Gowanus Lounge points out the upside-down school bus roaming the streets of Brooklyn lately, and Brooklynians are abuzz about it. The White House Organic Farm Project explains--the group just purchased the Topsy Turvy bus from Ben & Jerry's own Ben Cohen, and tonight they invite one and all to "come support our version of Community Supported Agriculture." A little late notice, but if you can't make it you could still buy a share in TheWhoFarm ("the bounty of course is an organic farm at our shared house, The White House"). Tonight they offer up local food and drink, as well as gorgeous views of Central Park, the zoo, and live entertainment. They'll be in town through the 15th before heading to other cities, festivals and of course Burning Man.
