Erowid Announcement #37
January 16, 2004
Greetings Friends,
We hope you all had a great holiday season. In December we managed the psychoactive mushroom table at the Mycological Society of San Francisco's annual Mushroom Fair. This is the third year in a row that we've participated in the fair, a highly recommended event for those in the SF Bay Area who are interested in fungi of any kind: edible, medicinal, poisonous, or psychoactive.
We're pleased to announce that we were successful in our most recent goal of reaching 800 members by the end of the 2003. Our next goal will be 1,000 members by June 1st.
We're now getting back on track after the holidays, working on a variety of projects, but focusing much of our time on continuing work towards Erowid 3.0.
We welcome submissions, suggestions, criticisms, or corrections at submissions@erowid.org.
peace,
fire, earth, & the Erowid crew
