The 4th Street Food Co-op

The 4th Street Food Co-op from The Local East Village on Vimeo.

This is neat; a few NYU students made a film for their blog about the 4th Street Food Co-op, which I belong to. I was manager for a couple of years several years ago, and bailed when things got too rough. (People were missing shifts and I had to fill in for them at a moment's notice; then, we moved to a smaller, dirtier space down the block while our space was being renovated. I got burnt-out pretty fast.)

I've been back for about a year, and so far it's been great—no political tension like at the Park Slope co-op, but we have our own pet causes.

Hopefully next time in the city, I can come visit you there!!!!

I'm about to click on the Park Slope link (that's where my mom lives) but I'm kind of scared!

ETA: I read the article, that's insane! I always think of co-ops as peace loving and harmonious.

I hope you're not mad at me, I haven't heard from you in awhile. I know I have been out of touch, but everything has been so awful recently and my siblings are making it even harder. Not an excuse, I know. I appreciate everything you've done, you are truly a great friend and I hope I can see you the next time I'm in NYC. This time is a complete bust. partially my siblings' fault.

Why would I be mad at you? I've been meaning to write and have been insanely busy.

If you read my journal, I had a fall a week or two back and am still in pain over that; ribs take forever to heal and can't even be taped, which is why I didn't go to the ER to get a useless X-ray.

I'd like to get together sometime; e-mail me at beth at tuna dot net.

I went there! I made a plan of places to visit, which included every food co-op. Haha. Also, thanks for the cute dragon virtual gift. It was very sweet.
