Thanks Jerri Merritt for sending the link!
Here guys, Matt Taibi on Hunter. Although Matt is no Hunter Thompson, Matt is indeed growing on me, and I wish him the best.
Read Village Voice article here:
Today at Aspen ideas Fest, John Walsh (yes, our very own ESPN John) will be speaking about Sport and Society. Be there or be square. 2:40 Paepcke Auditorium. Be there or be square.
Your friend in Woody Creek, as always,

Ah. It’s good to be home. Isn’t it? Especially when a trip goes beyond your expectations!
Yes, The non profit Certification program was great. DC was great, Georgetown was great. It was insanely great. Total immersion. 10 days of comprehensive insight into the individual and nonprofit sector as a whole. We ended with David Williamson’s instructions on Marketing and Communications:
We know that social media is freight train. You be the judge if it’s a runaway freight train or not. Actually, doesn’t really matter. Some say that your opinion will be obsolete by the time you read this sentence.
Kathy Kretman runs the program at Georgetown of which Social Media was just one section.
The others were:
The Sector as a Whole: Pablo Eisenberg
Governance & Strategic Planning: Michela Perrone
Program Evaluation & Private-Nonprofit Partnerships: Beatriz Boccalandro
Negotiation Strategies: Peter Reilly
Resource Development: Valeria Lassister
Financial Management: Michael Gellman
Volunteer Management: Curtis Cannon
Advocacy in Public Interest: Gary Bass
Like learning a new language (most of the above, I need a lot of help with. Hence: STAFF!), Immersion was best for me. And the info that I got for the last coupe of weeks will be emerging over the summer.
But I couldn’t not post the video.
With all that, it’s great to be home,
Your friend in Woody Creek,

Good Morning! It’s a beautiful day in the Nation’s Capital.
I’m the Nation’s Capital studying at Georgetown U for Nonprofit Management. It’s a comprehensive and intense course: there’s a ton of reading, excellent professors and a good mix of fellow nonprofiters (if that’s a word). I’m looking forward to using what I’ve learned at The Gonzo Foundation and Bridges Between.
Before class, I wanted to wish a Happy Birthday to our own Jim Caruso of Flying Dog Beer who just finished the super Savor Beer-is-the-world events in this city. His quirky and very successful style just won him Entrepreneur of the year as well! No surprise.
We love you Captain Weird!
Happy Birthday!!! See you after class.

Hi guys. my good friend Jerri Merritt is here for her annual talk at the NORML seminar which starts in about an hour. Jerri graciously tolerated the early bird rooster calls this morning and woke up with a smile.
She also took some photos yesterday. Here is her blog post with the photos:
If you don’t know already, Jerri is a criminal defense attorney and a black-belt blogger. She blogs about all things Crime and Justice.
love it.
And Good morning,
