i've just finished sealing the envelopes for the road journal and i'll be taking them over to the post office as soon as kirstin arrives at the store around 3:00. those of you on our mailing list should be receiving it shortly.
thank you to all of the world fare volunteers who helped label, fold, staple and collate our somewhat unwieldy mailing. someday we'll figure out how to do this more efficiently; until then, our volunteers' graciousness is invaluable.
also, a hearty thank you to gideon strauss, who included *cino and catapult on a list of "must-visit web sites" today. while it was certainly compliment enough to be included in a list with several organizations whom we respect very highly--ransom fellowship, the new pantagruel, and paste magazine--gideon also offered these kind words:
Catapult continues to be one of the most provocative regular reads in my media diet, and the things *cino and the VG-Rs are doing (cultureVision for high school students, camping is not optional, and the VG-Rs fair trade store, World Fare) and imagining (acts two, visionPractice, and cino communities) serve like little apocalyptic visions to remind me of the hope that is possible in history.
thanks again, gideon, for this wonderful encouragement.
