I’ll update this post with the audio of the meeting when I get the chance!

So what is this new venture, you ask?  It’ll probably be something like cupagan.com, but don’t look for anything at that address at the moment.  In fact, it’s not even mine yet so if you want to really piss me off, register it out from under me!  But, since there’s no one (that I know of) actually reading my blog at this time, it’s unlikely that will happen.

The goal of the site is pretty simple:  there are a number of small Pagan groups in the area and there are at least three general mailing lists as well.  It would be really, really nice if we could create an online space wherein each of those groups could advertise their events, gatherings, and goings-on without feeling like they needed to fork a single email to six hojillion lists in order to reach out to the CU Pagan community.

I’ll probably try to get things put together for it through December and into January.  Then it can become a resource for the area for at least a year until the subscription is up again.  Then, if it’s something that’s been useful to the local community, I’ll keep it going and, if not, it’ll only cost me about $10 and the time it takes to make it look pretty.
