Hi all,

yeah, I love the idea of trading tea for thoughts!

How bout meeting at my place on Sunday from 12 to 14 or 16, depending on
how productive we are.
I will set up some space for drawing labels and preparing containers.
(public alternatives: Bethanien? Markthalle 9?)

The "tea" is just compost -- add water, shake, and give to plants for a
yummy nutritious mid-winter snack.
