New caravan started

[brycen]

I have just joined the Next 1000 pledge to move to NH by the end of Sep 2011. I am organizing a caravan, which I call the Next 1000 Liberty Caravan, which I have created an event for on Facebook.

I know this is still a long way away but I don't see any reason to not start getting people on board now.

I posted more about this on the Free State Project Forum.

It's going to be fun helping 1000 people unload their things in to their new homes.  ...

Only 800. Close to 200 people have signed up  for the Next 1000 and presumably most will have moved before then.

Just adding a dose of realism to your wonderful optimism.

Great idea, Bryce. It'll be good to see you here for good!

I couldn't see any reason to start a new thread.

My Liberty Caravan plans are still set for September. I plan to leave September 7 from visiting family in Colorado, with arrival in New Hampshire set for September 16.

I am looking for people to sign up for the caravan - I don't know if many people who have not moved used this forum but it doesn't hurt to put out the word.

My caravan's website is libertycaravan.org. I plan to post daily updates during the trip. I hope some people will check up on my progress.

On the 16th when I arrive, I would like to have some kind of social gathering / greeting in 2 or 3 locations - Keene, Manchester, and Portsmouth, where I will be working. I plan to post this on FSP and FK forums as well. Does anyone want to greet the Caravan and welcome a group of new movers (I hope it will be a group, no one has signed up to join me yet but a couple from NC may be traveling with me the last day)?

I bet you can plan an event for yourself and some party...ers will show up

[brycen]

Yeah, I'll probably do that in a few days, just gauging interest at this point.

I've started creating Facebook events for the meetups I want to have with the Liberty Caravan. So far I've only posted the 4 with the greatest chance of having people come -

Denver on     Sep 7, 7 pm
Chicago on    Sep 12, 7 pm
Keene           Sep 16 noon - 2
Manchester   Sep 16 5-8 pm

I plan to add more along the route of the caravan when I get a chance, but I really need to focus on packing up my stuff the next couple of days.

For the Facebook links, see my Liberty Caravan meetups page: www.libertycaravan.org/Meetup.

Homeward bound.

I'll probably post some more events for smaller cities along the way, tomorrow.

[brycen]

Breaking news! Keene event location has been nailed down, it is at the Keene Activist Center.

[brycen]

Six additional meetups planned. These are for smaller cities than the other two I posted outside of NH, but I am hopeful of reaching some people to come to these. If they don't all happen that is fine but I want to meet as many local groups as possible on the Caravan.
