On Monday November 8, 2010, I did a series of tarot readings at Bar Olivino in Brooklyn. Here is how I advertised the event:

Hello Friend,

I’m doing some research for my project (http://archivingthecity.com/about) tonight, Monday Nov. 8 (7ish-11ish PM), at Olivino, a wine bar in Brooklyn. You are invited to participate, or just get a glass of wine, if you’re free.

Tarot readings by Adeola

Adeola, an artist, writer, and researcher, reads tarot cards for seekers who are after new ‘visionings.’ ’Visionings’ happen when the seeker and the reader focus together for a short time, and often yield stories and images that can work in a creative and healing fashion in moments beyond the reading itself. Adeola started reading cards in New York City in the year 2000.
