Ephemerisle Adventures

Epehemrisle is truly maturing.  I recently came back from our four-day floating-city-building adventure with a warm glow from new connections, new accomplishments, and the excitement of an ad-hoc community coming together and *working well*

We are a beautiful community of caring people and we should maintain some level of responsibility for those who are with in our walls/floaties.

I think it would be a good idea to have some sort of medic/comfort corp. to handle people who have medical issues at the event. As it grows, it's inevitable that we'll have more people who get too drunk/have a bad trip/injure themselves. Perhaps you can head up organizing the medic/comfort corp. next year? It may even be worthwhile to raise money to hire professional medics to be on hand. (TSI hired a paramedic to be on hand the first year.)

I would also note that Matt, Laura and I took hours of time and a dangerous boat trip in the middle of the night to make sure he got proper medical attention. The speedboat is not equipped to handle night boating, and there was some risk to us of hitting underwater hazards. No one knew who he was, nor how to easily find his id/money, and timeliness seemed more important. While we may not have done all that we could to make sure he was safe and comfortable, I for one feel no "disappointment" in how he was treated.

Knowing very little about what happened.........yeah, seems you did the right thing.

Sure it may have been scary for this person, but we live in a time where... our system is "good enough" that the odds were he was safe.
