll be eating salmon or buffalo, to name two of the more favoured flesh entres in these parts!

i'm not looking to change anyone, or preach or start arguments, i simply want to get together with others of like mind to share good food without feeling like a complete outcast for my dietary choice.

i would love to begin a monthly vegan potluck... i can't host because my cabin is too small. anyone interested?

btw, this wouldn't be limited to people with a vegan diet, just the food would be non-animal.

Greetings Elphin-Stoners, Freaks of the One Nature, those whom I have held in my attention at the Hall, at the Boot, at the Beach, on the Pier,
at the place where all my dreams come true, the Peace Camp I put myself in way back in 2000-do you know that the pictures of us in my mind will never be lost, deleted, or forgotten.....thank-you Natural State we sometimes find ourselves in together because some people really know how to throw a party on the coast.......me and Garuda (My Tibetan Buddhist name is Chodzin-but you can call me Lalo-my Dad named me Lalo after Guru Nanak's first disciple-Lalo was a carpenter who offered Guru Nanak a bowl of yogurt when Nanak came out of the bush all hungry and enlightened)...or you can call me Penny. Now that I am in Victoria where my brother and sister and Mother are (my family moved from Edmonton to Victoria when I was 5-I split from the land of the Newly-wed and the newly dead when i was 16 to join my brothers band)-I get called by my first name, which is Penny.
Keith and I (Garuda is Keiths tribe name) are loving Victoria, the Sunset scene, Sooke, and our favourite butter thief krishna -shiraz,aswell as other tribal gems who have moved here or float by.
i usually don't do computer communication-so feel privledged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is time for me and Garuda to branch out electronically.
Love those who love those who love-i do-love yourself and don't take any shit my sisters-
I'll see you on the dance floor......Karma Chodzin Penny Lalo Singh

Moving to Powell River!

remy — Sat, 17 Nov 2007 21:59:34 GMT

Hi!

So... Lyra and I are escaping from Oregon! I've been offered a job in Powell River, and we're coming up in a couple of weeks.

We've been involved in putting together intentional/conscious dance events in Eugene, as well as helping with the Faerieworlds Festival... and are looking to connect up with similarly-minded folks on the Sunshine Coast. We particularly love psy... oh, and Lyra is looking to connect up with firespinny types, too. :D

Oh, and... hotsprings? Are the closest really up in the Whistler area, or is there anything more nearby?

See you all soon!

unless anyone has any objections. i am going to flip over the moderation of this tribe to martin. if you don't know who he is, you haven't been on the coast long enough to be moderator, and if you think it should be someone else... well too bad, think about it, martin is the perfect person for the task.

so voila! i hope he accepts because i'm gonna just go ahead and do it...

it's snowing here now and it makes me very happy.
maybe i'll see some of ya some time around the holidays soon.

Intergalactic rainbow experience

Bharata — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 17:12:20 GMT

Greetings family

The seed camp starts on the 24th of November!
Luckily the rainbow site hasn't been affected by the flooding.
And the site is accessible.
It´s been sunny throughout the area, since 8th November.

Seed camp.
We already have a few organic seeds, though it would be great to have more. Mexican customs will only allow packaged seeds to enter the country legally, If you are coming from the USA, a known provider is seeds of change, which could be a good source…( http://www.seedsofchange.com).
The region is tropical, and is located at 400 meters above sea level.

Just consider that we can use these seeds that will nurture and feed our community, as long as we have to put money in the magic hat, we will be hooked onto the larger and self destructive system. Even though the transition towards sustainability is a long process we need to start somewhere. The Hat allows us to relax and have an active working minority that struggles to sustain the larger family. This is just a reflection of a capitalist based system that conforms to these sort of patterns. Hopefully we can arise in this moment and channel our efforts and our commitment to a more harmonious planet earth.

Specially we need all the willing people with permaculture knowledge, eco-building, domes, bridges, etc…

Other things we need:
Seeds
Tarps
Teepees
Rubber boats (for transporting supplies)
Organic Food and whatever you can bring for a massive kitchen.
Big Pots

We also recommend snorkeling gear. 

Transportation Updates.
There are floods in the Villahermosa area, which are residing slowly, though transport is moving through. If you come from the South, there are buses that are going to Las Choapas, through Villa Hermosa, or through Tuxtla Gutierrez.
If you are coming from the north, then ADO buses (https://www.ticketbus.com.mx) run from Mexico City to Las Choapas, otherwise to Coatzacoalcos and from there to Las Choapas.

If you HAVE to fly…
The closest airport is Minatitlan (MTT)

Caravans:
To all those that are eager to ride horses, there will be 19 at the site.
And we will help coordinate to acquire more…
If you are serious about the horse caravan, there are important things we recommend that you get, specially if your are not in Mexico, please join the group for more info:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/horsecaravan/join

For a map and other info just check www.rainbow.tk

Hope to see you in rainbowland, and rejoice cause when you see a welcome home we really mean it!

For the benefit of all…

Call to Harmonix Council

sobey — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 04:18:34 GMT

This is being put out to the local Vancouver & Sunshine Coast BC tribe but I also wanted to let kin from other regions in on what's happening as I am aware that the subject of our council affects others as well. This may also be repeated at other festivals in 2008 in some form...

Call to Harmonix Council, Sun.Oct.21,1-4pm

On Sunday October 21st a council will be held at Memelab (1814 Pandora and Salsbury),east of Commercial, north of Hastings). By donation to cover cost of space rental. No one refused for lack of funds.

The Harmonix Council is the convergence of a men and women circle intended to increase the balance between the sexes to fortify and protect the community it serves. The focus of this council will be on how we can experience safer, more conscious, respectful interactions with sexual behaviour. It will also bring together ideas culled from both men and women circles regarding addressing people who have been affected by abuse, the roots of causing harm consciously or unconsciously to others regardless of gender. It is encouraged that these circles also clarify what we want to see and experience in relation to a positive, healthy sexuality.

The culminating aim of the council will be to draft a community code of honor in relation to Love Sex Intelligence to assist the community in the future and help with the clearing of the past of all that no longer serves and restore the positive values we hold in common.

In preparation for this council, participants are invited to take part in men and women circles held separately prior to the Harmonix Council. These will be happening on both the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver prior to October 21. People can do so on their own, bring this subject to existing men or women circles or join in the ones being organized. All circles should keep clear concise notes of their process and distilled recommendations for consideration at the Harmonix Council. Where wise, confidentiality should be held to make these circles safe for participants.

If possible please rsvp to sobeyone(at) photon (dot net) with your interest and intention for being a part of this council and let me know if you are able to take part in a men or women council prior to the 21st. Info will be sent to those interested in taking part in the men and women circles.

For the Harmonix Council all are invited to bring objects that represent their intention to be placed together on the altar to anchor the field being created.

For those inclined and for inspiration to accompany preparation for this council please note the 12th to the 20th of October is the Navaratri festival in Hindu tradition, a time of giving honor to the divine feminine aspect as personified by the many faces of Shakti. In some parts of India this festival is celebrated with dances of 40 000 men and women. Perhaps something can be taken from this phenonmenon to assist us in our North American culture in its unhealthy aspects.

Simone Forti "Logomotion Writing Workshop" \ project in residence

Rossella — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 00:19:49 GMT

Caravajal15 residenza dinamica
Orvieto \ Italy
International Projects 2008

Hello!
We are happy to announce that Simone Forti will be again the guest artist of our residence, for giving her intensive residential workshop “Logomotion Writing Workshop”.
The intensive workshop with Simone Forti is in the ambit of our international projects 2008, and will be from March 8 to 15 2008 in the beautiful Etruscan city of Orvieto, in mid Italy.
The workshop is limited to 16 participants.
The intensive workshop will be held at the headquarters of the cultural Association Caravajal15 residenza dinamica, in the prestigious sixteenth century rooms of the Palazzo Caravajal-Simoncelli.
The fee is 400 euros, which includes also hospitality, reception and meals.
Application for registration is open from October 15th.
For information write to: info@contactfestival.it, or telephone to +39 0763.341479.
Info and texts below.

Simone Forti \ Logomotion Writing Workshop
Intensive residential workshop
8-15 March 2008
maximum 16 participants
7-day workshop, plus one day pause
fee 400 euros (including meals and lodging)
pre-registration: 150 euros

Logomotion Writing Workshop
Sometimes our words don't have access to what we know in our bones.
In this workshop we will be improvising moving and speaking, and we will be writing.
While our writing will stimulate our imagination and support our improvisations, our improvisations will enrich our writing with a kinesthetic timing to phrasing and windows on sudden thoughts and memories.
Our activities will include studio sessions of improvisational moving and speaking, spontaneous writing, walks in town, with partners, for conversations about matters large and small, and private times to write and to craft our writings and to read them to each other.
We will borrow from the writing practice of Natalie Goldberg as found in her books “Writing Down the Bones” and “Wild Mind”, discovering the associations that gather spontaneously around a chosen point of departure.
As our movement work will include many activities in partners and in groups, some of our writing will include more than one voice, focusing on the relationships between the thoughts of different people.
A goal will be to write with wild mind and intention, and with awareness of world.

Jennifer Dunning writes in her 1991 New York Times review: “Simone Forti presented her first dance program in 1960 and has since then had a steadily increasing influence on post-modernist choreographers interested in exploring ‘natural’ or non-formalist movement and dance”.

Black Cat Cinema Returns!

david — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 16:48:06 GMT

After a few seasons of scheming and planning I'm very happy to announce that Black Cat Cinema is returning to Roberts Creek this Fall with a full and ambitious program of interesting and intriguing films.

Keep your Monday nights free; beginning Mon. Sept. 10 and running weekly, every Monday, until Dec. 17th, I invite you to join us for an evening of film and discussion.

Films will now be shown at the Roberts Creek Community Hall and NOT the Gumboot Cafe. This move will give us all a lot more space and leg room. As well, the projected image will be much larger, plus, best of all, everyone will be able to see without obstructions! As usual, films will start at 7:30 and doors will open at 7pm.

The other major change is that Black Cat Cinema now falls under the auspices of the Sunshine Coast Film Society as an independent community project. I am grateful for the support of the current President and Board of the SCFS for joining in an alliance, as this will allow us to continue. (And thank you *so much* to all of you who wrote and expressed your support for Black Cat when I was forced to shut down last year; there were so many of you, I am grateful beyond words!)

As a result of the new alliance, BCC film-goers will now require an annual SCFS membership, available for $12 at all our screenings. Single-show memberships are also an option at $3. The admission will be dropped from $6 to $5; this is the same pricing structure as the Film Society.

Black Cat Cinema will continue to show independent and thought-provoking films, from government conspiracy and political issues, to those of a spiritual, artistic, and metaphysical nature. I am extremely excited by the Fall 2007 line-up!

The full schedule of upcoming films will soon be available online, within the next week or so, at http://www.scfs.ca/blackcat.html.

Or look for the Black Cat Cinema brochure at your local cafe and other locations around the Sunshine Coast beginning in the first week of September.

Our first film screening, on Mon. Sept. 10th, will be a documentary that effectively destroys the official explanation of the events surrounding 9-11. More info will be emailed soon.

Thank you to all who have supported Black Cat over the past few years! I look forward to seeing you Monday nights at our new home at the Roberts Creek Community Hall.

David

Places for Sanity on the Sunshine Coast

rethreads — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 12:36:20 GMT

Hi there - I'm coming up from New Zealand in a couple of weeks to visit my brother and his family in Pender Harbour. I love my family and also will be looking for alternative places to be able to go and just soak up a vibe of kindly like-minded people. any cafe's good to know about, or parties or events in the next couple of weeks?

It'd be good to get a feeling for the sunshine coast culture independent of my family, who are fantastic but have mostly different interests to myself.

Anything, just anything will be happily taken into consideration.

thanks

Someone captured us on Video in Ashland and uploaded it to "You Tube". The performance we did there was a spontanous gig at
Wellsprings. (A hotsprings we stayed at) They wanted us to perform for their 7:7:7 Festival. The lady dancing is our belly/hoopdancing comrade and sister Jeska.

It was all Freestyle.

Terran and Hjeron are on percussion - Noah's on the banjo - Rebecca on back up vocals and I'm the one singing and playing guitar.

Enjoy.

johnnydrum — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 10:00:22 GMT

2 summers ago, while swimming at roberts creek beach, i received a left arm full of jelly fish sting. not the white jelly fish but what i'm sure was translucent pale purple-reddish in colour.

i had swum further out than usual ... noticed the colder temperature of the water ... figured the tide was coming in ...

a few minutes later, walking out of the water, i couldn't help but notice this slowly intensifying pain sensation on my left arm, and from the marks surmised i'd been stung by jelly fish. telling my companion what happened and starting to feel a little woozy, i began to make my way by foot to my van, stopping in at the creek food store, where my anxiety (imagining i may be having an allergic reaction) was calmed by beth's gentle empathy and compassion.

the sensation, which felt like a hundred little bee stings, lasted well over 2 hours, and was still noticable 4 hours later. being a sunday, the medical clinic was closed. i wasn't able to get any info from the bc nurse telephone service. i didn't feel it was an emergency ... sometime later, maybe the next day, i thought to call john field, biology teacher at cap college, who told me that urine or vinegar neutralizes jelly fish sting.

This is totally F&*ed up.

Western Forest products is currently logging 1000 year old yellow cedar on extremely steep valley sides. This part of the watershed is key to holding it all together.

You are needed.

Romina seeking new home

beatrix — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 23:12:44 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a new home for August 1st. My preference is to stay on the Sunshine Coast. I work at home and need a large enough room to accommodate my home office and music studio. As a roommate, I am clean, conscientious and respectful of noise levels and space needs. I also have two cats who are feline gems, Ackee is small and shy but very affectionate once you get to know her, and the Regalo is the ultimate little gentleman who all roommates have loved.

I am an avid gardener and community orientated person with good domestic, tech, home repair and maintenance skills to offer a household. Message me here if you have something available or any leads.

thank you
Romina

INSTANT TOWN ON DRAWING BOARD URGENT

Singhilarity — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 20:26:26 GMT

Front page of the April 11th Vancouver Sun:

http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=5b325d0e-2a0d-4117-a620-befa77437dd2&k=69761&p=2

"Real estate developer Columbia National Investments is planning to build a Whistler-style resort on raw land near Sechelt, using recently tweaked provincial legislation to create an instant town with municipal powers for taxation and public services.

The centrepiece of the community is to be a 36-hole golf course surrounded by view homes, hotels and condominiums with a village and retail development.

Bill 11, passed last month, allows the provincial cabinet to create "instant" municipalities in rural areas to promote resort development and grants special powers to resort communities to provide fire, sewerage and water services as well as facilitate special taxation powers and group marketing.

The new legislation is a framework that paves the way for remote communities to develop resort infrastructure without troubling the legislature to pass new enabling law as was the case with Whistler, said ministry spokeswoman Anne McKinnon. The law is geared toward creating "instant towns" to develop alpine resorts in sparsely populated areas where there are few other economic drivers, she said. In the absence of those factors, proponents of resort developments are expected to work with local governments, she said.

"I told the [Sunshine Coast Regional District] to have a close look at this legislation," said Powell River-Sunshine Coast NDP MLA Nicholas Simons, "because I can foresee the impact of this legislation on the ability of local government to have any say in their area."

"CNI seems to think that they don't need to bother the good folks at the regional district any more about their plans," said Simons, a New Democrat. "It seems to me there should be a process where the local people and government have some input, particularly since this land is in the watershed."

The Sunshine Coast Regional District has asked the ministry of community services for details of the act and for guidance, according to Ed Steeves, chairman of the SCRD and representative for the district of Sechelt. The board is concerned that CNI may be able to use the legislation to bypass the SCRD's authority over development in the region.

Steeves said he is aware that CNI is clearing the property and that they have recently acquired a gravel mining permit. But he said any further development of the land would face serious challenges securing a supply of water and disposing of sewage."

By a watershed. Nothing like golf green pesticides to help that water go down smooth.

So what can we do? Act *today* (April 12th).

Call Sean Eckford at 741 - 9170. He runs a local radio. Press "2", to reach the Newsroom.
Conveniently enough, Mr Colin Hansen, the Minister of Economic Development is on the coast *today*

Let *everyone* know that we don't want this. Flood the newsroom. Get the word out. Today.

PAPER CUPS.

nikobarista — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 01:26:01 GMT

so, i had a little debut at the boot last saturday. got a pretty good response, had lots of fun, and ranted like crazy.

i cheated by the way, i wasn't freestylin, i wrote those lines last week after johanna and david talked to me about the event. it was something i wanted to get off my chest. the sound was a little harsh when it came to hearing the lyrics. so i figured i would write them up here so my message continues to shed off my chest.

so here goes:

paper cups, paper cups
this is a simple cue about paper cups

this is a simple cue about a paper cup,
it might be about you but please don't be a suck.
this is a simple cue about a paper cup,
it is about you so c'mon listen up.

yanno i used to work here swigning coffee everyday,
mixin all yer drinks every cup a special way.
pourin nectar in a paper cup was makin me loco,
not just for tourists but for friends and locals.
regulars, transiants, old and new,
and would you beleive it... fearies and elves too!

ya think paper cups grow on trees?
well they do... and that's the problem,
ya it's true... so we gotta get off 'em
we do it too often
so get yer own mug then
and their comes a time when
you go fer more jo again
so you use yer own mug again
again and again and again...

"i'll have a tall non-fat half caf double shot really hot sugar free vanilla latte to go...
put it in 2 paper cups, it stays warmer longer that way yanno."

it's not even to go! it's for the patio!

"well it's my right to have it, and don't forget the java jaket!"

starbucks, is that way bitch.
2 more paper cups... in the ditch.

do you need to peel off bark,
every morning for your spark.
or do you wash your own mug,
are you part of the club

we allready break a branch, when we wipe our asses,
why not give the tree a chance, when we raise our glasses.

i thought fearies and elves protected the trees.
one cup at a time, the forest to it's knees.

i'm not head of the class,
i'm a hippocrit.
my big van guzzles gas,
and i drive quite a bit.

yanno i'm part of the problem, part of the solution,
get yer own mug and be part of the revolution.

this is a simple cue, about a paper cup.
it might be about you, so please don't be a suck
i said
this is a simle cue, about a paper cup,
it is about you so c'mon, listen up.
ya
c'mon hippie, what the fuck!
why you put my coffee in a paper cup?

C'MON HIPPIE, WHAT THE FUCK!
WHY YOU PUTTIN COFFEE IN A PAPER CUP???

Give me your red shoes for the Red Shoes Budget project

Brian — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 15:11:12 GMT

in case you hadn't noticed, the proposed provincial budget is crap. so a group of people are calling it the Red Shoe Budget - see this website for more info - http://www.theredshoesbudget.ca . One of the actions i like the sound of is collecting red shoes and dumping them on the doorstep of the legislature while the budget is being debated.

So, if you have a pair of red shoes you'd like to donate to this message please drop them off at my house at 762 Cascade Crescent, Gibsons before March 15th.

Here's the letter that was written to Carole Taylor telling us about our initiative:

Dear Ms. Taylor,

We LOVE your red shoes, but admire your environmental leadership. Leadership demonstrated so well by 'recycling' your shoes for 12 years. How lovely are your red pumps! And they’re not even dated, although your approach to budgeting might be.

We get that we all need to do our part. Especially the working poor, the homeless, those with mental illness, single parents, students, folks who need childcare and seniors--we need to make sacrifices for the environment too. And that is why we are so inspired—under your leadership—to take our tax cut and use it to buy a really good pair of high quality red shoes.

BTW - thanks for suggesting that we spend our tax cut on housing, but we will do our part for the environment and buy red shoes! Well, those of us who earn more than $16, 600/yr anyways, since anyone who earns less than that doesn’t pay taxes. But for the lucky ones who earn up to $34 000, we’re taking our $208 and going straight to our fav. Shoe store. And that is why, we the undersigned, submit this petition to officially change the name of Budget 2007 from “Balanced Budget 2007: Building a Housing Legacy” to “The Red Shoes Budget: Save our Soles”

Hey, we could have red shoes for each occasion! Goodness knows red hip waders to slosh through rising sea levels due to climate change would be a good buy. (or Maybe we can buy red pumps that actually have water pumps in the heel, you know, to help bail water out of streets as the sea levels rise due to climate change!) Or a pair of platforms to stay on top of the sure-to-increase number of homeless would be good.

And hey, even though the homeless will remain so with this budget, at least, by applying your leadership principles, they’ll have saucy looking tootsies to stick out of their cardboard shelters and dumpsters! But, enough of the homeless, goodness know you’ve had enough.

So, in era where we need strong and bold leadership and just when we we’re beginning to think that tax cuts won’t cure cancer or house the homeless, your bold thoughtfulness has shown us that red shoes, coupled of course with tax cuts, might indeed save us, and the planet. Absolute Genius.

Sign our petition, enter the amount of your tax credit you pledge to spend on red shoes, tell us what shoe store you'll buy them at and we'll calculate your SHOE MILES.

nikobarista — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 22:29:44 GMT

so welcome home everyone.

i only invited people from my friends list so please, invite as many people as you want.

the only thing to respect maybe is to keep it local. only people that actually live here, party here, visit here.

no randoms.

example, i invited St-Evan, Dee, Desirée cause they have lived here and still come often.

so voila.
