Events for September 2008
Sunday Sep 7, 11AM @ 2640 : Back-To-School Jazz Brunch!
It's a back-to-school brunch in every way, from the menu (think sloppy joes, taco salad, un-chicken nuggets, pudding...) to the music, courtesy of amazingly talented student musicians Dylan and John, whose band Everyman will be special-guesting!
As usual, doors open at 11 am, there'll be an open jazz set with Everyman at 11:30, an open mic for all kinds of performance & announcements around 12:30, and a final jazz set 'til 2. In addition to our lunchroom menu we'll have all your usual brunch favorites- including our famous vegan pancakes, bagels, fresh fruit, coffee & tea, and more.
Admission is $7 - $10 sliding scale for the all-you-wanna-eat buffet, or just $4 for performers in the session or open mic. All proceeds support the 2640 Project's work with the St. John's congregation to maintain and improve the space!
Email 2640jazzbrunch@gmail.com if you have questions, comments, or would like to volunteer.
Hope to see you there!
Thursday Sep 11, 6:30PM @ Red Emma's : Screening and Q/A of "Beyond Elections"
Saturday Sep 13, 10AM @ 2640 : Fusion Open House and Neighborhood Cookout!
So, you've heard of Fusion. Something about justice, activism, project incubation? Here's a chance to find out more about who the Fusion programs are (including Red Emma's and 2640) and what they do!
Meet representatives from many of Fusion's grassroots projects at their tables and displays. Our programs include some of the city's most committed and inspired agents for progress in the criminal justice system, urban sustainability, harm reduction, and community-building through arts and education.
Learn about their work and the support structure that Fusion provides through workshops, presentations, and performances. Find out how you can contribute through volunteering, funding, and more!
Enjoy good company, music, and cookout fare served up hot from the grill. Reasonably priced burgers, veggie burgers, hot dogs, refreshments, and veggie food from the Forrest Street City Farm will be available.
Friday Sep 19, 7PM @ 2640 : Inside Out Fashion Show
Showcasing Baltimore's Fashion from Within.
Baltimore is a city of weirdos. We often don't fit THEIR standards of beauty, class, taste and style. Even when we do, it's a little twisted somehow. In light of that, and in the glaring, runway light of all the enormously charming talent this town has to boast, 2640 is excited to host inSIDEout. For one night only, B*More's beauties will traverse two criss-crossed runways, loaning their swag to fresh, original gear from some of MobTown's top designers and shops.
Come see and be Seen.
Saturday Sep 20, 12PM @ 2640 : Baltimore Free Store: Free Market
The Baltimore Free Store is an all-volunteer organization collecting donated and salvaged items to make available to people without charge. The Baltimore Free Store’s forward looking focus is on establishing permanaent Free Market locations throughout the city.
“Give what you can, take what you need." Take What You Want! Everthing Is Free! It's not a gimmick, it's not a joke. We are giving out free stuff! We take donated items and redistribute them throughout Baltimore City in order to promote community, reuse, and generosity.
CLOTHES! TOYS! ELECTRONICS! BOOKS! GAMES! HOUSEWARES! SHOES! APPLIANCES! MORE!
