Erowid Announcement #71
Sep 28, 2006
Friends of Erowid,

It's been a busy month trying to catch up with all of our projects after returning from Burning Man. We had a great time on the playa, and we enjoyed meeting those of you who stopped by. With the exception of a neighbor's flying shade structure smashing the windshield of a camp member's rental van, it was a good year. The Speaker's Corner talks in the Erowid dome were a great success, and the dome was packed for nearly every talk.

Three of us from Erowid will be presenting at the upcoming North American Congress of Clinical Toxicology taking place in San Francisco October 4-9. It should prove to be an interesting event and we're looking forward to participating.

As usual, we welcome submissions, suggestions, criticisms, or corrections at submissions@erowid.org.

peace,
fire & earth
