I touched on this earlier, but I wanted to formally state what the intended purpose of this blog is. The content will vary widely, but will hopefully revolve around three key notions:
1.) First and foremost, this is a place for transients, by transients. Others are welcome and encouraged to view and even participate, but let's be clear and respectful of the intended audience. Ideally we will have here a place to share tips, tricks, advice, weather reports, recipes, gathering notices and other useful information that can be appreciated and utilized by those of a common mindset. I am one of you, and our order has a lot of pride and history to it. Let's always keep that in front of us.
2.) This is also a place for sharing our heritage with people unfamiliar with our ways. Through discussion, the recounting of experiences, collaboration and other efforts, we can share a positive message with those who may not have otherwise given us a second thought. In addition to sharing exclusively with the 'in' crowd, I hope to pepper in some useful information for the carpet-walkers out there. Every once in a while we'll discuss the history of the transient lifestyle, define certain terms, how to interact with a vagrant and other sorts of knowledge-gathering activities. This is a friendly place for all, and all shall feel welcome.
3.) Last but not least, this should simply be a fun and relaxing place for general perusal, regardless of your background. I'm not saying I'll be the next Face Space, but I want to keep the topic material light and fresh. That will mostly be on my shoulders, but I encourage participation by all.

Let's keep things clean, respectful and insightful. Let's follow the Five Pillars. This has the potential to be a really good thing.
In solidarity,
