Soooo lots of things getting canceled as I write so I suppose it would be wise to check with all event organizers before leaving home. Every organization I have ever interacted with has sent me an email ensuring me of their anti-viral precautions so there is that. DON”T TOUCH YOUR FACE or anyone else’s face for that matter.
Tonight Rock Paper Plant will teach you how to create living wall hangings with orchids. Orchids can grow on rocks and trees so why not exposed brick? Participants will learn how to care for orchids and how to mount them. Workshop begins at 6pm and is $60.
Friday Mosaic Theatre presents Alexandra Petri’s Inheit the WIndbag which imagines Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley revisiting their famous debates in the Dismal Beyond aka as the Richard Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, CA. Petri is a Washington Post columnist whose hysterically funny work is frequently shared in my social media world so chances are you are in for a desperately needed laugh. The show runs through March 29th and the Atlas recently sent an email assuring us they are taking appropriate virus prevention precautions.
