I went. It was the
best nouveau-hippie event I’ve been to in years.  Groovy, man.  All farming done
on above ground soil boxes on asphalt, lotsa chickens, too—right in heart of
urban center. Neat, interesting, friendly, alternative people all shapes and
sizes having fun and hanging out. Gotta get this in Akron . 
 
Best regards
