Last night  I saw Eric McClure and others from Park Slope Neighbors and the Park Slope Civic Council setting up at Old First for their event, PlanPS2008: How You Can Start Fighting Climate Change Today:

From simple, everyday, eco-friendly tips to how you can get started on
installing solar panels or a green roof, our expert panelists will give
you the tools to start making Park Slope a greener community today.

Featuring
presentations by Rohit Aggarwala, Director of the Mayor’s Office on
Long-Term Planning and Sustainability, Anthony Pereira, CEO of
altPower, and more.

I wonder how it went.

Later I walked by Community Bookstore and saw someone there carrying folding chairs up from the basement.

"What’s the event tonight?" I asked.

"A poetry reading," she said.

There was information on the A-frame chalk board, which it is now legal to display outside Seventh Avenue shops.

"Oh yeah, I had something about that on my blog," I said to myself as I walked away.

Later a friend called who went to a literary event at the Brooklyn Public Library, which featured poet, Anne Carson and other writers from various local presses. I know Tin House was there and I believe Elissa Schappell was introducing.

Anne Carson couldn’t make it but it sounded like a good reading at the new Stephen Dweck space in the basement of the library.
