Hello Everyone,

It is now time to focus our efforts within our counties, our towns, and our neighborhoods! We are planning many awesome things for the coming year and can’t wait to see the movement spread through the state like wildfire. We plan to build up our subchapters and if a county has nobody active we will go there and have a “Z-Day” there to spread the word, get people active, and make ourselves known statewide. We are talking about barbeques and pot lucks, these will start out as chapter get-togethers but if made open to the public would be a great place to start a conversation.

First off I would like to set up a Snohomish county meeting and would like to start talking about a location and time to get together and start brainstorming for county focused action. We need to come up with ideas to spread awareness and information to everyone in the state. We need to get active in local events with people handing out fliers or setting up booths or just talking to people. AmPmGuy is setting up an adopt a highway and adopt a trail project and we will need volunteers 4 times a year to pick up garbage on the highway or one of the many trails our beautiful state is blessed with. We would like to set up as many of these state wide as possible to get people asking what is zeitgeist…

I will be working hard as the new volunteer subchapter coordinator in the coming weeks building websites and setting up lines of communication with our members state wide to facilitate more coordinated action and focused efforts. I hope this year is the year this movement explodes, and we need to be the catalyst for this to happen. The United States will be the hardest nut to crack for this movement but the west coast is the best place to hit this nut! We must ignite this movement in Washington and spread the fire into Oregon and California; we may be a lot of small sparks now but with GLOBAL climate change and GLOBAL economic collapse in full swing the fire is all but inevitable. Once the west coast becomes millions of members united in spreading awareness the whole country will be much more receptive to some of our more radical ideas… “You really mean no money?” “Nobody owns anything?” “We can easily provide for 15 billion people?” “We can survive without fossil fuels?” …and much less leery of the movement as a whole, or they will call us a bunch of tree hugging hippies as the rest of the world unites around them for the sake of their children and their great grand children’s children.

Again, lets plan a meeting for Snohomish county ASAP and think about a BBQ or hosting a local pot luck at some park or someone’s place. I was thinking about doing something at church creek park in Stanwood but if anyone has a better idea let’s hear about it on the forums! 

Peace and love to everyone!

Talk to ya later,

Hello Everyone!

Z-Day was great, can’t wait until next year! There were a few issues that will need to be kicked in the ass very early on next year, but next year should be an entirely different monster! We had lots of good music and great conversation throughout the day and the whole event was very exciting. We need to do these things more often, I agree with Michael that we should try a monthly event of that scale or close to it but we should also look at ideas like Barbeques and such. More to come for sure!

We will be having a chapter meeting on the 21^st in Seattle to talk about zday+1week and our next steps, this should be at Broadview Library and announcements will come soon. I would also like to have a Snohomish county meeting in the next few weeks and will be contacting everyone about this very soon.

Some of us will be working on expanding the state chapter to great new heights in the next few months but I think we all need to focus on smaller and smaller areas now! We are all leaders here and we need to start acting like it. We need to work on our counties, our towns, and our neighborhoods. We need to get these grass roots spreading and each of us is a plug. I want us to have at least one project per week going on in Sno_Co by the end of the summer and preferably before the end of the spring; even if it is reserving a library room for a day and showing movies or engaging other groups in the area. Lets see if there is something we can do for the growing numbers of homeless and hungry in the area, we may not be able to solve the problems today but we should come up with some really out of the box ideas and see if any of them would float. Let’s think up some new ideas for spreading awareness. Let’s just come up with some shit we can do to improve our communities. We need to gear up quick people, we have to use our current momentum to our every advantage!

We now need to start our build up of our county sub chapters and preparations for the release of Zeitgeist III and the Venus World Tour. We have lots to do so lets get some plans in the works!

Talk to you all very soon!
