Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.  I'm jealous.  In a good way.
 
Keep your eyes on the road.

I've never had a day quite like yesterday.  

I live in Chicago, flew to Portland, OR Thursday night and yesterday, spent
from about 8am until 11pm in open space with 3 other people without the
normal "breaks" for meals and such.  Clearly a lot of times meal times at a
conference are continuations of the sessions and topics from the
conversation.  This felt different.  Let me back up.  We're on our way to
WikiSym, a conference (non-open space) in San Diego that starts Sunday.  We
wanted more face to face time in open space so we decided to do this drive.

So leaving Portland, we got out some mailing labels and put our topics on
the dashboard of the van!  We drove to Eugene, about 2 hours away, and
stopped for brunch at the Walnut Street Cooperative, a house where 9 people
live.  The brunch was hosted by two people and several others also joined in
(those here are the right people!) and there were some really amazing
conversatons and beginning friendships and collaborations there.  After
brunch we wanted a photo of all present so someone went to get another
housemate to take it.  When he found out who the travelers were and what we
were doing, he asked if we had 5 minutes to hear about his stuff.  We agreed
and he blew us away for another 20 minutes and Peggy Holman's name came up
as one of his collaborators.  Connections!

Then back in the van, just stops for bathroom and fuel (we had provisions
with us in the van so didn't need to stop again to eat) and we worked
through topic after topic from the dashboard.  I'll have to get a photo of
the dash uploaded, but in the meantime, here are our notes:

What a day!

peace,
ted
