The Ocassional Third Saturday Return of SSSCSSCC: Second Saturday Second City Stand-Up Sanity Check Committee

Calendars are hard. Depression and holidays combining make them harder. But we're getting together this Saturday at the Long Room to decompress, cheer, drink, eat, be merry and/or pissed off. Come with ideas for a SUMMER PROJECT for us to tackle together! (Or share them here if you can't here.)

The Continuing Return of SSSCSSCC: Second Saturday Second City Stand-Up Sanity Check Committee

We're re-establishing the habit of meeting on the second Saturday to check-in. Cheer each other for fighting the good fight. Share what we've done since the last time and what's on the calendars for June. Offer tools and tips for resisting effectively. Provide emotional support when the persistence is flagging. And drink booze. And eat biscuits. [more inside]

4th Second Saturday Second City Stand-Up Sanity Check Committee Or 4thSSSCSSCC

(except that it's gonna be on the 3rd Saturday again maybe) Because of the holiday weekend and conflicting events, I'm suggesting we move this month's event to the Third Saturday. However, I'm open to other routes. NOTE: Please see the changed location and the fixed time; garlic has generously volunteered to host this month and I'm generously taking him up on that offer.

Second Saturday Second City Stand-Up Sanity Check Committee Or SSSCSSCC*

So there's no way I would have made it through the last few post-election days without the support of my friends and family, especially seeing so many reactions that amounted to"WHAT CAN I DO?" and last night I was struck by all the youth hitting the streets, but, even as I was there, I wondered "what can I, an older person out of the activist game, do?" Here's what I came up with: [more inside]
