Text reads: i appreciated such a relaxed, spacious, non-packed opening yesterday! everyone was required to wear a mask indoors; all doors were open so it wasn't stuffy at all, and there was access to the roomy outdoor area. this was one event that was actually consistent and the staff + volunteers did their best to enforce the indoor mask requirement. felt v community-oriented and as safe as it could be. wish there were more events like this in los angeles. thanks y'all! 🥰😷​
