Hey kat!

Is this project still going on? I'm heading to the slabs in January to wait out the snowy winter. I heard there's a grand piano at EJ, which is what sparked my interest initially, is it still there? I'm a pianist and was really hoping there would be a piano at the slabs. I got to reading more about the project, would love to come check it out. I may be of some help too with the experience I have. I've been squatting in a small mountain village in Colorado for the past year, where my friends and I have managed to do a few good things: start a highly successful artisan organic local bakery, a bike/ski coop, we've built three community gardens where we grow organic food at 9,000 feet! (we grew into late november last year with two feet of snow on the row covers for the plants), and have been active at fighting local capitalism (US Energy wants to destroy our sacred mountain Red Lady to mine an ore used for the military to kill people! that of which they will not succeed on doing), community dance parties(when we get tickets for noise complaints, we throw another town party to pay for it, pigs lose, we win!) and food/art events... among others, you get the idea.. Do you guys have a garden? I would love to help get one going. I have experience building gardens and hoop houses/green houses, and would like to experiment with making brick ovens..

You guys might know eggplant and raven with their two dogs? I met them this summer and will head out with them.

sounds great! can't wait to play that piano if you guys would be so kind.
are you planning to use fish in the system? it's possible I could look into getting organic topsoil shipped in a big haul truck for free or relatively cheap, in which case would could do a little fundraiser to pay for it... we've paid for very little in the gardens that we've built here, people like to donate when they know they get organic food in return... so with the possibility of a big haul there could be a half acre or more size garden that will feed a big portion of people, irrigation could come from the canal wherever that's at? just some ideas we can have a thinktank later. see ya soon

The only way something like this works is if you have firm rules in place, and that everybody involved puts in a full days work
because there ain't no such thing as a free ride when going off the grid/beneath the surface....

Way proud of what you are doing.
Respect..........
