Come meet the Vermont Independence Candidates !

And hear our most excellent home-grown, all-Vermont Funk band, Electric Sorcery !! Playing 2:00 PM at the historic Gathering Inn, Hancock, Vermont !

The doors of sound have been ripped off the hinges by Electric Sorcery who routinely electrify Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. Towns are regularly woken out of their slumber by the by the wicked sound of this power trio.

Electric Sorcery takes psychedelic music firmly rooted in the 70s and adds their own special twist. Funky rhythms and psychedelic guitar riffs come together to create an intriguing sound that is sometimes very heavy.... This is a fun listen and anyone who gravitates towards the psychedelic sounds of the 70s needs to hear this… - SeaOfTranquility.org

It seems like everyone has too much stuff they don't need (yet could really use some of those items their neighbors don't want: the trash-to-treasure paradox of the yard sale!).

Thomas Naylor: FEATURE: Imagine Free Vermont, The Switzerland of North America

If Vermont were to secede from the United States of Empire and become an independent nation-state, how could it possibly survive as a separate republic? How would it function?

Carl Etnier: TRANSITION TIMES: Vermont On Track To Be First Transition State

Noted Peak Oil author Richard Heinberg quietly visited Vermont in April and spoke in Montpelier at a day-long gathering of the state’s Transition Town leaders.
