Great looks for a great sound. Lately, I've been thinking how wonderful it is to experience new music from crafty, creative individuals who work together to create a groove that others can enjoy. I first heard "YACHT" while I was on my friends houseboat in N Portland, watching the sunrise for the feeling of serenity. Thanking him for playing music for the occasion, we both entertained the idea of giving a foot massage at the same time as someone in Japan. The thought sparked a whole train and pretty soon we were looking into internet connections we had know idea about. We sought out to share such a bonding experience and were met with discontent. Who would want to share such an intimate experience as touching ones feet? And then it hit me. All of my friends in the office are extremely comfortable with one another. I decided to bring the idea to the office and see if maybe our efforts might help ease the tension, break down our barriers, and create a safe place for communing. Within moments Skip Newberry, our Policy Adviser for Economic Development brought out the web cam and off went our shoes. Operations Manager, Grace Uwagbae brought out the inscence and Amy was quick with the lotion. We contacted several offices internationally with no enthusiasm until finally, out of nowhere, we were suddenly in video conference with the Japanese Permaculture Enthusiasts and were asking them to join us for some fun. We were lucky to be able to communicate and learned various phrases. They told us of their efforts to bridge worlds through community endeavors, urban gardening, and website preparedness. Into 2012, they plan on communicating with people from all across the world wide web. We are creating new bonds through topics like permaculture, new connections through our efforts to reach out, and new friends through group foot-massage therapy online with video feed and laughter. Soon we'll have a new web-site dedicated to the activity. Special thanks to Japanese enthusiasts of permaculture and beyond. Thanks for morning sunrising to the beat of "YACHT". Especially grateful to friends and family who are looking after our women and children, providing quality, nurtritious foods, and opening positive connections and doors through enjoyable dance or lounge music. Go grass-roots, blue or green.

GOD BLESS US ALL!!!!

With peace and prosperity,
Sam Adams
