Blueprints

An hour-long slow walk counting the birds you see. The walk is an excuse to notice nature's beauty with new friends.

One evening a year, a party is held in your street or building. You bring a dish and you meet the people behind the doors you pass daily.

A weekly gathering on someone's front lawn. The signal? A plastic pink flamingo in the yard. Whoever takes the bird home hosts next week.

One afternoon a year, the whole neighborhood turns into a music festival. The stages are front porches, and the musicians already live there.
