Gilbert Gambucci, Music Lesson/Performance

 A music teach-in and performance of participants:
  
 1/ Morning hour piano lesson:  A first piano lesson class (or classes) for beginners of any age. We'll learn to play Paul Strein's Occupy Wall Street Song at the piano. (It's a very easy straight forward piece of music).
 
 2/ Afternoon session:  Learning the words and how to sing the same piece, The Occupy Wall Street Song.
 
 3/ Any evening: a performance of this song (by the participants) at the piano (4 hands) together with the vocals, and possible audience joining in.

Sam Truitt, 100 Texts, Library/Study Center + Panel Discussionss

I propose a collection of 108 texts (Buddhist model of 100 plus eight for any mistakes) related to the practical, theoretical and poetic underpinnings of the OWS movements. What we would shoot for specific to this 108-book project would be a room with books in it and a table and chairs. The table and chairs and floor and walls would all be painted white, and we would provide magic markers (can be colored, too) there, and visitors could write everywhere - thoughts, messages, quotes from books, etc."

The list is being built and contact with the OWS Librarians would definitely be among the next steps.

WS2MS Library Panels

This is an addendum to my proposal to collect and house the 108 books related to OWS movements' underpinnings. If that proposal is approved, I would like to set up three not-too-academic panels directed toward exploring OWS' practical, theoretical and poetic underpinnings. These three panels might elaborate in some respects the texts but are more likely to provide myriad offshoots relative to the unique perspectives of participants.

I would propose each panel would include about five participants and run about a hour and a half to two hours. I would propose having the panels run over the course of a Saturday in April and preferably on a day in which there are other activities/gatherings occurring.

We might partially seed these panels, but we should also do a call for papers in order to be as open as possible and to increase the range of what is possible.

Sam Truitt, Earth Day Action

Occupy the Rip Van Winkle Bridge on Earth Day (Sunday, April 22)


I envision on April 22 (Earth Day) at noon people from the East and West sides of the Hudson River converging on the walkway of the Rip Van Winkle Bridge. A large banner would be unfurled at the center of the bridge on which would be written "Earth day." There might be other things that happen, but I don't envision more than this simple human act.
