A little update on Masculinity Movies LIVE

posted by Eivind on May 1, 2010, at 10:38 pm

Now here’s a little update for you. Masculinity Movies LIVE is drawing ever closer and I’ve been talking to many people about it and putting up some posters. Excitement is building among a small group of engaged men and I have the feeling that it’s going to be a great night. As I feel into what this means to me, I realize it is an evening of great personal significance. The launch event back in June of last year was important, but MM LIVE is a more authentic expression of my own personal vision. To gather a group of men who meet as equals, brothers who pool their resources to make the sum greater than its parts; this is the way forward for men. We have been hiding in isolation for too long, talking about things we don’t really care about because we are too afraid to be authentic.

The time for that has passed! So here’s to keeping it real. The end to bullshit! I look forward to May 14.

Join me there if you can… (Invitation)
