The Macklin, Morch Experience

Hello all interested in SELF EXPRESSION!

My name is Tyler Macklin and I represent the
20-Acre Venue Project; a community-run venue established for the soul purpose of
helping you express yourself!

I recently met with local land-owner Brad Mowreader and we negotiated the use of

20 acres of PRISTINE and GEORGEOUS forest land

that Brad owns close to Dexter Park off of Hwy 58. We are turning the land into a

CAMPSITE/SMALL GATHERING AND MUSIC VENUE
TO SUPPORT CHARITY.

Do you have expression? Do you want a place to showcase it? Are you willing to work for it?

YOU ARE INVITED TO
THE FIRST CONTRIBUTER’S MEETING ABOUT THE 20-ACRE VENUE PROJECT

FREE - FREE - FREE - FREE - FREE

The contributor’s meeting will start at 2:00 pm on Saturday, April 19th and last until Sunday, April 20th, 2008. We will meet at Mac Court at the University of Oregon on 18th and University Street. From there you will be given a short briefing of our project ideas and directions to the 20-acre venue. You will be able to leave your car parked at Mac Court for free to carpool, or drive yourself if you feel more comfortable. The venue is approximately a 20 minute drive from UO and you must drive up steep, rugged terrain to enter. Once at the venue you will be treated to:

FREE TOUR OF THE PROPERTY – BONFIRE - LIVE MUSIC FIRE DANCING – ALL NIGHT CAMPING
THE WONDERS OF THE OUTDOORS AND AN EXPRESSIVE, ARTISTIC COMMUNITY!

SAT 4-19 AT 2PM
UNTIL
SUN 4-20!
Come for all or part
please RSVP to Tyler Macklin at Venueproject@hotmail.com

I just went to your guys'es main website and found out that you added an extra "summer" date to the open mic reading at the wandering goat coffee shop on Sept. 29th. You guys just made me sooooo happy that I may just go outside and hug a tree..... ...... but I guess thats not too hard to make me do.... ..... not that its a bad thing..... ..... I hope:( ......(pssssst, you should add this lil' bit of info to your myspace page. also, since this reading is a summer thingie, read the line that follows) Woo Hoo for Indian Summer! This is what John Bradbury had to say about Indian Summer in 1817

"The air is perfectly quiescent and all is stillness, as if Nature, after her exertions during the Summer, were now at rest."

I think he put it better than my "Woo Hoo"

everyone please add me and let me know of anything going on that i can get involved with from now on.

i hope you all have one of your favorite nights of summer tomorrow :)

let me know how it goes.

There is a time
When your tongue cant talk
When all that you do,
Is watched like a hawk

This is when ink runs black
When paper meets steel
When your mind is on track

Like music, words are formed
Tunnel-vision
Ideas are born
Paper gets crinkled and paper gets torn

But you know in your heart
That poetry is the one of the most ancient of arts
Tree hugn whore, if its got bark, its getn some...
