Are you a magician? Do you know how to draw? Are you a dynamic multitasker that can speak the ancient language of Adobe, use a cell phone, and lead a team of wild banshees in a 20 minute meditation? Perhaps you’re good at tying knots and small details? We’re looking for people who can THINK differently. Signups for the potluck dinner are below.
