Delightful and uplifting to share my first workshop / talk “The Zen of Boombox Making.” Thx to the Portal Marin for hosting and the welcoming vibes. Love to Pilar Maria, Geeta Tate, Jeff Perlstein, Irregula Robo (Ed), Laura Geduldig and many new friends for attending. Getting good feedback on the content. It seems I have an infectious case of enthusiasm and I can’t seem to get rid of it.
