Fabulous Solstmas to all of you! We hope everyone is getting to
spend a few days doing something fun, or exciting, or relaxing,
depending on what you need.
We've been spending some time this season trying to figure out
Erowid's path forward. With the death of a major funder in October,
we are faced with significant funding challenges in 2012. We'll be
writing more about this in January, but for now... if you have space
for end-of-year charitable giving, we need your help.

In History... 400 Years Ago
Drunkenness Criminalized: In 1606, the British Parliament passed

Crew Notes
This month Earth and Fire spent three weeks traveling in Australia,
starting near Melbourne and the Entheogenesis Australis (EGA) event,
then spending time in Sydney and northern New South Wales. We'll be
writing more about our trip in the future, but for now, we wanted to
say how incredibly well-produced the EGA event was. We were greeted
warmly, treated wonderfully, and introduced to a broad community of
articulate, inspired artists, scientists, botanists, tech workers,
farmers, students, and explorers of all sorts.
Meanwhile, Sylvia and Jon joined MAPS at its Oakland, California conference. They appreciated getting to meet Erowid supporters and members as well as hosting a meet-and-greet book signing with Sasha and Ann Shulgin at the Erowid table. From the Vaults
