feeding freshly caught abalone (with some lime juice), raw, to the crowd; this was my favorite moment

Bradford Reed live at the Pyramid Atlantic, Silver Spring MD. 3apr10. Event was curated by DC Sonic Circuits: 2nd installment in the "Off the Grid" series of unplugged and/or battery powered experimental music performances (in this case, solar powered).

There was no running water, just a well to draw water and a stove to heat it on. The loo was a very clean and non-smelly compost toilet.

Having met just moments before, we found ourselves welcomed guests of Raimundo, a man who valued his peaceful, simple lifestyle on the banks of the Amazon river.

Owners/builders Charlie Weiss and Katharine Lawrence work in the kitchen while their daughter Julia plays with Jenny on radiant heated concrete floors in their new certified LEED platinum home. Captured rain water is heated with the help of a groundwater heat pump, powered by photovoltaic solar panels, which then flows through tubes in the floor. The concrete is partially made with fly ash, a byproduct of coal burning.

We went to Off the Grid's Picnic at the Presidio for supper. It was a cool evening with a chilly breeze twenty-or-so food trucks and hundreds (if not thousands) of hungry people on the Presidio's Main Parade Ground for the weekly event.
