1,000 people decended on the mountain town of Idyllwild this past weekend for a 3-day celebration of culture, music and the new internet. Natasha and Deana talked about this experience, Alex's hand in designing the festival, and what it means to be building cultural currency. As Alex is ending his tenure as mayor of FWB, they also talked about lessons learned in the past 2 years standing up FWB, building at the edge of what's possible, and what advice he'd give to other communities like Boys Club. Finally, he ends with a description of many-to-many worldbuilding, vs. one-to-many worldbuilding.
