Save the date, save the time, save the evening to reconnect, connect, and network, support Rick, support local bookstores, and stimulate your brain, and maybe retouch some of your touchstone values.

Rick will be at the Laughing Horse Collective bookstore at 7pm on Tuesday, 11 May. Download this PDF Flier for more information and to post and distribute far and wide. I know Rick is looking forward to reconnecting with his friends in the area and in meeting some new folks, so please spread the word, and Rick’ll be looking forward to seeing you there.

As you may notice if you have visited before, the site is undergoing a major overhaul. It should be significantly easier to navigate and give you a lot more access to rich content soon. Please bear with us in the meantime, stop by frequently to check out new features, and feel free to leave comments and suggestions for the new design.

Thanks,

Calendar and New Links

I’ve just managed to fix the Calendar (all the way on the right) — it doesn’t have quite the same cool stylings, but the times are correct, which is more important.

And for your reading and listening pleasure, please check out:

an article in the Canyon Courier (Rick’s hometown paper)
Rick’s great interview on Free Radio Santa Cruz
and a review on TCM Reviews.

Don’t forget this Thursday (10 Dec., 2009) at 6pm, there will be a celebration and discussion at the Jefferson County Open School (map), complete with book signing.

Don’t Forget, Hearthfire Books Event Tomorrow!

Rick will be signing the book, talking about the book, and there will be wine and cheese and great company. Hearthfire is in Bergen Park, so it isn’t far for Evergreeners, Denver Folk, or Upmountain people. Here is their site with more info: http://hearthfirebooks.com/ , and here is a google map for your convenience. We’re looking forward to seeing you there.
