Holocene!? more like Holocene with SOUP! dang.

May 22, 2009 - 11:11 am

I got nothing this time around, folks… my apologies.

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!?

Soup Nights are gatherings of people who want to eat and socialize. Meet new people, talk, watch movies, performances, listen to music or play games. Eat soup. Be happy.

Soup is provided by the host and should reflect current or cultural themes. Feel free to bring bread, wine, beer, cookies, or other edibles to share with everyone. Don't worry about anything fancy or being able to feed everyone.

As more and more people share the world becomes a souperior place.

We would like to see this become a regular event, happening every Thursday. Of course, obstacles could arise, like annoyed roommates, empty bank accounts or, dare I say, lack of interest. But let's be honest, how could you lose interest in soup night?

Also, soup night rulz.

Also! There's a temporary place to add notes, thoughts, ruminations, comments, names, or whatever you want. It's a super-high-tech-realtime-collaboration-revision-keeping-platform called EtherPad. It's essentially a wiki, so edit it and save revisions and delete things... you can't break it.
