IF you haven’t heard yet, I’m off on a 3 week journey called Shift Across America to the BALLE Conference, a gathering of many of the best and brightest in the local movement.
Along the way I’ll be speaking to over 100 individuals in over 20 cities and towns in America. These people are builiding communities in business, arts and music. Through their work, we are seeing a shift in our local economies and communities.
We’re sponsored by the Weekly Dig, other local businesses and individual doantions. We still haven’t raised all we’ll need but I’m doing it anyway. I have faith it will all work out along the way. If Obama taught us anything its that small donations DO make a difference…’buy me a beer or lunch’ while i’m on the road with a $5-10 donation here
This will be an attempt at modern storytelling using new media, so follow us online as the story is documented in real-time.

Donate: small amounts count too, do it here!
