Hello! If you are a jazz ppl particularly in the extended neighbourhood of Brunswick/Coburg we would like to invite you to a jazz village gathering!
Let's be friends and do friend stuff that doesn't involve singing & instruments one (1) time. If we enjoy it, we may do it again!
If you are not based in Brunswick/Coburg area but would still like to come, please feel welcome to join us anyway! Thank you for making the trip!
BTW our gathering location is the cafe on 49 Pearson Street which is now called "O.X. Cafe" not "John Gorilla" - so do not be alarmed that the signage is different!
AND in case a lot of people come, we may go straight to the courtyard at the back. If you can't find us try the courtyard :)
We are sorry it is so early in the day this time but it's important to take a first step sooner than later and this is the soonest good time that James and Umar are free! It is important to have 2 people there just in case nobody else shows up HAHAHAHAHA but you will, won't you. Yeahhh you will

BUT UMAR, AM I A JAZZ PPL?
ok, that is a question! here is the full complex equation to work out whether or not you belong in the gathering as a jazz ppl:
1. are u willing to be recognised as a jazz ppl by others at the gathering?
TWO. are u willing to recognise each and every other person at the gathering as also a jazz ppl?
if u answered yes to both questions, then u are a jazz ppl. There is nothing else to it.
Congrats!

(I believe that COMMUNITY is what happens BY ACCIDENT when you SHOW UP and YOU DO NOT GET TO CONTROL IT OR CONSUME IT but you GET TO ENJOY WHATEVER IT ENDS UP BEING and you WON'T HAVE THE COMFORT OF KNOWING WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE AHEAD OF TIME but you WILL HAVE THE COMFORT OF KNOWING THAT EVERYONE ELSE WHO COMES JUST WANTS YOU TO BE THERE AND DOESN'T NEED ANYTHING ELSE FROM YOU OTHER THAN THAT. And all of that is GOOD. Sincerely, Umar Zakaria)
