So as those of you in the Cleveland area know (and those others of you who ignored the instructions in the previous post) this past weekend we had our Salon and boy was it a success. In fact even the first night blew away our expectations. Right from the start we had a full crowd and tonnes of constructive conversation. It's something we will definitely be bringing back next year, if not sooner. The best part of all was that we had almost no issues with keeping it civil. Not everyone agreed all the time, but everyone was there with the same goal in mind so that helped.
In the next couple weeks we're going to take a step back and digest what happened, what worked, what didn't and figure out what the next steps are. In the mean time if you want to continue the conversation head on over to The Civic Commons and keep it going.
Special thanks go out to Mark from The Cleveland Hostel for providing us with some awesome wooden chairs that fit the mood just right, my mother, Emily Lucas, for letting us have her old couch and my brother, Brendan Lucas for helping us move it to and from and last, Peter Paras for covering our floors and Don Pavlish for providing us with a much needed sound system.
Don't worry, we're going somewhere with this. There's still plenty left to do.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled uncertainty.
