WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY
Diner-Restruc-toure, Chelsea Station, South Royalton VT
6:35AM. RSVP to [log in to unmask]
Friends, after last weeks' debagel (the breakfast world's word for
debacle), we're taking Dinertoure back to its roots. No more hype, no more
pollution via gas burning vehicles, and no more forcing diner employees to
interact with Dartmouth students in the name of a profit. This Wednesday
we'll be meeting in the basement of Robinson. Each Tourer will be given a
cardboard box to sit in (labeled Gus's or Bert's or Walt's or Ernie's) to
reflect how diners use people names to show man's temporary claims to
physical space. All will be given one egg, to reflect the contribution of
animal life, and one grain of wheat, to reflect the contribution of plant
life. Enya music will be looped in the background, and the room's
environment will shift from warmth to cold, light to dark, snow to rain.
This will shows us that all times are diner times. One day we will break
the eggs, grind the wheat, and join boxes with others. But in order to
rebuild the society that could have been, we must go back to diners as  
they once were. The ride is free, bring small bills.

THURSDAY THURSDAY THURSDAY
Searching for peepers!*
Description: *No, peepers are not what you think they are ...  Peepers  
are tiny, tiny frogs that become quite vocal only in early/mid spring.  
They are one of the best signs of spring in New England, and we are  
going to wander through the woods to to listen for them. We'll drive  
out a little ways, either to the O-Farm or down Route 5, and walk to a  
swamp. There ought to be peepers and, if we're lucky, some crazy wood  
frogs too.
