Art for Autism

Yesterday I went with Nissa to look at the gallery space she's found to do her Art for Autism benefit/event. It's in a somewhat sketchy-looking neighborhood in West Oakland, so, naturally, there's a giant construction site across the street where they're putting in luxury condos.

I've agreed to edit the anthology and try and get some writers/poets to perform at the event. I think my official title should be Poet Wrangler. I've gotten a lot of interest, now I just have to firm up the date, get the submissions, design and edit the book, get it printed, and have the performers show up at the event -- scheduled for the end of April.
