I just got back from an amazing weekend at the Philadelphia Folk Fest where I worked on the Greening Campaign. It’s a first year project to work to make the Folk Fest more sustainable. My partner in crime was Todd Henkin of the band the Great Unknown. It was a really cool collaboration between two artists who are working to make our city more sustainable. We made some great advancements and really rooted ourselves in the Festival for next year to make even more progress. This is just another example of spreading those seeds of discent farther into the fields of Philadelphia culture and hopefully beyond.

I was selling books at the fest. But if you happened to miss them, rememebr that you can pick one up through this website.

Hey all,

Please join me for a reading from Seeds of Discent this Thursday at Blue Marble Books in the Mt. Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia (551 Carpenter Lane). The reading starts at 7 and will include a discussion of the book from both the philosophical and literary interpretations. I hope to see you all there.

This weekend’s tour to Pittsburgh and back was an amazing time spent on the road. I spent Friday night at the home of one of my kickstarter supporters, Ms. Karen Antonelli. She was a wonderful host and the crowd she gathered at her home was really amazing. We shared stories, talked about the concept of Discent, and ate some very tasty food.

Karen was also kind enough to tour me around Pittsburgh to see all of the urban ag projects they have going out there, along with the beautiful garden and orchard she planted on her property. I finished up my trip in the State College area staying at the beautiful country home of some friends, and speaking at the lovely Lemont Cafe. Once again, it was inspiring to see all of the projects going on in that town as well and to meet all of the people who came out to hear me speak.

I can certainly see that the concept of Discent is not something that just exists in my mind. Those seeds have been planted in much of the soil of Pennsylvania. And I’m inspired to see what is growing from it.
