One of the things that perpetually dissapoints me about the Portland “scenes” is why I always see the -same- wonderful faces at events and gatherings. Perhaps it is because some but not all events offer a similar experience, music, DJs, décor… that appeal to the same niche of people.

My vision has always been to bring more good people into this community – and creating abundant vibes, energy, possibilities, prosperity and connections for us all to experience. I know ALL THE RIGHT PEOPLE is lurking ‘around here’ in the NW - they just need to be brought together and activated by a powerful enough catalyst.

I think THIS EVENT is OUR golden chance. Awakenings Native States is something truly different than has ever been offered since I’ve lived Portland: A whole new tempo, energy and diversity of ecological, cultural, spiritual and musical offerings. I am passionately committed to making this more than ‘another party’.

Being intimately familiar with some of the artists who are coming, I feel confident the intergalactic-class talent that Awakening Native States will be showcasing is powerful enough to awaken and enthuse top-quality people, and bring them into our community - IF ONLY THEY SHOW UP AND EXPERIENCE IT.

If you are reading this, it’s too late to back out – you are a critical part of the promotion team. The most important thing I think YOU can do is to dig ‘deep into the pockets’ of your own personal network, and invite people – and not just shyly or half-heartedly. Really twist some arms and persuade conscious people who are usually reluctant to come out for the “techno” or psy-trance events. Tell them that this is something different, THYE WOULD BE INSANE to MISS IT or believe anything else could compare, and that YOU FULLY EXPECT TO SEE THEM THERE, or else it will break your heart!

And we need more help in promoting/marketing this event! If you would like to help distribute flyers at other events, put up posters, or get the message out through other media channels.. such as the internet, radio, or print – CONTACT ME!

I need a couple of semi-partially-dedicated promotion volunteers, with just a few hours of spare time to work with.

Your assistance would be a rewarding way to help out and gain good Merit in by turning people on to something amazing, and help build a vibrant and nourishing NW community…

Thanks,
Brett

    I emailed Elliot separately about this, but I'm happy to distribute flyers and posters down here in Eugene. I'm sure we can get some good folks up for this one.

              Thanks, thanks...I know word went out to KBOO for this event but does anyone know if a release was sent to OPB? If not, I can take care of that , but just let me know so I don't duplicate efforts.

                    Well they do community event updates on OPB 91.5 every morning and afternoon as part of the news during people's commute...some of the events I heard on there this morning make me think we should send something there....we also sent press releases to the Portland Tribune when we did earth day.

                      Also there's a local magazine Natural Awakenings, don't know what their press schedule is like but maybe they have email list or something that they might be interested in promoting this through....here's their info

                      Patrick & Erin Floresca
                      (503) 957-0783
                      Portland@NaturalAwakeningsMag.com
                      PO Box 310
                      Fairview, OR 97024


                      PLUS it would be good to find out if any neighborhood association groups are having meeting this week, usually they're filled with folks who really care about this city and improving it...a good source I think...I will fish around online for some of those.
