Culture Club

So the book club petered out, but culture club is here to stay.

A word of welcome from our sponsor...

Hello. Arthur Dent here from the Royal Crown Cola corporation. Only joking... Culture club is about a bunch of young kids hanging out together, drinking soda pop, reading Foucault and watching movies. Come on in and have some fun.
