This sound like a great event, and I love Lava - always meet really interesting people there and they have the best late night food in town. Good DJ set up.

The PAA Summer Camp sounds great - my older daughter would love this... more info here.

I look forward to learning more about the Progressive Arts Alliance!

contemporary arts that stimulate critical thinking and promote progressive thought. PAA serves thousands of students each year.
