here we are after a cute little picnic last week in central park.

soooo much has happened in the past few days. this weekend was especially eventful. on Friday we visited Project REACH and had an unbelievably effective workshop on homophobia, classism, racism, and more. Don, who facilitated, made us all do some soul searching to see the judgements and misconceptions that we all carry around.... the 4 hours we spent with him continue to stick with me. Saturday we had our health fair and block party at HCZ. we've been planning for it for a bit and it turned out to be a big success. Ding, Tom, and Rahul came by and we all enjoyed the festive scene.
highlights include: watching the little guys do karate, spontaneous electric slide dancing, chicken-noodle soup dance offs, trying to do double dutch, the old man with the cane dancing and riding his cane like a horse (i kid not), and looking for the cat sized rat that was hiding under the cars and then screaming at it and running away and then looking for it all over again, and over 700 people attending!
