Our latest experiment, the Adventurist Convergence, occurs this week in Bloomington, Indiana between July 14 and 18. To participate, simply show up at the Monroe County Public Library (303 E. Kirkwood Ave. Bloomington, IN 47408) on Thursday (July 14); an agent there will redirect you to the campsite. If you’ll be arriving at another time, or have any other needs or questions, email crimethincbooking@yahoo.com. Volunteers are urged to come early to help prepare the campsite and assist in other ways. We also still need help providing food for everyone, gathering gifts to offer at Saturday’s Really Really Free Market, and doing just about everything else.
