Here we are in New Orleans

Sometimes it seems when you organize large-scale proejcts or events that they seem always distant, like you have plenty of time to make all the arrangements; it's not about procrastination, it's jsut that when you have eighteen months or three years toplan something, you seem to get used to be happening "sometime in the future." 

That is "sometime in the future" until you wake up one morning and you're looking at it... from the day before. 

Welcome to where we are right now!  The day before.

The bones are packed and on the truck.
We have a most amazing venue in Congo Square, which you can, and should, learn more about here, and here.
We have powerful speakers including Eric Ndaheba and Claude Gatebuke
We've got food and water, tents, and drummers, and a film crew.
We've got dozens of people to thank, and we'll have a comprehensive list for you, here, next week. 

Whever you are tomorrow at 10am central time, think about us and our 200 volunteers, laying bones and reclaiming them in Congo Sqaure.
