[GSBN] International Conference Propsal

[Derek Roff]

I think this is great.  I would be eager to lend my time and help from your neighboring state to the south.  I'm on one of the European strawbale discussion lists, and haven't seen any mention of anyone planning an international gathering in the near future.  They are just beginning to talk about next year's European gathering (which is simultaneously regional and international), so some level of coordination would be worthwhile.  

I've been hankering for another International Straw Bale Conference, ever since I missed out on the 40 pound "consolation squash" awarded at the last one in Canada.  I hope that large vegetables will be well represented in the prizes for this upcoming event.  

Bale on,
Derelict

We had strong enough support to move forward, pitch the idea and then begin preparations. So our First question: Is anyone else  preparing to host the International conference for 2012? Do we have your support and blessing for the International Straw Bale Conference in Colorado, Fall of 2012? Also any folks that are willing to pitch in and help us with the planning, organizing, advertising and such please let it be known to us.
