Music Video
- Brandon has not yet sent Lori the current version of the music video
Seed Village
- Shelley is getting cold feet about building a backyard cottage when Brandon isn't getting paid
- Brandon is confident he can get a job very quickly
- But he's planning to put a lot of energy into the space catapult prototype as well
- Use the charity fund toward the village?
- Brandon is okay with that, but Shelley isn't sure
- It will take $10,000 to get both as-built plans and conceptual drawings
- Ben would pay 1/3 of that
- Could we skip the as-built plans for now (about $3500), knowing that we need to do it later?
- Or just do as-built for the exterior, which should be much cheaper
- Set a budget for the whole design and construction process of the ADU (expecting it will probably double)?
OnePagePlan
2011 1 Year Goals (draft)
- Village: Start construction on a backyard cottage

- Ben: Maybe we could skip the big book?

- Spiritual practice: Maintain the spiritual practice (weekly service calls, in-person solstice and equinox events) ... this includes Kindred 2011
- Service: $10,000 or 200 hour contribution (or some combination) to a service project that brings life
