It was really great working with everyone today.. There were so many folks that I did not know.. it continues to amaze me that I can still be meeting new makers in such a small state after being at it so long. It gives me hope that there will be great creativity, fellowship and economic good that comes from getting more of us together at a place like generator.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_7471.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">YOu can get a feel for the whole day by watching this timelapse I took..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 note the painting and building !<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/83401926\" height=\"280\" width=\"500\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/83401926\">generator setup<\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/user10217959\">john cohn<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It felt good to be helping transform this space..
