Dinner And A Movie

The Mediterranean Cafe has a great offer for Valentine's Day or any other day. For only $30. a couple (+ that pesky sales tax) we offer The Mediterranean Feast (spanakopita, moussaka, Med salad, dolmas, rice, hummus,grilled pita bread, the best falafels anywhere, gyro meat) & BAKLAVA and 2 movie passes to Kimball's. Reservations are necessary, but the great part about it is you can use the passes anytime and Kimball's shows some of the best movies in town. When was the last time you went downtown? No really there is plenty of parking, althought you may have to park in a garage but what's a few extra minutes when all the great stuff is downtown! There is also a free downtown shuttle and very cool stores that have neat gifts you won't find anywhere else. Or wander over to The Book Broker or Poor Richard's for those books you've been meaning to get.

Creative Arts Salon

I am hosting a Creative Arts Salon the first Monday of each month, and today (Feb 5 2007) is the very first meeting:

---

dictionary definition: salon: "a regular gathering of prominent people from the worlds of literature, art, music, or politics, especially one held at the home of a wealthy woman"

in this particular case, remove "prominent", "wealthy" and "politics" and you'll get a pretty good idea... :-D

---

When: The first Monday of each month,
5:30 pm potluck dinner (optional), 7-9 pm meeting

Where: North Central part of town, near Fillmore and Hancock intersection

Who: Adults and mature teens (meetings could be "R" rated at times)

Info: contact Karen at ke_peace_2u@yahoo.com or 471-9456


This is an opportunity to share, in a supportive environment, any creative endeavor you are involved in, at any skill level. This is not a critique group (although feedback of any sort, including critique, can be requested if you wish).

The guiding idea and attitude is that: creativity is one of the most natural activities of humankind, therapeutic, healing, community-building, and beneficial regardless of one's skill level or expertise. Heraclitus said [approximate quote] "Man is never nearly so much himself as when he has the seriousness of a child at play."

Pat Nolan has announced that she is hosting a HAIKU party on Thursday, Feb. 15th at 7 pm at her place for a limited number of people. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to her. I was going to post a map for her but thought better of it. So, either contact her, or email me and I will send you the map (if I know who you are and assuming it's OK with Pat to do it this way.)
