The '''Spring Equinox Festival''' on March 16th, 2013, was held simultaneously in both [http://www.meetup.com/SolSeed-Ottawa/events/105060762/ Ottawa] and [http://www.meetup.com/SolSeed/events/105061712/ Portland].  It started at 18:00 EDST in Ottawa with a Suishi Feast and continued at 19:00 EDST/16:00 PDST with storytelling via Skype.  We overcame the technical difficulties with skyping together two separate parties reasonably quickly and shared two stories across the continent:
*[[Eric]] shared [[The Parable of Gaia's Grandchild]]
*[[Ben]] shared a [[Batfolk origin story]] from his planned webcomic [[Flight in a Cage]]

After the Skype call broke up, the Portland group had some other stories:
*[[Brandon]] shared his [[story about a cat]]
*[[Shelley]] shared a story from her own life
*[[Sequoia]] and [[Ted]]'s son Shogi (or was it Max?) shared their story about things falling over and breaking
*Steve (Ben's father) talked about the history of the giant [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus nautilus], and shared a story about an acorn written and illustrated by Abigail (Ben's sister)
