I moved to LA from Brooklyn where I ran a Scrabble/Social group that was so fun I'm bringing the idea here. **UPDATE** This group, along with the other message board site, is already a couple hundred strong and its still growing. The meetings are more intimate and casual which can be a difficult atmosphere to achieve with lots of folks. To keep it intimate and swanky there are some rules members need to follow in order to keep from being politely removed from the group: ------------------------- …

Border morris is too much fun, and just a bit dangerous--with danger increased exponentially with the addition of big sticks & alcohol (alcohol optional, big stick de rigeur). After March hits, we get busy rehearsing for upcoming gigs (our first of the year is Ojai Renaissance Festival, April 4-5), & while new dancers can come play with us during those times, we may not have much time for you--so it's always best to email first so we know you're coming, & can welcome you, warn you, or hide. …

The law impacts practically every interaction that anyone can have, whether it is in business or social, just watching the news, driving down the street, going to work or having a sip of alcohol. And yet, it is amazing how few people have any actual understanding of the laws of our country. Most people have never read the Constitution or a single court case or statute, and education comes in many ways by rumor and news stories.
