This year’s event will feature tales of misadventure, mishap and misconception from genuine neighbors (Maybe even your own neighbors…). Local all-star improv groups Administration and Black by Popular Demand will take these stories and up the ante, bringing to life alternate, and parallel neighborhood realities. And if that’s not enough we’ve got a kick-ass silent auction to boot. So come prepared to laugh, cry and get your bid on! We say; “treat yourself”, for your neighborhood*.

It’s radical community gratitude … for stuff that matters.
