creative communities

i'm really looking forward to tonight's junto on creative communities.  about a year ago, it dawned on me that pretty much everything i was doing was contributing to some emerging community in some way. from being an active part of the neighborhood association where i live, to making a living organizing a global creative community, the focus of most of my energy is spent working with people to work together to achieve goals that we can't achieve individually.  lately, i've been talking with a few people who have an interest in, well, basically combining these two things - place and making - to make a really dynamic collaborative force. hopefully, this junto is progress toward the creation of something kind of amazing in south philly.
