SolarFest 2008

We spent the weekend at SolarFest in Tinmouth Vermont. Both Colleen and I volunteered for our pass and besides good work received a t-shirt and 2 meals a day! Colleen worked in the volunteer kitchen while i was a roving A/V tech making sure the presenters laptops syched up with the projectors and that the mics worked. Ambiana just hung out in the Kid Korner all weekend and rocked out to the good music!

There were lots of good workshops on all things solar and sustainable. We got some good ideas about what kind of house we'd like to build once we find land and we met some really nice people. Vermont is a really interesting place, I though Alaska was the coolest place on earth but may now have to re-consider. Community is really big here as is uniqueness and sustainability plus there are beautiful mountains and clear cold streams to swim in!

Teleion Holon Farm Again!

We ran into our friends from Teleion Holon Farm at the Festival, Kat and Theo and some new WWOOFers! Ya rocked out with them to BonePony a rockin' band from Nashville.

After the Festival we headed back to Teleion Holon Farm to spend a couple of days with Bonnie, Oliver, Guv, Talula and Kat and the rest of the WWOOFers. We slept in our tent and were kept awake both nights by the inarticulate growing of some strange terrifying beast. Colleen thinks it is the farms new dog, other opinions range from bobcat to werewolf, whatever it was it sounded SCARY We helped out for two days doing everything from weeding to organizing and some website work. It is insanely fun to be a part of this busy farm! Sadly we leave again today to head north on our continuing "Find-A-Home-in-Vermont" roadtrip tour but we are happy to know we already have good friends in Vermont!


Ambiana rocks it OUT!!!
