Our dear friend and collaborator Chris Collins is at it again. Check out his new Kickstarter campaign for Consensus, a democratic, open-source writing project. Individual words for an ebook will be chosen by backers (at just a dollar a word. What a deal!) and then the content will be written completely by the group (in realtime via Google Docs) and decided upon with the help of focus groups, discussions, and direct participation. The video below explains all. Please consider participating in this! Rewrite the book on writing books.

Consensus: Rewrite the Book on Writing Books! Change writing forever, starting at just a buck a word. A democratic book experiment.

Coming up at Thunder-Sky, Inc.

"Rejoice!: A Retrospective of Avtar Gill, Cincinnati's Hat-Man" opens Friday April 25, 2014, reception 6 to 10 pm. The shows closes June 13, 2014. Avtar Gill, known by many downtowners as The Hat Man, passed away early 2013, but he will always be remembered as a Cincinnati folk hero for the sign-emblazoned hats he wore while walking all across the city, and for his dedication to maintaining a strong, cultural voice and presence throughout his life. This exhibit will feature photographs, video, testimonials, stories, and actual hats and signs The Hat-Man left behind. Here are several of the signs and hats we'll be featuring. If anyone out there would like to contribute a story, of even a sign or other items Avtar gave them, please feel free to contact us. We're wanting the exhibit to show the full range of Avtar's cultural impact. [email protected]...
