Not that I've actually been to a barn raising, but the two and a half (1) moves I've been involved in this weekend: for
mattlistener and
mudpuppy yesterday,
drsnark this morning, and
ceo and
gosling this afternoon, all had that feeling of a community getting together for some shared effort. There was lots of socializing, and a good meal afterward, too.
So I guess it felt the way I'd heard barn raisings were supposed to feel.
It was fun! Insert "Yay!" sign here--if you were there, you know which one I mean.
Best of luck, people!
(1) I say "half" because we really didn't arrive in time for
drsnark's move. I'm glad it got done ahead of schedule, and not just because we mostly missed it. :)
