* Brandon ... our family is redlined right now ... stretched thin ... just trying to make it through the next week while Shelley is on the wards
* Shelley ... the wards mean I'm working full time and so I'm not getting things done that I would normally do, and Sequoia gets a little crazy because he doesn't see me as much ... this wards is a little better for patient census, but the fellowship that I'm doing is adding a huge amount of work ... really stressful and hard

:In-person service March 31, 10am
== Equinox ==
* There were plenty of people
* People were cheerful
* Lori handled the crowd really well, despite technical glitches (noise level)
* It was really really hard to get all the food ready at the same time, but it worked
** The food was yummy
* All the activities were fun
** Kristianne made a bunch of ribbon streamers so not every had to make their own
** The mural was the best ever!
** The science was well received (yay Ben!)
Tweaks:
* Invest in a new main floor oven for the main floor of the SolSeed EcoVillage, move the current oven to the basement (use it as warming oven)
* Turn Lori to face the other direction
* Maybe put together a small sound system
* Fewer chairs (enough for one row around the outside)
Verdict:
* Fantastico!!!
* Total Smash, I don't think it could have gone any better with the resources we have
