call for artists and actors and peacemakers in LOS ANGELES AREA

oct 5 world cant wait street protest march strike dont buy anything day protest the Bush agenda

on the way over to the meeting on the drive i thought why not
make this thing major fun..........Im helping this group put together with this protest thing and am asking 4 your help...

have EVERYONE who wanted to dress up as their very favorite peacemaker...or
favorite ideal person to which they would aspire to be it they could join
in in costume

....... i came up with this partial list of people we might want to include
in the "Peacemaker Section": thomas jefferson...John Lennon, ghandi, MLK,
MalcomX, jeeeeesus, jane fonda, Krisna, superman, army guys carrying
plowshares, castro, Fredrick Douglas, Florence Nightengale, the silver
surfer(thatll be me) your favorite rock stars, some guys in the V masks,
and here is place for someone who has a skit they want to include;

look at the 1st page of my website.....see the LA peacewheel i made
it was 9 ft high and i rolled it about 10 miles around LA until it finally disappeared and ended up on the Hollywood Sign for 2 days in may 06

think 9 feet high peacewheels

so the idea will be to make 4- 5 wheels: Think of this part of the
protest march as
a large piece of performance art....
everyone is asked
to participate who wants to

the first wheel ....one at the start of the parade of this art piece is
painted to look like a large gear....with the words WAR MACHINE on it.....a
second piece that goes with it will be a guy carrying a piece shaped like a
wedge that says on it COG

the next round rolling wheel piece is painted to look like the
earth....north america and part of europe on it

the next round rolling piece is a peacewheel (large peacsign) made like
feathers- think of the peacewheel i made on my website for this one...but
that looks like feathers

after that wheel, in-between the next wheel,
is the group of people abovementioned, whom ever wants to participate in it
and that is in costume...or has a skit that they want to perform.....in this
group is the peacemakers that i described above...MLK, ghandi, lennon ect...
and any celebrities we can find who want to get it....like maybe yoko is
someone i would try to contact...and some of our own local rock groups here
too....I know a few i can contact here...anyway the middle group is the
peacemakers group

the last wheel will be one with wcw logo and earth burning...and words like;
suggested are:

join with us now...peace is free ///or something like that
impeach bush and stuff

the last wheel is followed by bush cheney condi rummy etc in prison garb and
chains....and hearded by some cro-magnum types with clubs and dragging
knuckles....

followed by another group of the regularly dressed folks

In order to carry this out i will need several things to happen
...
all plans will be made and approved by committee of Erik, CB and me.....2/3 vote rules

assuming this is all doable....i will need to immediately send out call for
artists and performers to participate and act in character

EXAMPLE:

the idea is the parade starts with the 1st wheel and the COG is guy in front
of it ....say like some of the persons want to do a skit for the
media....they tell the cog to stop....the guy with the wedge puts it under
the war machine wheel....while the skit goes on...skit gets done...remove
cog and parade re-starts....and so on ...
