I think it would powerful to ask the question of spokanites… Why do you think Spokane is the best place to live on Earth? and see what comes out, and ripples and bounces around.

Somehow i managed to skip over the charrette blog in my Spovangelist updates. Much of my comment on the SVS post also fits here.
- basically just expressing the importance of having a social foundation to branch out from… not unlike getting everyone together in a room, making ties, and realizing shared goals.
Most people have strong desires to share their passions with like minded individuals. I know there are many decisions one must come to on one’s own terms, and certainly goals that must be reached for an individual sense of accomplishment.
However, if only for the sake of motivational influence people must band together. Because it’s only with motivation that anyone gets their shit done. Damn straight. Let’s get campy-cozy!

Interesting political concept and new vocabulary words too!

In reading this post I think the Spovangelist keenly identified a great opportunity: sharing! When high energy folks do a ton of great projects but get burnt out with the lack of teamwork/collaboration it can be daunting to start a new project. Getting people in the same room means allot.

Very excited about this idea – community “think” is awesome, and helps my brain out a lot.

Seen it around a lot in different cities, some even smaller than Spokane, and always wondered why we don’t have cool things like that here. In the words of Keanu Reeves (or at least that’s the voice I’m imagining in my head as I type this), “Let’s do it!”

I am a young entrepreneur looking to get involved in something like this. I’ll keep checking back for updates.

I am the co-founder of Cre8Camp and would be more than happy to help you have one in Spokane.

There are some things that we do different than BarCamp because we felt they fit better with creatives (BarCamp was specifcally developed with technical professionals in mind).

As one potential next step we could create a page for your event at http://www.cre8camp.org/Cre8CampSpokane. It would start with a Cre8Camp template that you can easily edit. It can be hidden from public view while you edit it and prep it.

Feel free to contact me.

Thanks.

That sounds very interesting. I got the opportunity to attend a charrette when I lived on campus at EWU. We were looking into some planning for residence halls. It felt like a very productive meeting and created great enthusiasm. I hope that some enthusiasm gets started around Spokane and connecting the people here. Let me know when you get something underway.

Ashley-
I am one of the organizers for GD and someone referred me to this blog and your comment. Green News travels fast apparently.
Greendrinks is really casual and welcoming. We have no cost or agenda, although we are looking at starting to rotate locations and showcase local businesses doing good works to engage community involvement.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Cassie
