The Invitation

Nearly every day this week, I've whisked by the library to print out the free 20 pages offered for each day. Then I'd take the flyers I've cut from them, visit a new coffee shop in the neighborhood, and leave them amongst the others.

I've always seen flyers like this: black & white, hand cut, no gloss. These are moments of homegrown "3rd Places," offering an invitation to you. Whoever you are.

I've grown a fondness for it. Unlearned the capitalist urge for dressings that bleed my pocket. And focus on what really matters. Us. Community.

So, when the time came to spread the word about our fundraiser party for the "Willow: House of Griots" TV series, I found myself here: extending my own personal invitation to a 3rd Place. For the community steadily growing around this show, and the ideas it espouses.

Come through. Join our community, and help us get our stories out there.
