One of our activities to promote "mingling" was to have folks barter for items they would choose to store in their Y2K bunker.

go to:
ocotillo central 		Ocotillo.retreat.99 (y2k bunker)

The items distributed for the Y2K Bunker activity were selected in a completely unscientific process! Through a small program we wrote, we created random sets of 5 items, one from each category, that were provided to each of the retreat participants.
