Organic Poetry hosted by Cleopache
"Organic Poetry" is a monthly improv jam by poets & musicians alike that seek out those creative sessions. It is a co-collaborative forum for those fresh poets new-to-the-scene, as well as veteran wordsmiths, that have personal goals to build out their own performance poetry style. This event is especially for talented musicians that crave opportunities to jam with performance poets. They are out there !

Coming in March 2003 (hey, that means now!), Docu-crew

Docu-crew is an organization launching in March 2003, made up of individual
volunteers interested in creating locally generated information, media, and
history.

Want to be a camera person? Want to edit video? Want to get your
information out? Want to realize alterative video sources for the valley's
knowledge and history bases?

Cool, so do a lot of other people, let's do something about it!

For online discussions of the nature, shape, roles, and
even name of the group, visit www.strivedreams.com --> Forums --> Docucrew

All projects are to be voluntary, all participation is to be voluntary.
Create because you want to, let the ideas succeed on the weight of the idea.
