It’s Tofu Season (Events of 4/19)

National High Five Day, all day. Whoever high fives everyone they see today wins a prize. Possibly gets beaten up too.

Procastinators Unite (Events for 4/16)

Strawberry Creek Restoration, 10 AM-12 PM: Our suggestion is to clear up some brush and create a frisbee field, but no one ever listens to frisbee people.
