Great pic!
East End Shoppes of Mass Ave soon to be circling the airwaves of Art of The Matter--
How can we do an East End/Indy Reads event? Maybe something as simple as Eight Reasons to Read: Taste, touch, smell, see, sample the 800 block"
We could do a progressive tour of businesses. Students could be "docents" reading to visitors/guests/mentors/etc..about WHAT the gallery/biz is about....or how to taste/enjoy that businesses product.....
Yeah, I know its kinda wacky.....BUT......
peace--jad
