Tonight: Adult Education at Union Hall

I'm a little late in posting this, obviously, but I am hosting a great show at Union Hall in Park Slope.

Adult Education, a monthly lecture series run by the Hawthorne Street crew and our Park Slope comrade Jim Hanas, is discussing the Cuisines of the World. I think you should come. If you don't trust me, do you trust The New Yorker? They think you should come also.
