    Wouldn’t miss it.

  • Dwight Lindley

    Looks wonderful! Have enough fun for the rest of us.

  • Adam Nicholson

    I’m there!

  • Zac Gappa

    This looks amazing! I wish Kristen and I could make it. Hopefully next year.

  • Peter Daniel Haworth

    The conference schedule is excellent. I hope to attend.

  • And yet another temptation to fly across the country increasing my carbon footprint to commune with others discussing localism and human scale. Or better yet “mobility and the crisis of community”.

  • T. Chan

    Will someone be making audio recordings of the sessions?

  • I so, so wish I could attend this. I hope you all have a marvelous time!
