Winter...finally.

Have you ever noticed that when the skies dump piles of snow upon us, the goodwill of everyone holed up in their homes tends to double itself? Neighbors leave their warm homes to dig out cars, shovel paths for the mail carrier, push cars stuck in drifts and offer any services that help those trapped in the beautiful mess. We'd say the RRFM is an extension of this sort of cooperation more than vice-versa, but we are glad to play a part regardless. The goal, for us anyways, is to always seek out new ways to extend this obligation-free sort of cooperation, without extending a hand for payment, but only for the satisfaction it gives to everyone involved. Consider that reward if you are stuck or know others who are stuck still tomorrow.

Take care. Go sledding. See you in a few weeks.

Beuhler?

Ok, so maybe y'all are more readers than you are talkers. That's cool. We just hear so many good, interesting stories DURING the RRFM that we thought it would be neat to share some of them to those who couldn't make it. That's ok, as long as the stories keep coming we'll be happy.

Speaking of the next RRFM, we think we might have a DJ slotted to entertain us through at least part of the day. Also, some of you may have noticed the space issue that developed last month. Part of that was due to a larger attendance and part of it was due to, well, let's just say a "dominant" personality. Regardless, this month the floor will be opened up a little bit more and the possibility of extending the RRFM into the upstairs might also be available.

In other happenings, Autonomous the Octopus (our RRFM mascot) is being fleshed out, so to speak, and we'll hopefully have something to post in the coming weeks.

Until next time, enjoy the snow!

Enough about us...what about you?

With two successful months of RRFMing under our belts (and many more to come) we, the instigators, find ourselves sitting around reflecting on all of the amazing items and services that have been freely given and graciously received. We've talked amongst ourselves, with others and no doubt filled your inboxes with plenty of updates regarding all of this. You know what we saw come through the RRFMs, you've heard what we feel were the highlights of the events. Now, however, we want to hear your side of the story! What really cool items did you see pass through the Earth House doors on the third Saturday of the last two months? What did you really want but couldn't cross the room fast enough to get to it before someone else called it their own? Did you enjoy the atmosphere? What was the highlight of your experience at the RRFM? What would make your experience even better than before? You can either respond in the comment section of this post or e-mail us at indyrrfm@gmail.com. Either way, we would love to hear your story and we'll be sure to create a post of compiled RRFM love letters in the very near future!

Looking forward to all of your responses!
