Weekday Events
FGA Neighborhood Meeting
Joyce Szuflita from NYC School Help will talk about what every parent needs to know about starting out in New York City public schools.

Also, the Real Estate market has been all over the map. Get your bearings with a discussion on the current trends in the Fort Greene market. Ask questions, and get answers. Monday, November 16.

NAG Heat Season Workshop
This gathering is to raise awareness of this city’s heating regulations and outline the rights and avenues of recourse tenants have when dealing with non-compliant landlords. Those of you are tired of being cold and want to know what you can do about it should make it a point to attend. Monday, November 16. 7 p.m. - 8 p.m. To RSVP, call (718) 384-2241. 110 Kent Avenue, Floor 2, Neighbors Allied for Good Growth.
Psychedelic Shamanism: Tripping with Caveh
“Dropping” acid in high school or eating Mushrooms in college is still an American rite of passage, but few filmmakers have made the hallucinogenic experience an integral part of their work. Caveh Zahedi has spent the past 20 years exploring the spiritually transformative potential of psychoactive drugs and documenting these explorations in his autobiographical films. He has even made a TV pilot, Tripping with Caveh ( inspired by John Lurie’s Fishing with John series) with Will Oldham playing Dante to Caveh’s mushroom-addled Virgil. Join him for a first-hand account of his own experiences in the psychedelic realm. Monday, November 16. 7:30 p.m. - 9 p.m. Free. 709 Lorimer Street, Pete's Candy Store.
