Every few moon cycles we gather upon a region of the LA River that many know as The Slab & we affectionately refer to as The Lilypad. For decades our friends and neighbors have sat with this cement for birthday parties, film nights, punk shows, art openings, service days, and over the years we’ve pretty much hosted each of those here as well.

Along the 51 mile stretch of the LA River are three locations where the waters held their ground against the pouring of cement when the Army Corps of Engineers attempted to channelize the entirety of Paayme Paxaayt nearly 100 years ago: the Sepulveda Basin, Glendale Narrows, and the Willow Street Estuary.

These sites are beacons of ungovernability, of resistance to overdevelopment, and wildland-urban interfaces where we have so much to learn whether it’s bird migration or hydrofeminism. We hope to see you scheming and dreaming along the Glendale Narrows where we most regularly gather, whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth.
