I went to my first Monkeywrench Cafe today. The Monkeywrench Cafe is a fundraising event held at a household where food is ordered and served and people tell stories of their previous activist work. While it may not sound enthralling, it certainly was. I almost didn't go because of other plans but decided at the last minute to accompany my roommates there and I am so glad I did.
We all have conversations and we all watch movies but how often do we gather around and listen to one person tell stories? Not often enough, that's for sure. The oral tradition is lost on our culture and I enjoyed this opportunity to revive it. I can't wait for the next one!
