Fazool has Muslims in Minneapolis and nothing on the calendar. Whatever you put up first becomes the page this city lands on when it goes looking for something to do at the weekend.
Free to host. About a minute of work.
Worth knowing before you pick a time and a place, because the metro is not one crowd.
The centre of Somali life in the United States, dense and walkable, where an evening event does not need anybody to drive.
A separate community from Minneapolis with its own masjids, and one that will not automatically hear about something announced across the river.
Families and a wider spread. Weekend daytime, and indoor space matters for five months of the year.
The first few events in a metro follow a pattern. These are the ones that fill.
Football on Saturday morning beats an open invitation to hang out. A fixed slot gives people permission to turn up alone.
Twelve people every fortnight builds a room. One large launch that never repeats builds nothing.
Sisters only, brothers only, families, students. The vaguer the audience, the fewer people feel invited.
It may as well be you.
