Tuesdays, 7-9 pm, Laughing Horse Books, 12 NE 10th, Portland, OR
We’ll see what, if anything, develops out of these meetings. Things will be very informal, while we figure out whether there is interest in a more formal study group. I’ll be focusing on good stories with larger implications for understanding movement history and our present possibilities.
