petri dish open house, sunday 09/20, 6-10PM

[aresnick.livejournal.com]

Hi!  My name's Alec Resinck, and a few weeks ago, some friends of mine and I started to renovate 339R Summer St., just past Rosebud's.  A few of us are working on an educational startup called sprout (our site is mostly a placeholder page for now, and will be growing significantly in the next few weeks) and we're sharing the space with some other friends of ours who are starting up their own organization called DINO.  We're new to Davis, and pretty excited to be here.

As part of our respective endeavors, we're working to set up an open community workshop and labspace.  While that's still ongoing, we decided to have an open house tomorrow from 6-10PM.  Our space is normally open to the public (even if that hasn't been well-advertised, yet), but from 6-10PM on Sunday the 20th, we'll be _extra_ open (which mostly means we'll have some food and light refreshments around).  So, if you want to swing by, say hey, and see what we're up to, we'd love to chat!  We're in the carriage house set back from the road--if you have any trouble finding us, feel free to give me a call/text at 617.229.5036 or send me an email at alec@thesprouts.org

If you'd like to take a look at the flier, you can find it here  NOTE: the date is a week off (instead of 09.13.09, it should read 09.20.09)

Please feel free to pass this along to whomever you think might be interested--thanks a bunch!


Gratefully,
a.

Why did someone take our paper recycling?

We live off of North St., and this afternoon we put our paper recycling out on the curb in a paper shopping bag. A couple of hours later, the whole bag was gone. Is there a legitimate reason that someone would have wanted it, or is someone up to identity theft shenanigans?
