FOOD: Due to economic woes, or something like that, 667 + ideas of (positive) taxation = taxation with art representation. That is to say, they'll be fixin' up a big mess of Stone Soup! Using the fable of stone soup as the model, participants are asked to bring one ingredient for a communal meal. (We suggest a shallot or four. And use some salt for Christ's sake.) Oh, and throughout the soup's simmering "those present will have a conversation about the positive aspects of taxation. Stone Soup is a lesson in cooperation and its social benefits: one ingredient shared = many flavors for all." (You can also sneak in your PS2, and we're sure no one will mind. We kid! Sort of.)

She also collaborates with Shoko Hikage, and presents a new piece created with Native American political leader and singer/drummer Dennis Banks and singer/songwriter Tony Chapman.
