DESCRIPTION:Shaping San Francisco, "a participatory community history project 
 documenting and archiving overlooked stories and memories of San 
 Francisco," is producing a combination revelatory history evening 
 presenting the San Francisco origins of the game of Monopoly, and a board 
 game night following the presentation. Come get wised up, and stay to join 
 in convivial amusement.\n\nDavid Giesen, amateur historian, will present an 
 interactive history of the game of Monopoly, exploring its political roots 
 in San Francisco, and those political roots' relevance to living in the 
 city today. He'll have a facsimile of the original 1904 game, and editions 
 of Parker Brothers-busting versions of the game. Along the way he'll 
 introduce you to Lizzie Magee, the woman who devised the game, inspired by 
 San Francisco's Big Idea that social control of land value will lead to 
 affordable housing for all. \n\nAfter the interactive talk, stay to play 
 board games (bring your favorite) and make new friends!\n\nHousing rights 
 activists are sure to stagger home, drunk on the deep history and import of 
 the original game.\n
