Hey, Buddies ! What are you all doing on Saturday ? Well, I know what I hope to do (God Willing !) 1- April 26th - Procession of the Species and then, 2- musical fund-raiser to benefit Handicapped Palestinian Children - Rachel Corrie Center in Rafah, Palestine. (Details below.)
1- Procession of the Species - 45,000 people show up from around for this event - so, pack a picnic basket and be there early. http://www.procession.org/ The Procession of the Species is a joyous, spontaneous artistic pageant where community members celebrate their relationships with each other and with the natural world. It was started in 1995 by a group of Olympia residents to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Earth Day and to support Congressional renewal of the Endangered Species Act. NOTE - No signs, no written word, no spoken word, only actions, music, animal stuff. Be sure to bring your camera and lots of tape.
