 * 3/5: note from yar: I gave a long tour to Roke from a group called "Conscious Queer Commons". They are very interested in doing stuff at Omni, but want to start out by trying to host a danceclass "mixing Indian dance movements". They would want a 10 week commitment for Thursday nights (say, April 7 - June 9) but I'll start out by just requesting the first slot. Does this work? Do we anticipate any conflicts? They are willing to pay a reasonable rate - don't have a number yet but I want to confirm the dates first.
