THE PAISLEY REPORT for February 2012
=======================================================
Happy (belated) Valentine’s Day!  

When we were thinking about this month’s issue of the Paisley it occurred to us how much of what we do – as Board and community members – is based on love. Think about it – board members commit three years of their time to serve on INW. Producers and team leads spend *months* of their personal time to bring of our events to life. Volunteers offer their skills and time without pay to work those events. Heck, even people who can only attend an event do so because they love the event and the community they experience it with.
When you think it about it in those terms, it’s hard not to feel a little verklempt about the heart of the INW community. We choo-choo-choose you!  And we hope that you will continue to choo-choo-choose us.

THE PAISLEY REPORT for January 2012
=======================================================
January. After the non-stop activity and excitement of the holidays, I always find the first month of the year relaxing and quiet - almost as if someone had flipped a switch and all the Christmas lights and really bad Muzak go out at same time. Maybe it’s natural at this time of the year then, in the sudden silence, to start thinking about the future. To ponder on what you are going to do next. Some people make resolutions to improve themselves - to lose weight or stop smoking. Others, however, make the decision to engage more deeply in their community. For the members of Ignition Northwest, running for a position on our Board of Directors is one way to do this.

THE PAISLEY REPORT for November 2011
=======================================================
You know what? I had a kick-ass opening for this month’s edition of the Paisley. It was great – funny and not too many clichés. But it turns out there is so much to report that I just need to get right to it. This month’s Paisley is about Town Hall: what we did and where we are going. If you weren’t able to attend here is your opportunity to catch-up. If you were there, look for details or contact information you might have missed. The full notes and Powerpoint presentations from Town Hall will be posted on the INW website before the end of the year­­­.

THE PAISLEY REPORT for October 2011
=======================================================
Seacompression was an enormous success this year, and judging from the content of numerous photo galleries, for some reason zebra prints seemed to be a theme this year. Are we experiencing the new Zebra Zeitgeist?

This month's Paisley Report is sponsored by the Ignition Northwest Town Hall (coming up on November 6th), and is full of cool ways to get involved with the amazing community we have here in the PNW. How do YOU want to participate?

=======================================================
 Welcome to the ‘The Paisley Report’, Ignition Northwest’s new e-newsletter.
 
Whether you ventured out to the desert for the most amazing Burning Man ever (wasn’t it though?), celebrated closer to home in another way (Lake Bronson?), or simply chose to stay home and do laundry (!?!?), The Paisley Report is back to give you the skinny on what is happening now in the Pacific Northwest burner community. And apparently all our energies were not sapped in the desert this year, because there are big things happening! Read on for more...
