Yar, I like the "all ages" aspect rather than "families vs singles". "All ages, reminds me of the Punk credo that even if it meant not serving alcohol it was worth it to include young music-lovers in the crowd.

We had something wonderful going with Sudo Kids. iirc, people from
Hayward were actually driving up here for it. I hope very much that we
can reboot this at our new space.

Vicky has been talking to the OUSD after school program. Oakland
International school is a few blocks from the omni.

I was going to do another library teenzone event this month but burned
out with Omni stuff. TBA.

With respect to the diversity of human kinship structure, I would much
prefer to frame this as accessibility for all ages, rather than
"families vs singles".
