This Sunday, Feb 22, the urban homestead pioneering Dervaes family (pictured below enjoying a meal at home) is hosting a potluck and screening of two films in Pasadena, CA. If you live in the L.A. area this would be worth attending.
When we were fighting a cell tower near our house I happened, by chance, to see Mr. Dervaes accept an award from the Pasadena City Council while I was waiting for our issue to come up on the docket. I have wanted to see their place in person ever since but at that time they were taking a hiatus from classes and events. This event isn't hosted at their house but it may be our chance to meet them and see their homestead on film.Here are the details from their newsletter:

This sounds really cool. Thanks for alerting me to it. I think my husband and I will be there. We should make sure to meet up!
ReplyDeleteIt wouldbe great to see you there! It is oscar night but hopefully you can make it.
ReplyDeleteYea, I realized it was Oscar night after the fact. I laughed because only a group of urban homesteaders would schedule an event in LA at the exact same time as the Oscars. Happily, we don't really care about awards shows either, so we'll be there. My husband tends to stand out in a crowd because he's so tall (6'9"). So if you see a exceptionally tall blonde guy with a brown-haired woman, that's us!
