CRAZY URBAN PEOPLES

Oh, those crazy urban peoples - celebrating Independence Day on September 20.

Except it’s not Independence Day; it’s Independents’ Day.  Gay Street and Pearl Alley are set to house over one hundred booths from local artists and organizations, and there’s music too.

Music, art… do gooders.  You’ve seen that?  Okay, how about this:

Feminist Transportation
Drupal
Wearable Technology

The Independents’ Day event will also feature an idea convention in The Vault from noon until 7 pm.  Presenters are invited to come and present whatever brainstorm seems worthy of sharing with the universe.  It’s Mike Reed’s task to organize these presenters (and independent spirits).  When asked about some of those quirky topics, Mr. Reed was candid, “Who knows?  Not me.”

While it might be a little late in the game to sign up as a presenter, it’s not too late to volunteer for the event.  Check out thisisindependent.com to get involved and sign up.
