Potluck and Propaganda

Hello again Propaganders! Here are a few updates and reminders before the gathering tomorrow:

- The event will take place at 58 Tehama, San Francisco CA.

- We are still accepting video suggestions for "open decks". Keep in mind that the intention behind the party is "Unity - no separation".

- P&P is free as always but if you stay for the party you’ll need to buy a ticket, either at the venue or online at http://entheogenicgarden.com/.

- The potluck theme is home food: share with us some of the dishes which remind you of the holiday season, "family" or "home", whatever these terms mean to you. Otherwise just bring any food or drink that you wish to share with the community.

- If you wish to spare the environment brink your own cup for drinks (BM style). Disposable cups and dishes will also be available.

- Tentative schedule for the evening:
4:00 - 5:00 Community potluck. Theme: Home Food.
5:00 - 6:00 Open Decks
6:00 - 8:00 Movie: The Beautiful Truth
8:00 - 8:20 Rusted Sodom - a film by David Cohen (aka Dog of Tears)
8:30 - 9:00 Pranic Yoga session led by Dmitry Vulfovich.
9:00 - Entheogenic Garden music lineup begins



Stay warm and see you tomorrow!

6. The Grateful Dead Movie (offered by Orion)
For anyone who has never been to a Dead show, it's the most complete capturing of the experience out there. The music, the scene, the setup and strike, interviews, and a psychedelic animated intro.

Hello kids and greetings to all,
Here is an update on what we've got lined up:

1/24/09 - P&P at SeraPhi Healing Center to kick off "Resonance". Hosted by RawHeaven.org, UltravioletCarnival.com & Seraphi.org. Potluck starts at 6pm, we will then show the movie "The Pharmacratic Inquisition". See older blog post for more details. P&P is free as always. $10 will be collected at 10pm if you stay for the party.

2/10/09 - Because of the proximity to Resonance, the following P&P event will be held on the 2nd and not the 1st Tuesday of February. Please mark your calendars. I am preparing something special - going deep into a very controversial topic. There will be recommended reading if you'd like to familiarize yourself. Hey, you gotta work to fully understand the broad picture...

As always you are invited to join the community potluck, so bring a dish a drink or a friend (real or imaginary).

Potluck and Propaganda is aimed to present information and encourage applying critical thinking. Let go of your belief systems (BS) and investigate different reality tunnels. The opinions expressed in the event do not necessarily reflect the ones of P&P or its organizers.

Some of you might already be aware of the psytrance party that will take place on Saturday, January 24th at the new Sera Phi center "Sera Soma". Looks like we will have the space between 4pm and 10pm to do a P&P event until the music starts.

So please stay tuned, mark your calendars, and contact me if you want to contribute or suggest some content.

I'm trying to figure out which day is best to throw P&P events. Right now I am trying the first Tuesday of the month but I am open to better suggestions. Please help me decide by taking the poll on the top right corner and indicate your preference (even if it is Tuesday). You can also comment to this post of course.

"Potluck and Propaganda" (P&P) is a monthly community potluck dinner followed by a 2-3 hour program on the big screen. It can be anything such as a movie, TV show, YouTube clips, music videos and so on. It will usually take place on the first second Tuesday of the month between 7pm and midnight at my house in San Francisco, CA. The location of the event is not posted on this site for a reason (See side panel). Please contact me directly if you need directions. Regular themes for the evening include: science, spirituality, social issues, the environment, as well as anything else participants want to share with the community. The name "Potluck and Propaganda" is inspired by a similar event I heard about called "Pizza and Propaganda" (props).
