Looplore: DIY/Crafts Summer Camp for Grownups
Folklorist Kelley Totten (MA, U Oregon) will soon join the Ph.D. program in folklore at Indiana University. (Welcome Kelley!) Before arriving here, she and some colleagues are organizing the second Looplore event on July 22-24, 2011 at the Indian Henry Campground near Estacada, Oregon. The first such gathering was held last year and it looks like it was a great success. This DIY/crafts/music/food summer camp for grownups looks to be even better this year. To secure the longer term future of the gathering, the organizers have a Kickstarter campaign underway. Even if you are unable to make a small donation to support them, seeing the excellent Kickstarter video that they made is a great way to learn both about the event and about what a wonderful resource Kickstarter is.
