I don’t know if any of you noticed but 1919 is a bit of a mess and disorganized sometimes. Come help us tidy the place up and maybe get that backyard in order. Bring a mix cd/playlist/mix tape.

We will probably get some library organizing done too.

Show up around 8:pm or so and leave whenever you want.

email me if you have any questions.
