#1 - How the grinch stole Purim
The March 4th Purim Party at Last Resort is CANCELLED. For this year,
anyway. Nechama will be in Oregon in a tent in the rain instead of
baking hamentashen in New York City. If I were you, I'd keep an eye
on anarchistrabbi.blogspot.com for the Purim word. It's a big city,
and I know that the appropriate rabble rousing has got to be going
down "somewhere*. As regards subversive holidays, contact me if
you've got ideas along the lines of a Lag Ba'Omer pagan bacchanal or
a Passover Death Metal Show (complete with blood of Christian
babies.) Anything is possible.

Come for the good music and all the best friends you haven't met yet.
Construction is started (though far from finished) and the place is
waaaay different than it was before. If you've been to Last Resort
before, you'll barely recognize it now. If you haven't been here
before, you know, you won't recognize it at all.

#4 - I'm a spaz
At the party on January 20th I spoke to a seriously cool woman about
storytelling. Then I forgot her name and lost her email address.
Please email me, lady. Thx.
