Japanese Pop

ATTENTION: Please RSVP at least one day before the event! Sometimes this event is moved to private residences, and we don't want to strand anyone. This is a Japanese speakers event in Georgetown, TX! We will be at Share Tea / Nivi Ice Cream in Wolf Ranch, Georgetown. There's plenty of free parking near the eatery. PAYMENT: Since we are using business property, and it's polite if you purchase something from the establishment. $7 should cover most drinks. There's also ice cream available. We are open to speakers of many levels, including beginners, but to get the most out of meeting, you should know hiragana (and hopefully katakana). A great book for self study is Kazki Watanabe's "Japanese For Dogs". https://www.amazon.com/Japanese-Dogs-1-Kazki-Watanabe/dp/1534988173 Answers: https://japanesefordogs.com/

Let's discuss "Your House Will Pay" By Steph Cha In the wake of the police shooting of a black teenager, Los Angeles is as tense as it’s been since the unrest of the early 199os. But Grace Park and Shawn Matthews have their own problems. Grace is sheltered and largely oblivious, living in the Valley with her Korean-immigrant parents, working long hours at the family pharmacy. She’s distraught that her sister hasn't spoken to their mother in two years, for reasons beyond Grace’s understanding. Shawn has already had enough of politics and protest after an act of violence shattered his family years ago. He just wants to be left alone to enjoy his quiet life in Palmdale. But when another shocking crime hits L.A., both the Park and Matthews families are forced to face down their shared history while navigating the tumult of a city on the brink of more violence. Steph Cha delivers a bravura performance that captures our culture in crystalline detail. *Your House Will Pay* will be read for years. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43615778-your-house-will-pay?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=dsIKCUyMNM&rank=1 At: Lazarus Brewing 4803 Airport Blvd, Austin, TX 78751 🍵 11:00 - 11:20 PM: Get to know each other! ⚡️ 11:20 - 11:30 PM: Lightning round — what were your first impressions of the early chapters? 💬 11:30 - 12:00 PM: Discussion 12:00 - 12:10 PM break 12:10 - 1:00 PM Discussion conclusion Below I will post the discussion questions to think about before the meeting today!

We’ll see what Heather feels like on the occasion.** **Dog friendly, inclusive activity.** **I will attempt to arrive by 6 to pick a group spot (likely farther from the stage). Feel free to come and go as necessary. I will hopefully remember to bring both of my picnic blankets which I am happy to share.

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
