8:30 am to 5:30 pm
Ferry Trip to Spectacle or Georges Island

SUN 6/14

Noon
"10,000 Questions": Opening Ceremony

Somerville's question man is out on the road, and answering stuff Tibetan-paryer-wheel style. Music and dancing to ensue.

SUN 6/14

Noon to 6:30pm

Maybe this is an entre into James Joyce -- or maybe enough to sound intellectual in the future...

Drink, draw, and be merry.

This month's model: Sugar Dish of Babes in Boinkland, who has been a cool model before.
A couple of tips: Come on time to get a seat up front. Keep it small so others can crowd in around you. Bring your stuff in a milk crate so you have something to sit on or put your stuff on. (we have lots of seats, but more is helpful)
