Gathering neurons

I attended Camp Cascadia last night, AKA the Occupation of Mt. Tabor. If I'm doing food next time I should bring a table, chairs, serving utensils and signs, both researched to provide more data on the underlying cause of the event and publicizing the Guildhall. According to some guy named Jesse I was referred to (though I still don't know how or why *he's* supposed to be an expert) the culprit is a guy named John Glick, who used to have a public service job in which he was responsible for the water-quality study that now as VP of engineering firm CH2MHill he's bidding for the reservoir reconstruction project on. If it weren't for the way he'd slanted the study in the first place, there would *be* no such project.

Big bucks for local politics, but I don't have a good enough handle on it yet and it's not central to what *I'm* trying to do. I want to make the Guildhall succeed, and I know the activity levels are far too low, but I haven't done the homwork yet to figure out what *should* be going on that isn't, or how to make it happen. I'd hoped to use Joseph as my close partner, but he's electing to focus on other things; John just showed up on my radar yesterday, and I don't know if he's suitable yet. So in theory I should just figure out how to work without one. Nice theory; I'll see if I can come up with an application.

I feel that I could be filling in a lot more detail here, but I feel a stronger need to go do something about it. So I'll do that, instead, but if anyone has a direct question, I'm happy to answer.
