go for the conversation, stay for the conversation

Not exactly echo, but definitely worth a shout.

This is The End

Thirteen months and a day. Thirteen months exactly if you play with the time zone difference. Asia, it's time for me to rock on.

Echo Tap navidad!

A commercial break

We weren't going to go public with this, but decided it should be shared. We talked of leaving it just for those who experienced it live, remembrance of the feeling being more important than the exact recorded steps we walked. But alas, the amount of work put in insists this Dream be relived and shared with all. Here's the video entrance to the last ever Traineeship Power Hour. Yea, we showed up. Somehow, the secret was kept and all gears turned smoothly. I almost started believing in miracles as we strolled in to sounds of surprise.
We added new elements each time, and this time we took it to The House with nearly all types of media: recorded audio, recorded video, streaming YouTube video, and pictures. Echo Tap was well known by the next day.



And so, that concludes this form of my AIESEC chapter. I can't think of a better way of parting ways, per se. The amount of energy and emotion we put in, and then received, was incredible. For several days after I found myself devoid of emotion, unsure of where to direct the energy it had always required prior to delivery. But now, I can only hope the message was provided properly, and that it also was held on to. The emotional drain following each session actually makes it hard to remember parts of them, and that reigns true with this last one. But, I'll always remember the Feeling, and that's what matters most. Hopefully the eyes and ears will as well. Infinite thanks are due to those who helped us. For now, the Dream has been passed on to the hands of the Next. Godspeed, and don't fuck it up.

Echo Tap is reaching new levels of sickness. In 14 days we've been there about 8 times. All names of night employees as well as several regulars are known. We are reaching 'regular' status. Rare is it to remember closing the tab.


And in other news, get yourself a pair of these shoes. Pretty cheap price and an amazing cause. I'll be buying mine this week:
