For the New New School
Michael started a school called the New New School. We meet irregularly every Sunday to discuss whatever we want and to hang out. We will have a Thursday meeting at a doughnut shop in Echo Park at 7:00PM for anyone interested. We share ideas, make readers, and plan on giving lectures and slide shows to one another. Other possible activities include potlucks, guerrilla gardening, and field trips. Members can be as active or inactive as they choose.
Upcoming event: teatime at the beach.
