Turns out that Common Ground actually does exist…

and isn’t some sort of mythical, Athenian story passed through the ages. I went to the town hall meeting @ Cine today and it was definitely the jam 360 (i.e. an all-around, cool experience)! Mayoral candidates for the 2010 election (going down THIS SUMMER!) spoke on issues ranging from recycling to living wage. All quite interesting…even saw a guy from school running.

Anyhow, the bottom line is that I actually met with some folks from Common Ground. I spoke with a Johanna Nicol and a Ben Meyer. Apparently they have had a lot of their staff emigrate to the political Mecca that is Washington D.C. For that reason, I will cut them some slack for being so slack with their responses to my emails.

Next plan of action: meet with Common Ground folks and discuss sponsorship so I can begin legitimately taking donations and move forward with the garden. My funds are SUPER low so I can’t yet buy a spade or a shovel. Maybe I should ask somebody If I can borrow something like that?

If you have a shovel or a spade I could use, hit me up @ thencscg@gmail.com.
