The Atlanta raw food gathering we had all hoped one happen someday finally did, last Friday, July 11th, 2008. I’d love to say that I have a particular talent at building community, or even say that I have unique experience in building community, but, alas, neither of those would be accurate. I spent the bulk of my time trying to figure out how to bring all of the local raw food enthusiasts together that I have met through various online networks. A few on MySpace, a smattering on eat.rawfood.com, a skoche from Facebook, and then, of course Give It To Me Raw. Well, all of those problems were solved when we collectively caught a small case of the Dhru that swept through Atlanta last weekend.

There were pictures taken. (thanks Audry)

A video was produced. (thanks Beth)

In the aftermath, many a blog post was written:

A huge thanks to Chadd! : D; by Sunshine (alright, i’m kinda patting myself on the back with this one)

And a few thanks need to be given:

A special thanks to Jim Thomas of R. Thomas’ Deluxe Grill for taking such good care of us.

And, most importantly, to Dhrumil. My feelings are best summed up by a text message i sent Dhru later that night:

‘Tonight was really inspiring, thanks for helping us see our potential’
