Thanks to wonderful response received at today’s edition, Kiruba Shankar has announced that the Next Edition of RRFM (Really Really Free Market) will be on Dec 26 2010…

Standby for more photos of the event and other details

Thanks Chennai for your support.

The Really Really Free Market is a fun community-space for sharing – where people bring what they have to give, take what they need, and leave the rest. It’s kinda like a potluck, but for goods and services.

A Really Really Free Market is like a potluck for whatever you want to give or take away. Have you ever brought one dish to a group dinner and gone away with a full belly and a balanced meal? Everybody brings something and goes away with more.

We all have skills, ideas, objects, culture, smiles, talents, friendship, music, food, discussions, and many other things to share. If we bring them all together at the Really Really Free Market, we can provide more balanced and full lives for everyone.

Why? Because we all have things we no longer use and could give away; because sharing brings us closer; because it’s responsible to our environment, community and planet.

Really Really Free Markets have sprung up around the world. After New York, San Francisco, Sydney, Singapore and Russia, the event comes to namma Chennai.

This is not a space to barter. This is a space to share, a gift economy, if you will. This is a totally kid-friendly, adult-friendly, animal companion-friendly, and wheel chair accessible event!

Really Really Free Market is taking place in Chennai tomorrow Evening… Be there
