Signing in from California

Currently I’m posted up next to the gift economy wild man Nipun Mehta who got me into this crazy lifestyle a year back. :) We’re both at his folks house in Santa Clara where we each took part in a weekly Wednesday night meditation. Every Wednesday for the past 10 years Nipun’s folks have opened their home to anyone who wants to take part in an hour of meditation, followed by a small discussion, and then a glorious meal. It was so powerful to be in the presence of such amazing service and loving people.

So I’m planning to be out in the bay area for the next month or so working on developing the online infrastructure of Smooth Feather with Nipun. We’re developing some exciting ideas that will soon allow others to get more actively involved with future productions.

In regards to the latest Gift Economy production, two weekends back we offered our service in Cape Cod to the amazing reggae band John Browns Body.


It was a weekend of frisbees, flip flops and sun on our shoulders. :) JBB played two sold out shows at the Beach Comber and on the second night we showed up with the cameras rolling. The show was fantastic and the band was clearly touched with our no strings attached offer.
