Scout rendezvous (or not)

If you've read the blog post on how the site is selected, then you know that Thanksgiving Council normally picks the dates for one (or multiple) scout rendezvous. For a long time the time and place was a location in an area central to that areas being scouted but also where people could only hang for the afternoon. 

Thanksgiving council called for a three day scout rendezvous from April 18 to April 20. However, just because Thankgiving Council called it doesn't mean anyone has felt motivated to do it. Since no one who plugs into a gathering has a job that requires them to implement a consensus, looks like no one was inspired to focalize a rendezvous in the physical realm.

Snow is still on the ground in most parts of the consensus areas. Given that our consensus area is half the United States, some people I know will be having a technology enhanced get together on Sunday, April 19 at 9pm ET/ 6 PM PT (and the rest of you can figure out the time from there).

If you are out scouting and don't know how to plug into this effort, please email me (k z i r k a t e a r t h l i n k d o t n e t )and I'll hook you up.

Please keep your comments to the point. Any comments advocating violence, sexism or racism will not be published. You don't have to agree with me, but you can't cuss me or anyone else out either. As of 6/11/15 I'm not sure how I will be publishing comments. Too many people just submitting the same comment over and over again and I'm overwhelmed by trying to sort this out. So feel free to comment, but understand I may not be approving all comments.
