Carousel — Week Ending 15th August 2008
Goooooood morning! Welcome to Friday! Here are some links to get you out of zombie work mode & into ridiculous, happy mode!

“It’s been 44 years since my book of conceptual instructions, GRAPEFRUIT was first published in 1964. On 15 June 1968, John Lennon & I planted two acorns for peace at Coventry Cathedral. It was the first of our many Peace ‘Events’. In the summer of 1996, I picked up from where I left off, and wrote 100 ACORNS. Starting on the 40th anniversary of the Acorn Peace Event on 15 June 2008, I will publish here an ‘Acorn’ every day for 100 days. After each day of sharing the instructions, you should feel free to question, discuss, and/or report what your mind tells you.I’m just planting the seeds.Have fun.Love, yokoJune 2008”

Now, I have an exciting announcement! Dear Melbourne nonpareils! If you’d like to meet some other iCiNG readers in your fair city, a fabulous girl called Antonia has organised a picnic for you! It’s on Sunday August 24th at 1pm in the gardens by Captain Cook’s Cottage (near Flinders Street). The theme is pink — & the food & dress code will be too! There will cupcakes from Sugadeaux (best cupcakes in the entire world, in my opinion!) & Antonia is going to donate $2 for everyone who comes along to breast cancer ribbon day! Amazing! If you can bring something along, like crackers, cheese, plates or a blanket, that would be awesome & a huge help! To RSVP, please email Antonia by Friday the 22nd — that way she can organise the goody bags (!!!) & catering! She will be wearing a pink ostrich feather coat & a lovely smile, so go out & make some super-cute friends! I wish I could attend, but I will be there in spirit, I promise!
& a question for the day. How many rappers do you think own rhyming dictionaries? Answers on a postcard if you please!
