All Saints Neighborhood Grill Out & Fun Day

*****RAIN OR SHINE! *****

This is the best neighborhood in the world, but we don’t really get a chance to all come together without business enough. The kids are gone, the season has slowed down, and it’s not as hot as the fourth circle of hell yet…. so let’s have a grill out! (We also have amazing A/C inside!) #KeepAllSaintsFed

Everyone is welcome! Business owners, employees, residents, visitors, creative types — If you are reading this, you are invited. GIVE A SHARE AND INVITE A GROUP. Bring your staff!

Let’s just have a neighborhood get together and have a little cheer among great people. Surely there will be some jamming, maybe some field day games, probably some arting, and definitely fun and play.

_____FOOD_______
We’ll have the basics: Hot dogs, burgers, veggie dogs, and all the fixings, along with some kraut, cheese, and the necessities. Drop a dollar in the jar if you can. We’ll have two grills, one for meat, and one non-meat. (Thank you to Thrin Diesel for coordinating a selection for our veggie and vegan friends!)

The rest is BYOG: if you want something else grilled, or to eat, bring it. If you want to bring some more to share, that’s awesome too! Variety is the spice of life, and we want everyone to leave with a full belly.

_____DRINKS_____
We’ve got sodas and water, and will have some Go-Go punch for the grown ups, and probably some lager in a can. Drop a couple of dollars in the jar.

BYOB if you want something else. We’ll have plenty of ice in the well for you to stick some beer, just for you or for others if you have extra.

_____JAMMIN’_____
If you are musically inclined, bring an instrument and a random jam might happen. A few friends in the talent pool are being asked to bring a couple of songs on purpose.

_____DRESS & SEATING/GAMES_____
Pack a change to be comfy if you’re coming from the office. If it stays dry out, a spontaneous game of wiffle or kick ball might break out in the back yard. Or an improv dance line has a tendency to go down here. We have chairs and benches, usually enough. You might want to pack your folding chair if you want a guaranteed spot for yourself.

_____KIDS + NICE DOGS WELCOME!_____
We’ve got some games and sidewalk chalk, some paint, and some canvasses. The kids will have fun. And if they or your dogs aren’t cool around people or house trained, maybe think on it. (Dogs on leashes, please, since other dogs will be here….and because the space is so large and the back yard is not gated from the street.)

_____CREATIVE CO-WORKING PREVIEW_____
If you are curious about co-working, this is a great chance to see the space. Artist Linda Hall will be building a set for this Saturday’s Peg Simone concert, and some folks might be painting or drawing. We’ll probably have a community-paint wall happening, or some other fun such.

_____ DROP OFF YOUR STUFF!_____
We are always in need of everything that can be re-purposed or arted on. So since you’re coming, throw that old chair that’s been sitting in your garage in the trunk. Or those old paint cans. Or that box of tchotchkes you want to let go of but don’t want to throw away. We’ll take it all! (Old VHS tapes a bonus!) And always can use cleaning supplies, tools, or other materials.

_____PARKING_____
At 5:30 on a Thursday, there should be plenty of street parking just a block inside the hood, on our side street (All Saints Street). But there are also three free parking lots in the district, within 3 blocks:

DO NOT park in the Good Vibes Only (old Side Bar club)/Merv’s lot. They tow rapidly. Pffft.

_____THE SPACE_____
