> 
> Dear Friend of Life Regions and Community,
> 
>  Come congregate with us at the DuBose Natural Farm
> on the Little Blanco
> River, to share information, play together and to
> celebrate the life, the
> land and the continuing thread of the community
> building the new character
> of our culture in the Texas Hill Country. Three
> auspicious days :
> 
> Friday the 13th, Saturday, Flag Day (who knew?), and
> Fathers Day Sunday. The
> *Spring 2008 Bioregional Campout*, June13-15 focus
> upon "*Nurturing the
> Sustainable Tradition*".
> 
>   As the *un*sustainable, exploited land(usages) and
> community, realize that
> we have again been done a huge favor, once more in
> our ongoing relationship
> with each other we are watching and sculpting as
> life shakes itself
> out, discarding what is not useful on our way to
> just and joyous culture.
> 
>    As we've done so often, we will gather Friday,
> mid-afternoon to prepare
> the site, find places to pitch a tent, or throw our
> cot, bedroll or palette,
> and begin our week-end. This is the area around
> Blanco, which is also
> celebrating the "*Lavender Festival*" on this
> weekend, so notice as you
> drive, and perhaps come early to drive around
> Blanco. One disappointing bit
> of news: the unusually late winds, together with the
> heat has the usual
> Little Blanco River swimming holes all dried up, but
> other places are within
> walking distance. The past few seasonal campouts at
> the DuBose Farm have
> been well attended, fun, informative and joyfully
> and gratefully received.
> 
>    Bring musical instruments, food to share (pot
> luck), maybe a $5 per car
> donation, whatever you want to sleep in or on. There
> are places to sleep on
> floors with ceilings and roofs. Some cooking
> facilities, a wood-burning hot
> tub and sauna and lots of fun folks – no dogs
> please.
> 
>       Come open to sharing your experiences,
> thought, and optimism. COME TO
> THIS FUN IMPORTANT COMMUNITY EVENT IN THE COUNTRY!
