The Rhizome Collective is a consensus-run 501c3 nonprofit organization that has operated a center for community organizing and urban sustainability in an East Austin warehouse since 2000. This warehouse was inspected on March 3rd by officials from the Building and Standards Commission of the City of Austin. On Thursday, March 5th The Code Enforcement Division of The City of Austin delivered a letter outlining a list of code violations to the Collective. The City mandated that the residents and organizations based in the warehouse must vacate before March 16th. The Collective is looking into all options, but is preparing to vacate the warehouse by the deadline. Before this inspection, the Collective was in negotiations to buy the warehouse from its current owner.

Give me libraries or give me debt - In war time they take the libraries-!!

It seems like 90% of the folks we stay with bring up travel journals that remind them of our trip. John Steinbeck's 'Travels with Charlie' is among the more popular ones.<p>Never having read any of the road journals mentioned to us by our gracious hosts, and declining the offer to read, and/or hear, about said travel journals... You see, we really don't want to be influenced or deterred when completing our book of travel stories.<p> Funny thing is... we can't seem to get away from them... in Austin,Tx. we ran into the original Kerouac manuscript, and when staying near Monterey California's cannery row things were no different... Steinbeck this, Steinbeck that.<p> Then we remembered the libraries in his hometown of Salinas, Ca. were threatened with closure a while back... in general another thing we try and stay away from is stories that have been told... good thing for us this one is still unfolding.<p> Find out more here: And if you care, keep an eye on this.. it looks like the political vultures might pick the library's funds clean once again.<p> Libraries are most important in areas of the working class and undereducated... let those go and you will feel it in EVERY zipcode, not just the ones you use and abuse.

Roswell, New Mexico may be known as a UFO crash site, but it is also home to one of the most unique artist communities on this planet. For 40 years, the very best visual artists in the world have been welcomed into tiny Roswell to work, and learn, and relax, in an artist compound that truly is extraordinary. The Roswell Artist-in-Residence program offers the "Gift Of Time" courtesy of local oil tycoon and founder Don Anderson, who decided art was more important than yachts, caviar, or a Rolls Royce. The Anderson Museum showcases pieces from every artist in residence, and the collection rivals any big city art museum on this planet or any other. find out more at: http://www.rair.org/ Distributed by Tubemogul.
