february 12 &19 set lists - radio for tough times in a boom town

Hi everyone;

Here I am again, back to my old delinquent-posting ways. Blah blah excuses blah, blah deblah blah better next time blah.

February 12 2009 - Calgary Dollars!

Kirti Bhadresa from Calgary Dollars was kind enough to come down for the second half of this show, and tell us all about the benefits of building and participating in a local economy. Everything you've ever wanted to know about Calgary $, as well as a tonne of resources on local economies and currency systems, can be found at their website - also look for their monthly newsletter that comes out with fast forward, Calgary's awesomest free weekly paper. If you don't live in Calgary and would like to learn more, look for a local currency project in your area, or build one yourself!
