NOTICE: Now that the electricity is working at 817 Metropolitan Avenue, our Brooklyn outpost, the Brooklyn committee of volunteers is planning on spending Saturday starting at 10:30am using that new-found light to see the grime and clean it up. So if you'd like to help out, just show up at 10:30am or later if you need more beauty rest first.
