Members: Scott Adler, Gonzalo Alonso, Michael Barrientos, Shanna Bengtson, Alicia Flor, Vivek Saraswat, Elana Zizmor |
 | Smorgaschord
Smorgaschord draws its name from ancient runic inscriptions of abundant food and music, the combination of which may lead to harmonic indigestion.

Look for the shoppers with a wide variety of musical styles and poorly-balanced nutritional choices. Hey, where did you find that bacon-flavored chocolate? Follow us on Facebook or Twitter and get your shopping cart harmonized. Members: Alexandra Langston, Mia Whitfield, Patti Schank, Harold Zable, Bill Anderson, Larry Hamel |

Those among ye of a certain respectable age, with a sharp eye (or two, if ye're lucky!), might observe that our crew bears a passing familiarity with a group once known around these parts as Strangers In Harmony.
