Gary Peterson sent an update out on the CHCF efforts to help the Market merchants; this past weekend saw another $3,000 in sales of T-shirts and the new tote bags, and they're looking for volunteers to staff the booth on Seventh Street for the next two weekends. This weekend specifically, they need two people from 2 to 4 PM on Saturday, and on Sunday, they need two people from 12 to 2 PM and one person from 2 to 4 PM. If you can help, drop Gary Peterson a line!
We also want to send a big “welcome back!” to Eliza, the Market's Australian supporter who's visiting DC and took a few pix around Seventh Street this weekend. Sorry we were out of town, or we'd have met you at Tunny's for a cold one!
Finally, we've been remiss in not keeping people up to date on the construction of the East Hall. While I didn't take any pictures tonight, it looks like they're almost ready for the foundation -- the plumbing is all in place and they've backfilled around half of it, so I'd imagine that we're pretty close to seeing concrete!

Jason,
The construction actually hasn't seen any net progress for the past two weeks. The site was farther along two weeks ago than it is today, with essentially all of the subsurface work complete. It was then recognized - not sure how or by whom - that the wrong pipe size had been used. The last two weeks have been spent ripping out the incorrect pipe, and redoing work that had already been done (but with the correct pipe this time, presumably).
