A Sheep In Goat's Clothing

Thursday, April 7, 2011. Posted by Sasha Archibald under News and Notes

We ate sheep, not goat, but had an amazing time at the April Ful's Night event last Friday: warm weather, an open air kitchen

, rousing music, lounging picnickers, smart conversation, and unexpectedly delicious fava bean ful. The Oakland Standard is feeling withdrawal pangs from our fantastic collaboration with the Citizens Laboratory. Warm thanks to the partner organizations that made the event come alive. If you missed it, Oakland North has a nice recap. The Contra Costa Times also ran a lovely feature about the Oakland Standard's innovative programming.

Here's a pic of us and some saintly volunteers shelling a mountain of beans the day before the event.
