Fall 2010 – New People, New Weekly Events
It’s been too long since our last post. Things have been going well in the house (although the G20 was a difficult period with our house being raided). The fall is treating us well – and I think I can safely say that our three new housemates are all happy to have moved into the toad lane domain.
This year is the year of events! We are planning fundraisers, another conference – and our week now has 4 repeating events!
Mondays: 9:16 Noise Band Practice: “We’re Getting the Band back Together”. A new housemate started a jam night at a previous residence every Sunday at 8:16pm – and held it every Sunday for 9 months. We’re trying a similar project here. The night is a musical safe space – so bring your instruments and your insecurities and we’ll make some sounds together!
Tuesdays/Mardi: 6:30pm Diner en Francais – nous avons decide que, parce que par chance tous les membres de Toad Lane parlent Francais, la maison sera une maison d’immersion francaise de lundi a mecredi (main non pas durant le band-practice). Le diner sur mardi sera ouvert aux francophone et aux anglophone a tous ceux qui voudraient pratiquer. Meme si vous parlez tres peux le francais, si vous etes prete a essaiyer de vous s’exprimer en Francais et d’ecouter les autres en Francais – vous etes bienvenues! Le diner sera pot-luck, et vegetalian, mais la politique vegetalien n’est pas the but primaire de cette evenement.
(French pot luck dinner – just randomly it turns out that our entire house speaks French – so we’ve decided to be an immersion house mondays to Wednesdays – and host a French pot luck dinner on tuesdays at 6:30pm. You don’t have to speak much french, or even be able to read the above invitation in French – you just have to be willing to learn, to attempt to express yourself in french, and attempt to understand others!)
Wednesday – “Yuppy Wednesday” and Crazy Strings at the Silver Dollar. 3$ cover, 10$ pitchers, and bluegrass music!
Thursday – Good ‘ol vegan pot-luck night! 8pm – bring your friend, bring your politics, leave your animal food at home!
