Yoo hoo --- I recall hearing that someone else was still here at Edgefield Manor, flying out tomorrow.... as am I. Wondering about timing and the possibility to share a cab.

I'd like to echo Simon's thanks. It is rare to find an event in which you can find warm welcome, fabulous fun, the chance to take risks and learn so much at the same time. Thanks to the people who worked so hard on this, the wonderful session leaders, the new friends and to the organization that embodies such a wonderful mission. I had a good, tiring, border expanding time. Thanks all you lovely folk!

Thank you all for such a delightful, beautiful, inspiring, and thought/heart engaging experience of the conference. My drive back to "the Canadian Vancouver" was full of contemplations, reflections, ideas, and smiles...

A specific Thank You goes to the two small groups, in two different workshops, where we focused on the example of my client (that self-organizing food co-op). I deeply appreciate your willingness to contribute your attention, focus, and ideas, not to mention the opportunity for me to be "in the center" (something I don't spend a lot of time doing)...

Until the next time, online or face-to-face...

Hi everyone
Just had a therapeutic massage across at Ruby's - well worth the hour long session.
I'll be heading to the Winery to catch Hale Lupe (contemporary folk) at 7pm tonight ... need a crowd to join me!
Also posted this "Edgefield Spa" video for my 3 young boys back home in Oz who are missing me just a little - http://appliedimprov.ning.com/video/edgefield-spa

Hi Trilby, and anyone else using public transit,

Please note that all Red, Blue and Green line eastbound/outbound trains will stop at NE 82nd. Your Amtrak train may be late and you might need other options.

If some folks arriving at the airport have a sense of adventure and don't want to do the taxi thing, you can take the red line INBOUND to 82nd and follow Daniel's directions below from 82nd. There may also be a bus to Edgefield from the Gateway Transit Center - one stop east of 82nd.

If you have a mobile device for the web, you can go to tri-met.org to get trip information. They also have some apps for download to iPhones if you have one.

Don't be afraid of Portland's trains and buses - they work very well, and close to on schedule, almost all of the time.

If anyone arriving Thursday afternoon or later runs into huge transport trouble, please call me at 503.442.7151 and I will see if I can help you out. You can also e-mail me at patrick@comedysportz.com.

I live in town and will be commuting daily, if anyone needs a lift here or there.

Daniel... thank you so much for taking all that time to write that out for me! I am taking note. And, packing lighter! ;) ... Wow... I'll be a seasoned Portland transit person! Thank you and look forward to seeing you there...
