Soup night this coming Thursday conflicts with a Don Hellions + Magic Johnson + Here Comes a Big Black Cloud + Stag Bitten show. So here’s what I’m thinking:

SOMEWHAT MOBILE SOUP NIGHT #2

I (or whomever else wants to help) will prep some soups the night before and bring them via the MOBILE SOUP UNIT X-10-50 to corner of SE 10th & Morrison. You will ride there with spoon at the ready, prepped only for consumption. THERE WILL BE NO TALKING! At a certain time I will leave you all to play. At that time I will hand off the MSUX1050 to Max Ogden, who will not be joining us at the show because, well…

MAX!!!! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO AFTER THAT!? WHERE WILL YOU BRING THE SOUP TO NEXT!?

…but don’t get too upset, because in two weeks I think we’ll be having the much-anticipated Speed Dating Soup Night.

As with everything, plans could change so I’ll keep updating this post as needed.

-vinh!

He’ll be presenting a shortened version of a public lecture he gave a few weeks ago, “Art & Design in Contemporary Urban India,” talking about the experimental media lab CEMA, Design Anthropology and other good stuff.

UPDATE 1: He’ll only be gone from Portland for about a month and a half.

UPDATE 2: This will most likely take place at 2124 SE Belmont.

UPDATE 3: Tonight we’ll have: Sambar, Aloo Gobi Stew, & some lassi (sweet w/ cardamom, mint, cilantro)

Strangers aren’t always keen on another stranger’s food offerings, by the way. It’s funny how people respond when you offer them free soup. Outside of Clinton Street Theater, and PDX Film Fest, the ask was mostly met with an incredulous pause. At the galleries, people were more accepting.  I suppose being in a room with like-minded people makes eating random foodstuffs easier.

And the people! A hearty thanks goes out to all the people who ate soup and conversed. You are the wind benath soup night’s wings.

So let’s recap: Clinton Street Theater and PDX Film Fest (forgot your name, owner dude, but thanks for not kicking us off your stoop! also, word to the blog love!) :: Goldsmith Building, Spectre (a great space, but not sure if it’s a gallery. hey, they ate and loved the soup…) and, of course, Homeschool Art Shop (totally granular! let’s do shows in the sweet-ass garage! you galz rulz!) :: Fontanelle Gallery and Shawn Creeden’s cave! (check out his show if you haven’t, it’s beautiful)

Update 1: We’re offering two soups tonight, Lemony Asparagus Rice Soup & Cream of Green Bean w/ Hazelnut Milk

Our first stop will be at Clinton Street Theater around 6:30 in support of the PDX Film Fest and artist Ben Coonley.

The second stop, at 7:30, will be at the Goldsmith Bldg, 412 NW Couch, in the Opulent Project space, in support of the homeschool project.

At 8:30 or so, we’ll move on over to an exhibit at Fontanelle Gallery, at 250 SW Pine, for a show by a fellow soup-nighter, Shawn Creeden

Depending on weather and interest, a fourth stop may be somewhere in the SE outdoors around 9-9:30pm, and will be a projection of something awesome. More details to follow. Bring a jacket and some tons of booze.

Eat soup. Ride bikes. Ogle artworks. It’s Soup Night!

Possible ideas running through my head right now…

• Mobile Screening Unit X-10-50! Extreme hotness to the max!
• H1N1 :: The Hamdemic of Epig Proporktions! (can we make raw pork vegan soups?)
• We we do things online: What the fuck is twitter? MySpace sucks ass and here’s why. Stop typing already and get on Skype! Okay, okay, I understand the potential value behind Facebook, but isn’t keeping friends supposed to be a little difficult? (that sort of thing)
• Nipple slips and fuck words! The FCC and Censored Soups!
• How to spot bad graffiti in PDX… oh wait, it’s everywhere. How to improve the graffiti scene in your neighborhood!

okay, those are my ideas. what are yours?!
