Informal Group Events On a related note, my neighbor and OWA member Mui Ho recently introduced me to the Aurora Theatre in Berkeley, just down the street, in the shadow of the Berkeley Rep Theatre. Checking out their web site I found an upcoming play, called "Private Jokes, Public Places" written by Oren Safdie (son of Moshe Safdie) and directed by Barbara Damashek. This is a satire on academia, specifically architecture. It is set during a thesis presentation by a young woman to a panel of men. It runs April 6-May 13, 2007. I'm thinking it might be a lot of fun to get a group of us together to see. Send out a Yahoo! Group email if you're interested. Another event that the Steering Committee is interested in organizing is a round table discussion on "Best Practices of Architectural Firms" focusing on billing issues, reimbursable expenses, employee vs. independent contractor, etc. We are looking to do this casually at a restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. We are thinking about 8-10 participants and if more people are interested we'll try to find a restaurant with a private room. We'll send out an email to solicit interest and restaurant suggestions. |
