DESCRIPTION:This is the first RRFM of the year. They will be held on the last saturday 
 of each month at the same time & place. Come on out and enjoy the great 
 atmosphere & (hopefully!) sunshine.  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 https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/04/20/96283.php
