Party in the Haight!

On Sunday March 12 a group of us will be hosting a party at Page Street
Center in the Lower-Haight District. The inspiration for this party comes
from two sources: a venue for sharing our art-making, story-telling, and
poetry work from the Jesus Dojo, and the story Yeshua told about the kind of
feasts where everyone is invited.

So... On Sunday we will be meeting at 690 Page Street @ Steiner from 1-5
P.M. To cook great food, play music, display and make art and share stories
and poetry along with residents of the lower Haight who utilize Page Street
Center as a community gathering place.

Adam and I went to Page Street on Monday to say "Hello," make an
announcement and pass out flyers. There was a lot of enthusiasm for the
Feast on Sunday-- and people really seemed excited about sharing their
creative skills and cooking together.

A few thoughts on our feast day at Page Street:

1. Feel free to bring a sample of music, instruments, poetry, story or
artwork to display or share-- with some sensitivity to the diversity of life
experiences that will be represented. We are invited anyone from the
community to participate.

2. Page Street Center is a Community Center that provides groceries and
assistance to San Francisco residents as well as a drop-in program for
homeless youth. Our friend Eric directs the center, which operates on an
incarnational, power-to-the-people approach to community and assistance.
Expect creative chaos. Things are run at Page street existentially based on
the energy and vibe of the moment. Food will be served when it is ready. We
will start the open mic or mural making when appropriate energy surfaces.
You are invited to enter the swirl of people and activities.

3. There will be a lot of different kinds of people and life styles
represented at the feast. It will be great to connect across lines of
culture and life experiences. This is not a meal for hungry people. It is a
feast for human people.

Looking forward to a great time on Sunday!
