This was an absolutely fantastic event, and a BIG thank-you to Westender for organizing things. Although this event was in the West End and about the West End, people from all over the city (and from Alabama!!) came to hear people speak with enthusiasm about urban agriculture. This was a group of inspired individuals who see freedom in a seed!

Mike, I might see you at Snake Road on Sunday. Rachel and I are taking her parents who will be visiting from the east coast to Snake Road on Saturday (it will be their first real herping trip and they've never seen a venomous snake in the wild). Provided they like it, we'll probably be back again on Sunday.
