permaculture

[Greg <Greg@urbanfarm.org>]

Keith,

Interesting program.  This kind of opportunity speaks to me.  It is 
however a truly permaculture event as there will be protracted 
observation with it, b/c it is sold out for 2008.  Will have to stay 
on top of it for 2009.

> there are many shorter pieces of content, including music, performance
> and comedy. There are no breakout groups. Everyone shares the same
