Hey friends,
This is just a friendly reminder that the Really REALLY Free
Market will be held in Dolores Park from 12Noon to 4pm on Sunday, 9/25. Normally it's supposed to be held on Saturday, but due to the antiwar march and the Loveparade this month it will be held on Sunday.

Don't forget to check the forums and discuss any ideas you have for the RRFM, at www.reallyreallyfreemarket.org!

See you Sunday!

The Really REALLY Free Market!
The Last Saturday of EVERY Month! (Except for this 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.
