Do you listen to new bands but feel too old to go to their shows? Or, do you tend to go but feel weird about being the oldest person there? There are lots of great shows coming to town and there is NO LAW against grayhairs going to live new music. The solution is to go together. We can strategize ways to stay up beyond our bedtimes! All members are welcome to suggest any kind of new music event on AH. The "Hipster" label is entirely tongue-in-cheek. We're not all that strict about the "ag …

Not the best time of year to start a group like this, I know. But I've enjoyed at least trying to grow an interesting mix of plants in my backyard - killing more than a few unfortunate ones along the way - and thought it would be nice to share experiences, ideas, tips with like-minded individuals. If you've done something similar, are thinking about it, or just have a fondness for gardening and landscaping, we'd welcome having you on board. We can discuss yard features such as ponds, streams, re …
