We are having our first annual End of the World (Or Maybe Not) Party next Thursday, October 16, 2008 at Union Hall in Park Slope. Please remember your ID; as we’ve learned here, Union Hall has a strictly enforced carding policy. The fun will begin at 6:30pm. All are welcome, including occasional visitors to the site with less time on their hands than some of us Brownstoner-addicted bold type regulars.

Lechacal–make it happen! Would love to say hi to you.
