Despite strong political and economic headwinds, friends, allies, fans, and readers quickly rallied around the return. Not just online or in print, but especially in person in the city where the brains, muscle, and soul of the new greatness movement came together. Concentrated in Austin, Dallas, Miami, New York, and Los Angeles

We learned that what we accomplished was just the beginning. Technology is changing rapidly, not just intensifying and accelerating, but intelligently and spiritually moving us in the direction of the pink color that I have been warning everyone who will listen throughout the 2010s. We have moved away from a police state.
