Last Regular Meeting
All,
This Thursday, October 1st, will be our last “regularly scheduled” meeting at the Phinney Center. We’re sad to close up shop, but the interest in peak oil has waned with last year’s supposed end to the commodity “bubble”, and few people have been coming to our meetings.
On top of that, few viable, useful projects have come out of our work here, so there is little need for a large room and a constant schedule. Despite our efforts to become something else, somehow we’re still mostly an esoteric study group — for now.
So, onward we’ll go: toward free-form meetings at local coffee shops and other smaller spaces, until we see the sort of groundswell of interest and real projects that demand a larger meeting location again.
As before, people who are contributing members of this blog can make a meeting post and fill out the “events” section to set it up as an “upcoming event” on the upper right side of the screen. So, if y’all are interested in organizing your own meetings, you may do so. I hope to see that happening.
Meanwhile, this site will be maintained indefinitely. I’d imagine that the products of an esoteric study group could be shared here online much more frequently than we’ve chosen to share in the past. If anyone would like to increase their contributions to the blog, please let me know and I’ll get you started. So long as what you want to write fits our context and most basic outlook, we’d be happy to host your material here.
I’ll see your Thursday and we’ll have a few beers after.
Cheers,
-Robert
