And still digging in the desert. Arcosanti was a pretty crazy dream back then, it is interesting to see how far (or how little) it has progressed since then. I think he was touting for inspired students to come to Arizona and shovel concrete with him – I’m not sure if any of us ever did. I think maybe one student did – he may still be there now. But I think it made me aware just how important developers are in the vital phase of gathering money – without them you’re sunk. Soleri is still holding out – I long ago sold my soul to work for the dark side…
