Did you contribute? It gets pretty repetitive -- but it's often fascinating. It made me want to hang out there.<BR/><BR/>I never have, though I moved to Berkeley almost twenty years ago. And I like a lot of the bands that made Gilman -- Mr T X, among them. <BR/><BR/>The stories about Gilman democracy reminded me of the gay activism I got involved with when I first came out in Sonoma County. We were trying to create community institutions from scratch and I remember interminable meetings where consensus was the goal (the only goal?) ... more democracy than most people see their whole lives! But valuable, ultimately, for what it teaches you about people (one's self included).Glenn Ingersollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674475308395975995noreply@blogger.com
