Where in Oregon do you live? Have you found the green wizards forum (www.greenwizards.info - click Forum from top right pulldown), if you read JMG's blog? We have a Pacific NW topic where those of us who are in the area are planning to get together and meet face to face. You might be interested.<br /><br />I don't mind sharing my email, but would like just a bit more info about you first... if you don't mind - just first name and where (approx.) you live? I'm just trying to weed out clever spam - and believe me, those spambots have gotten very clever over the years!!

The importance of song, and the culture somewhat tribal, but with elements of our era's remains seemed especially realistic as a society where industrialism was forced into a full retreat.<br /><br />I would love any critique or commentary you might have on some of my entries. they are at thejuniperlog.blogspot.com.
