Press conference and The World March takes off

Yesterday, the 2nd of Oct The World March started from Wellington, New Zealand.

They've been on the road for one day now and we are psyched to welcome them to Sweden come the 29th of Oct.

Yesterday we also participated in the press conference held by the The World March co-ordinator in Sweden. Andrea did a awesome job in relaying what we are up to that among other things includes:

• 7 days in bed for peace at Clarion hotel Södermalm, Stockholm

• 12hrs a day live video-streaming on the Internet of the event.

• Hosting of Yoko's 13 Days Dance Festival for Peace from our beds

• Hosting of a Mass Bed-in the 29th of Oct from our beds

• Each day a new Dance Piece for Peace

• Theme days starting with "Opening Day", what else?

There will be a lot more going on during the week but it is a good idea to make a long lists short on a blog. Or so they tell me.

What we missed out on yesterday was Perfect Performance Inspirational shock taking place over at Dansens Hus. We were told it was a very cool event. Sad I missed it but some has to work. Really!

Peace!

Update: 13 Days Dance Festival in 6 days is growing

Every day new participants sign up for the festival. We are psyched about the whole endeavor and hope the steady stream of new participants will never stop! :)

If you missed it you can sign up to the right.

So, right now I am sitting at Mellqvist Söder. Just had to mention it since Hedvig working here promised to sign up for the festival, very cool. Lollo as well - so there the woman with so much cred she scares ppl now officially is a part of the 13 Days Dance Festival for Peace!

Here they are!

Oh, and you can find a picture of us over at Perfect Performance!

Peace!

Spreading the word

Spent the day mailing, among others our super-producer Louise and the boss over at PP - he spoke passionately about football.

Ok, we are now trying to find florists who are willing to support our cause!
If you are a florist or know of any florists who you think would like to help us out, have them contact us!

Wednesday I went on a meeting with Mabel to Kulturhuset. We met with Jaana and Mabel explained what The World March is all about, about the Nuclear Abolition Flame initiated by the mayor of Hiroshima and activities taking place the 2nd of Oct. That's the date when the World March for Peace and Non-Violence will take off in New Zealand. If you've missed it, the march will arrive in Stockholm, Sweden the 28th of Oct, the night of our Mass Bed-in. I Spoke about our plans in conjunction with The World March - the Mass Bed-in. The meeting went well and among other things we spoke about showing the Bed-in at Kulturhuset. It would be fantastic - we won't march for peace but among other things we'll dance for peace.

Anders over at Mellqvist Kaffebar Södermalm said he'd be psyched about showing us on their wall during our Bed-in. Whoa, very close to home but very cool, if he can work it out.

So for now we have Mellqvist Söder, Clarion Söder and perhaps Kulturhuset on our list of places that will show the Bed-in. Where will this end? Heh!

Peace!

Off to plot

Friend called me, he wanted tapas.
So off it is, off to plot.
Could be worse.

Bed-in Stockholm 2009 - Re-activism

In collaboration with Perfect Performance
(http://www.perfectperformance.se)
and The World March for Peace and Non-violence
(http://www.theworldmarch.org/) we will do a "Bed-in" at Clarion Hotell, Södermalm in Stockholm, Sweden, for Peace and to celebrate the 40:th anniversary of Yoko & Johns Bed-in in Amsterdam 1969.

The Bed-in will take place between the 24:th and 31:st of Oct, 2009.

We want to use our Bed-in to reactivate and bring forth a message of Peace. It's re-activism for peace.

We will be updating this with current news and activities.
