4th places: Places where you're not a consumer

I love third places but recently read Jenny Odell's Saving Time where she talks about existing in places where you're also not a consumer (malls, coffee shops, restaurants, etc. ). It's interesting to challenge yourself to find what I call these "4th places". For me, that's parks and walking around neighborhoods, both residential and commercial.

cinema clubs

went to a cinema club - this is what it's all about. community is real! even in the city! it's not all over. i watched natural enemies and boxing helena with my friend and ally charlie. the first was awesome, the second was less so - but arguably more fun. sherilyn fenn is not a star, she is something else entirely.
