DESCRIPTION:Last month's RRFM was a great start to the year- there was a great 
 atmosphere, good weather, and lots of cool stuff. Hope everyone can make it 
 this month!  The website, which has discussion boards, flyers, and 
 pictures, will be up sometime this week at http://www.sf-rrfm.org  What is 
 The Really REALLY Free Market?  It's like a large community-wide garage 
 sale, except  everything is  FREE! Yes, that's right, FREE! Everyone is 
 invitied to  bring things to GIVE  AWAY!  So this is like bartering or 
 trading, right?  Nope. Bartering and trading go something like this:  I've 
 got this great shirt here, what can you offer me  for it?  The RRFM goes 
 something like this: I've got this  really great shirt  here. I don't 
 really wear it anymore, but I'd hate to  see it go to waste.  Do you want 
 it? Great! Here, it's yours!  Why would i want to do a thing like that?  
 Because you have to many things already! Because  you're just going to  
 throw it away anyway. Because it FEELS GOOD!  Do you have things cluttering 
 up your home? Maybe some  stuff that you  don't use anymore, but you know 
 that someone else  would probably love.  One person's trash can truly be 
 another person's  treasure!  What should I bring?  Bring *your thing* to 
 the RRFM, whatever that is!  Material goods, food  or drinks, a service to 
 provide, a skill you have that  you want to  teach to others, a 
 performance, or anything else!  What if I don't have anything to give away? 
  Everyone has something to give to others. The RRFM  isn't just about  
 giving away *stuff.* What is it that you do? Why not  come to the RRFM and  
 find a way to do it for others, except this time for  free just for the  
 fun of it. As a gift to others, as a gift to yourself.  It's a way of  
 reclaiming meaning in your job, to give it as a gift,  unmediated by  
 commerce.  Who runs the RRFM?  Well, the RRFM consists of the sum of its  
 participants. The gift you  bring to the event, helps create what the event 
 is for  others, just as  what others bring to the event, creates what the 
 event  is for you.  That said, there are some folks who came together to  
 help create the  structure for the RRFM to work. But it is our hope  that 
 soon enough, our  role within the RRFM will be the same as everyone  
 else's. That is, that  each of us decides our own level of involvement.  
 The RRFM is yours! Take advantageous of that. Make it  what you want it  to 
 be! If you want to see something happening at the  RRFM that isn't  already 
 happening, than make it happen! If you want to  see more people  coming to 
 the RRFM, help spread the word! Send emails  to your friends,  make and 
 distribute flyers (make your own or download  them from the  website), talk 
 to people about the RRFM.  ----  Please help us keep the RRFM a 100% FREE 
 and  non-commercial event. Once  a month, let's come together and forget 
 about trading,  bartering, and  money. Leave the business cards at home and 
 remember  the joy of giving  for the sake of giving.  Help us keep Dolores 
 Park clean. If no one takes what  you brought,  please bring it home with 
 you.  If you like what you just read, get involved! Come to  the RRFM! 
 Bring  your own gifts to share! Spread the info, and get more  people 
 involved!  The RRFM takes YOU to make it happen.\n
