Is perspective, in conversation and outlook.  Vytas and Clair throw GREAT parties.

Where else can you have a mix of interesting subcultures such as organic demonstration farmers, massage therapists, NASA scientists, musicians, dancers, etc.    I left at about 1:30, just as the band was warming up.  I had some great discussions about:

Wide versus Deep Community
Etomology of the word "Tag" as it relates to sheep, and "dagging"  (Based on a costume)
Educational Theory and why the first year  of teaching sucks so bad
Experiences in life, and memories of such things as being a ugly stepsister with Vytas, meeting at Pennsic and why a short (less than 10 minute) can make you realize you want to bond for life;
The possibilities and problems of throwing a trance party in a hanger at Moffett field (GREAT pictures)
Singing with the guy who owns all the tanks up in the hills;
The consuming passions of burning man
the relative merits of scotches
Weddings and Ms. Manners
The neccessity of Style in robot design

And I'm sure there's more possible... as they say on the WWW, Woot!

I want to...
Practice my drumming.
Sign up for the Hidden Villa CSA (got the form) and go help tend the veggies
Build one of those many projects I've been dreaming of...perhaps a watertower (SCV style) for a Burning Man camp?  Perhaps a Victorian Pirayte Bungalow on wheels?

EXERCISE!
