Happy December

When the sky is so dark! From Astronomy Today’s Night Sky Guide:

On December 10, 2011, the Moon will slip completely into Earth’s shadow, viewable for residents in Australia and Asia. Europe and most of Africa will get to see part of the lunar eclipse at Moonrise, while North America can watch some of the eclipse at Moonset.

Food Trucks Update

Charlie’s Buns is here tonight, from 5 to 8pm. Yay!

But we don’t expect Lumpia World after all. From their Facebook page:

Good morning Fan Family. Hope everyone had a great weekend with you families. After much thought, BIG L MOBILE will not be out and about this week. HOWEVER, we will still be facilitating delivery / pick-up orders. Thinking of ordering frozen Lumpia for Thanksgiving appetizers, we will be processing orders up to 5pm on Weds. We will be closed Thursday & Friday.

Doors at 6:30pm, play at 7. Pay-what-you-will. (for Playworks)

Ruth McRee and David S. Klein portray two old friends coping with age through humor and straight talk. Produced by Playworks and directed by Paul O’Connell.

This is HPIC’s first collaboration with Arts Crush, a consortium of arts groups who coordinate a month long festival spotlighting theatre, music, literature, dance, visual art, film and more. The performance lasts about 40 minutes and is followed by a discussion with the actors and the director about the issues in the play.
