As Hurricane Sandy bears down on the east coast, it was great to see this positive email from our friend, and 350 Maine coordinator, Bob Klotz.

Hi All!

Just a quick note to report in on a few things…reinforcing the reality of things continuing to progress towards an incredible night in Portland on 11/13!
 
Today, we had our first ever 350 Maine Statewide Meeting – quite a success…including a strong commitment to SOLIDARITY – including with the incredible activists in Texas with the Tar Sands Blockade (the attached picture intentionally created to reinforce our support of their courage). 
 
We had quite the turn-out – with LOTS of passion for all things 350…and tremendous excitement for the DO THE MATH Tour. And a great multi-generational vibe…with many students!
 
And – through the magic of Skype: Melodeego!!
 
Wish we had recorded it –  but it was a great chance, during our Do the Math breakout workshop, to talk with Greg, Mark and Peter of Melodeego. Mutual excitement expressed…with an agreement to consider pre-Tour promotion. Appreciate the guys taking the time with us as they were preparing to play at the 350MA Vigil.
 
I’m thinking that their powerful message – and music – will help keep us all grounded with the impending “storm” (both literal and figurative) – and express appreciation for the wonderful experience that has already begun!
 
Thanks to all for making this happen…looking forward to continuing to play together over the coming weeks – and beyond.
