As always, if you’re wondering if I’m going, please feel free to ask.  As I hear about others (Suggestions are always welcome), I’ll tweet about them here and hashtag them “ConsortiumList”.  Hope to see you at one of these!

After another brief hiatus, I’m back with some suggestions for what to do after work this week (At this rate, I’m going to have to start just sharing my Web-based calendars):

• Mashable & 92Y Social Good Summit: Monday night, 92Y, 1 PM (The summit’s organizers promise a discussion of how new media can help “address the world’s challenges.)
• We Heart Art presents Jacqueline Monique: Monday night, Empire Hotel rooftop, 6:30 PM (Monique’s work, described as provocative,” “poetic realism,” and “unique,” will be on display while a jazz band plays.)
