Friendly Reminder - Invitation to the 2009 OpenSpaceInstitute-US Annual Meeting

Sat Dec 5 07:07:52 PST 2009

Hi folks - I am not sure that I can make this electronic occasion, but I did
have a thought. As you all know, Open Space began with two martinis. Given
the current price of Beefeaters Gin in the USA, 1 million dollars would
provide for approximately 1,584,000 martinis which should be sufficient for
792,000 people. That would open a lot of space and doubtless take us in some
interesting new directions.
