tout le monde*,
*the workshop this saturday is going to be so much fun.  If you are at all
interested in painting with spray cans, this workshop will completely set
you up for it.  It's going from basic design principles to how do you deal
with dudes at the paint store.  So comprehensive, and you're guaranteed to
leave with some new art made by you yourself.
Also, we're still inviting people to submit for the anti-olympics art
auction.  Submit your art, and the proceeds go to frontline organizing
against the 2010 atrocity.  Doodle for justice!

*-->Dec 5 - **Vermicomposting*
Vermicompost, is composting utilizing various species of worms, specifically
red wigglers, white worms, and earthworms creating the heterogeneous mixture
of decomposing vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and pure
vermicast produced during the course of normal vermiculture operations.
Vermicast, similarly known as worm castings, worm humus or worm manure, is
the end-product of the breakdown of organic matter by the species of
earthworm.  It's a great way to decrease on garbage output as well as being
really fertile dirt for plants and gardens.
Each participant will leave the workshop with a compost box complete with
hungry hungry worms.
