the cob movement

i found an entry about a documentary called First Earth on Pogo Cafe's blog. Here's a segment of the documentary,




i found it to be incredibly inspiring, the fact that it is so simple to do and that almost anyone can do it, that is been done for hundreds if not thousans of years.  i think it'd be awesome tobuild one of these structures here in london.  maybe i could pursue that.  if you feel inclined, watch the other eleven parts to the documentary, it is definitely worth it.  at one point in my life, i will build one of these structures. i've made a promise.

the pogo cafe is a great little vegan/vegetarian cafe by hackney downs. i haven't tried any of their food as i was only there for a squatters meeting, but they have a new vegan mushroom samosa whihc sounds heavenly. i will have to try it next time i go. their website refers to some other fantastic groups that encourage alternative living, which is another area i find very appealing. there's a vegan/DIY 'festival' next week that i'll be going to. i found out about it through these organizations. here's the pogo cafe's site:
