I've been in contact with the artist Jen Grant ( http://www.jen-grant.blogspot.com ) and asked her if she was up to doing some kind of installation for us for the fringe. I like the stuff she's been doing, but it would be nicem to hear some other opinions and also what space she could use so, tell m...

cornelia

Hi this saturday the actiopn day won't start until 2 pm. so dont show up at 11. or of course you can show up but since old hats and books meeting starts at 2 we thought that it would be a good idea to start our meeting at the same time

cornelia

I'll catch one of you guys ...
