I'm passing this on from the RRFM peeps:
Hey friends,
This is just a friendly reminder that the next Really REALLY Free Market will be held in Dolores Park from 12Noon to 4pm THIS Saturday July 30th.
We'd also like to announce that the website has been reworked by Ray who started coming to the RRFMs and loved it so much he wanted to work on the website. He has added a discussion forum to the website. Here's a note from Ray:
Hi everyone,
Our new discussion forums are up and running on the website. You can
use them to organize carpooling to the RRFM, discuss what you want the
RRFM to be and ways of getting there, and get together with others to
create new projects to support the ideals of the RRFM. The forums are
accessible by clicking on "discussion" on the website
(www.reallyreallyfreemarket.com).
Peace,
Ray
The forums are just getting started now. Please use them as your heart sees fit. Don't be shy if there isn't much going on there yet. Your posting will help it get started!
See you Saturday!
The Really REALLY Free Market!
The Last Saturday of EVERY Month!
Dolores Park 12-4pm
website: www.reallyreallyfreemarket.org
email: reallyfreemarket@mutualaid.org
What is The Really REALLY Free Market?
It's like a large community-wide garage sale, except everything is FREE! Yes, that's right, FREE! Everyone is invitied to bring things to GIVE AWAY!
So this is like bartering or trading, right?
Nope. Bartering and trading go something like this: I've got this great shirt here, what can you offer me for it?
The RRFM goes something like this: I've got this really great shirt here. I don't really wear it anymore, but I'd hate to see it go to waste. Do you want it? Great! Here, it's yours!
Why would i want to do a thing like that?
Because you have to many things already! Because you're just going to throw it away anyway. Because it FEELS GOOD! Do you have things cluttering up your home? Maybe some stuff that you don't use anymore, but you know that someone else would probably love. One person's trash can truly be another person's treasure!
What should I bring?
Bring *your thing* to the RRFM, whatever that is! Material goods, food or drinks, a service to provide, a skill you have that you want to teach to others, a performance, or anything else!
What if I don't have anything to give away?
Everyone has something to give to others. The RRFM isn't just about giving away *stuff.* What is it that you do? Why not come to the RRFM and find a way to do it for others, except this time for free just for the fun of it. As a gift to others, as a gift to yourself. It's a way of reclaiming meaning in your job, to give it as a gift, unmediated by commerce.
Who runs the RRFM?
Well, the RRFM consists of the sum of its participants. The gift you bring to the event, helps create what the event is for others, just as what others bring to the event, creates what the event is for you. That said, there are some folks who came together to help create the structure for the RRFM to work. But it is our hope that soon enough, our role within the RRFM will be the same as everyone else's. That is, that each of us decides our own level of involvement.
The RRFM is yours!
Take advantageous of that. Make it what you want it to be! If you want to see something happening at the RRFM that isn't already happening, than make it happen! If you want to see more people coming to the RRFM, help spread the word! Send emails to your friends, make and distribute flyers (make your own or download them from the website), talk to people about the RRFM.
----
Please help us keep the RRFM a 100% FREE and non-commercial event. Once a month, let's come together and forget about trading, bartering, and money. Leave the business cards at home and remember the joy of giving for the sake of giving. Help us keep Dolores Park clean. If no one takes what you brought, please bring it home with you. If you like what you just read, get involved! Come to the RRFM! Bring your own gifts to share! Spread the info, and get more people involved! The RRFM takes YOU to make it happen.
