SuperForesters Connect!

An amazing thing happened today.  An incredible, beautiful last minute coming together of SuperForesters from islands on opposite ends of the Pacific O.

April met Jordan!  Or Jordan met April!  We met each other!

And it occurred, in the not-so-random convergence of it all (I’m citing Miin’s last post, see below)… in the best Malaysian restuarant in Sydney (and that I’ve ever been to).  Miin was not exaggerating when she said Malaysian cuisine is da best.  But I digress.

On to the answers to your many questions, like how did this happen?  What am I doing in Sydney?  Is April as sweet as we all imagined she would be?

Here’s how sweet…

I texted her at 10:30 AM.  ”Hey April, I’m on my honeymoon in Sydney.  Don’t you live here?  Want to meet up?  I only have 22 hours in the city.”  5 minutes later April had made a plan to meet up for lunch.  Only an hour roundtrip train ride out of the way across town in the middle of her lunch day.  No worries!  And she brought cupcakes!

We had an amazing meal, talked about things SuperForestry and RegularUrbanity.  It was short and sweet and then it was done.  Back to work April trained away, and onward with our Australia month-long-honeymoon-adventure went my new forever bride Rebecca and I.  We only wish we had more time to spend with the epic, quirky aussie awesomeness of April.  You should all really come and check her out.

I’m so so so glad I did!

SuperForest Projects: Operation West Virginia

What up, West Virginia?

Above is a screengrab from SuperForest’s analytics page. SuperForest is read by folks all over the world and in every single state in the Union, with one exception.

West Virginia.

We must share the good news with West Virginia.

Seriously, our readership is 53 times higher in Malaysia than it is is West Virginia.

Our West Virginian cousins are missing out.

So, we hereby announce the beginning of Operation West Virginia!

What do you have to do to participate?

Tell someone, anyone, in West Virginia about SuperForest.

I just did. It went like this:

First, I wanted to insure that my message was received, so I googled “Vegan food West Virginia”

This lead me to the address and phone number of Mountain People’s Kitchen in Morgantown, West Virginia. (304) 291-6131.

(Ring. Ring.)

Woman: “Hello, Mountain People’s Kitchen?”

Me: “Hi, do you guys have a computer with internet access? Not for customers, but for you working at the store?”

W: “No.”

M: “Do you have it at home?”

W: “No.”

M: “So you don’t have internet access at all?”

W: “Not poor people like me. Some folks have Comcast.”

M: “So you don’t email?”

W: “I have email, but I don’t use it.”

M: “So what if someone wanted to get in touch with you and tell you about something amazing?”

W: “They’d have to call me.”

M: “Great, well I wanted to tell you about this amazing website. It’s called SuperForest.org. Super, like superman, and forest, like trees.”

W: “Oh yeah?”

M: “Yeah, it’s really great. It’s all about positivity and sustainability.”

W: “Hmmm.”

M: “Yeah, check it out if you get a chance. SuperForest.org.”

W: “I will. If I can steal a signal, I will.”

M: “Oh wait, you know what the best part is?”

W: “What?”

M: “There’s no advertising. No banners or pop-ups.”

W: “I’ll check it out.”

M: “Awesome! What’s your name?”

W: “Ashley.”

M: “Thanks Ashley. Have a great day.”

Ashley: “You too.”

See! That was easy.

Ashley at the Mountain People’s Kitchen was very nice and managed to sound genuinely sort of enthusiastic, which is way more than I was hoping for.

Tell someone in W.V. about SuperForest.

Tell ‘em that the Malaysians are getting all the good info first!

Awesome.

Love,

Jackson & Team SuperForest
