February 19/20th 2011 sees the third ARC (Alternative Research Community) convention, once more to be held in Bath. Rather unfortunately, I shall not be there, but I attended the first two weekends, and cannot recommend them highly enough! Friendly atmosphere, stimulating people, well-presented talks from folk at the forefront of independent research into the things that the Guardian and BBC just don't want to know exist. And all hosted by the irrepressible Karen Sawyer.
There are probably not a lot of weekends in the course of a lifetime that can alter its trajectory, but a couple of days at the ARC convention can do just that. In my less modest moments, I like to think that Pale Green Vortex shares in the same spirit as the ARC conventions, that of 'looking outside the box' in the search for greater authenticity, greater understanding, and deeper meaning. Hey, who created the box anyway?!
My thanks and gratitude to those who have actively participated in these events. For any reader who has yet to experience their magic: get on down there!
