Hoppyguy and I have been working on the volunteer group initiative, which we've decided to call Dark Clouds Silver Lining. If you hadn't heard, it is an organized effort to get a group of supporters out donating their time to local causes. Both HG and I have done similar work with Surly and their Surly Gives a Damn program, and we're modeling DCSL after that.

There will be some more formal announcement of it in coming weeks, but for now we've got a deadline to meet to get in on a collaboration event with Surly. We're putting together a group of 10-15 Stars fans to participate for a day's worth of work at a Habitat for Humanity site on Friday, May 25. You'll find more details at dark-clouds.com here, including information on how to sign up.

I think we've for about seven people already signed up, so there's still some room. Ask any questions you have here.

Is the date April 25 or May 25? Your post has April as the date but the site says May.

I also updated the site page with some better details. We're up to eight people now, and we can have up to 13 total.

We got ten people signed up. Thanks to everyone! Sorry it was the type of thing that requires taking time off work. We'll have future events on week nights and weekends.
