  There is a free community Scorpio season TEA meditation on SATURDAY morning led by local astrologer and writer Vanessa Hardy. Join us at 10a.  

 No. 2 →  THURSDAY (tomorrow): This is not to be missed, and yet we have lots of tickets left! Come, come. Christina is brilliant and will be presenting on Father Major Jealous Divine who founded the Peace Mission, an influential Harlem-based "cult" centered around food that held New Yorkers under his spell with his concepts of self-actualization, personal divinity, and Mutual Aid during the first half of the twentieth century. It's a twisty-turning tale with surprising connections to other infamous religious and cult leaders. Tix.  

 No. 3 →  WEDNESDAY (tonight):  Join us for cookbook club! Bring a dish from the book, or an Iranian dish, or an Iranian inspired dish, or a dish you love, or some strawberries or cheese bought five minutes before at the grocery store. Just come! It's all cuties and sweeties.  

No. 4  →  Come eat at Marlow & Sons this Saturday night from 6p to 10p! Imma (Paige) DJ-ing, and it's always a very relaxing time. 

No. 5  →  We are starting up a new Poetry Table group. Stay tuned for news about that!
