Dance Piece for Peace II - "Bagism Day" on YouTube!

This is "Dance Piece for Peace II" - a part of "Bagism Day" day 2 of 7. We spent 4 hrs with papersbags over our heads and danced an encore for The World March for Peace's Base Team staying in Savonlinna, Finland, over Skype later that night.

Music: Raga Kausi Kanhra by Ravi Shankar

The World March for Peace

Two members of the Base Team. After their visit to our room they flew heads over heels into a cab and directly to the airport for their flight heading to Copenhagen. They will arrive in Punta de Vacas in Argentine the 2nd of Jan 2010. We never had time to offer them coffee during the visit but we did sing for them.

Give Peace a Chance - Joan says hi!

Joan sent us this picture from her book "Give Peace a chance" - get it over at Amazon. During the week she would call us up and read an essay out of it. This was one of the highpoints of each day.

Two of the stories she has in the book she never got around to but she told us we could hear them some other time - feels reassuring!

One thing that happens during a Bed-in is that your perception of time gets altered in a very radical way. We have to admit we did plan on keeping ourselves busy during the week and busy we were, so busy we didn't have time to post stuff here on the blog as frequently as we would have wanted to - but come to think of it, it was probably due to that same phenomena, the perception of time. Perhaps we moved very, very slowly inside. It is a good feeling anyways, slowing down is a good thing.

Here is one of the original photos Joan sent us. She sent us more, and some real gems... but we can't publish them here. They are NOT out there yet.
