                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi all! We are planning to host a PorcFest hub for talks, concerts, and other programming at our place in Auburn, in an outdoor event tent (think big field at Roger's). We're 10 mins from Manchester and have plenty of room for parking on site. <br /><br />We have many time slots available and are looking to connect with anyone who might want to present an event, hold a talk, moderate a debate, etc. If you have event ideas and need a venue, let's talk! &#x1f60e;<br /><br />(I'm <a href="https://signal.me/#eu/5PmEAAFbxiCQzoK8XM_zmvgmeVHk9uiIyDYmxHWYbkQTLVxr51JK170pi-BAb2s6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@daabosch.723</a> on signal)</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span>Hey PorcFest! Brian Becker here...</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>I'd like to help clear up any <a href="https://indepthnh.org/2026/03/06/protesters-rally-against-free-state-project/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conspiracy theories</a> and try to mediate peace as we attempt to quickly herd cats for our next PorcFest. We just finished an incredible <a href="https://www.concordmonitor.com/2026/03/09/free-state-project-new-hampshire-liberty-forum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liberty Forum</a>, where Carla announced that PorcFest has expanded. As with every change, this made some heads explode... and the rumors and opinions start churning.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><strong>Roger's Campground</strong></div>
<div><span>After over 20 years of hosting our group, the FSP leadership was unable to come to agreeable terms with Crosby on hosting PorcFest at Roger's again this year. I was not involved in the conversations, but I know he had taken a lot of abuse with a few of the attendees last year. There were no winners in losing Rogers, but I'm sure he will appreciate the peace this year. There will still at least be camping, and a unifying group photo on Saturday. Roger's has full control over what happens that week, so if we're good to them we might even see a bonfire one night. </span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><strong>PorcFest at the fairground</strong></div>
<div><span>We attempted to negotiate a contract with a fairgrounds in NH to host us this year, but that could not be completed in time due to the town's involvement and other restrictions. What others? I don't know, nor is it important. The later dates were chosen with that in mind.</span></div>
<div><span>I personally wasn't involved, but I know that Jamie worked her ass off to try to find and secure a replacement venue. &#x1f64f;&#x2764;&#xfe0f;&#x1f64f; Losing that was disappointing, but I am certain it was for the best. </span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><strong>PorcFest Decentralized!</strong></div>
<div><span>About a week ago, an idea was proposed to hold PorcFest in New Hampshire. In ALL of New Hampshire. </span></div>
<div><span>This has been a vision of mine for years, especially after seeing the amazing scheduling system and decentralized hubs of 2024.</span></div>
<div><span>Why draw imaginary lines around where we're gathering? The tech was capable of scaling out to the entire state, so why are we limiting ourselves? </span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>As the dates got close, an announcement was vital, and decisions were made to just decentralize it.</span></div>
<div><span>...and I have been preparing for this my whole life!!! &#x1f4ab;</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Decentralized hubs offering their own independent events for the rest of the world to experience life in New Hampshire. The work typically required to bring our club to PorcFest could instead be spent building our own version of PorcFest to show off at our own club!</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span><strong>THIS WILL BE AMAZING</strong> if you want it. </span></div>
<div><span>I want it.</span></div>
<div><span>And much of the effort is on my shoulders. </span></div>
<div><span>I have the <a href="https://thewearehouse.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coolest hub</a>, in the <a href="https://www.wearenh.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coolest town.</a> </span></div>
<div><span>I'm developing and hosting the website for <a href="https://community.fsp.org/forum/tech/calendar-help/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the schedule,</a> and managing <a href="https://community.fsp.org/porcfest/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the tickets.</a></span></div>
<div><span>I have a home at Roger's, and I'm friends with the owner. </span></div>
<div><span>I'm managing and moderating half of the groups on Telegram.</span></div>
<div><span>I also plan to interconnect the clubs for <a href="http://dcnh.cloud/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video conference</a> and <a href="https://dcnh.tv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">live streaming</a>.</span></div>
<div><span>Annnd... now I'm a meditator.</span></div>
<div><span>Are you seeing the centralization and dependence? I feel it</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>As an <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Empaths/comments/1ic0c1e/what_is_an_empath" target="_blank" rel="noopener">empath</a> (also <a href="https://www.16personalities.com/intp-personality" target="_blank" rel="noopener">INTP</a>), I try to avoid other peoples drama. I'll read about it occasionally, and sometimes offer to help develop solutions, but I have never seen value in feeding trolls. I'm an open book with my own life, and anyone can ask me anything. I recently read that some empaths are more inclined to just keep quiet and take names. Yes. </span></div>
<div><span>Hater's gonna hate, and Statists gonna state.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><strong>Wanna help? </strong></div>
<div><span>Build something. Find a club and ask how you can best support them. Volunteer for one of our many organizations working toward freedom. Find a need and fill it. Find your purpose. Form a team.</span></div>
<div><span>The people in the FSP are working tirelessly to keep the vehicle alive. </span></div>
<div><span>The porcupines in the Free State are the ones building our community. </span></div>
<div><span>Attracting freedom to New Hampshire is the main goal, and everything we build is another critical tool to help us do that.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span><strong>Freedom, Decentralization, and Unity</strong></span></div>
<div><span>Ross sang these words of freedom at the <a href="https://weare.dcnh.tv/w/xdP9DugSyDhqycR7Fe3zRC" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin Conference</a> after being freed from <a href="https://freeross.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">his cage of 12 years</a>. </span></div>
<div><span>This is what it takes, to win.</span></div>
<div><span>We're blazing a new trail in New Hampshire and we need all the help we can get.</span></div>
<div><span>PorcFest has always been a festival of Freedom and Unity... And now it's Decentralized!</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Let's showcase our communities as a beacon of hope to the world. &#x1f4ab; &#x270c;&#xfe0f;&#x1f994;</span></div>]]></content:encoded>
