<p>Open
 to adults 18 and older. Please join author and law professor, Melissa 
Jacoby, for a fascinating, accessible discussion on how to bring justice
 back to America's debt system. Think bankruptcy only affects 
individuals in trouble? Think again. Bankruptcy has shifted from a 
safety net for individuals to an "escape hatch" for the wealthy. Don't 
miss out on a lively discussion of what was named one of the Best Summer
 Books in Economics by the <em>Financial Times. </em></p>

<h3>We're back down south!</h3>
<p>Though we aren't haunting a haunted (allegedly) village this time, we are at a new spot on the cape! Jersey Shore, we're back! And bringing the whole dang deck with us. Shuffle up and heal!</p>
<p>Lunar Faire is the bimonthly traveling witchy and weird night market where you find your people, charmed gifts, your soul's purpose, and a mythical escape from the horrors. With rotating themes, a roster of attractions that include off-beat shopping, potions, photo ops, group spell, tap-dancing medium, astrological heckler, fire dancing, drag show, featured performers, and surprises around every corner, this is the year you show up and meet your found family. Follow our trail of chaos from Sussex County down to Cape May back up to New York City! We've been waiting for you. Normies are welcome too.</p>
