What happened for MardiGrass? And why is this webpage starting to look like a toilet roll? These are just some of the questions being asked out loud inside the H*E*M*P*party Bar, and I only have some of the answers. This year the H*E*M*P*party Bar was host to the PoT ArT Exhibition and the PoT PoeTry Exhibition. Another answer would be
that the H*E*M*P*party
Bar is POLITE FORCE Head Quarters and the Polite Force is
becoming one of the most successful propaganda weapons we have ever
assembled, how successful? Highly! If you can remember and if you were
there, no matter where you went during MardiGrass 09, any time day or
night, everywhere you cared to look you could see a POLITE hat or a
member of the POLITE FORCE staging a succession of what where in
essence, and by design, Avante-garde Tableau Vivants:
Avant-garde means "advance guard" or
"vanguard", the adjective form is used in English to refer to people
or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with
respect to art, culture, and politics. Avant-garde represents a
pushing of the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or the
status quo, primarily in the cultural realm. The notion of the
existence of the avant-garde is considered by some to be a hallmark of
modernism, as distinct from postmodernism. Tableau vivant is French
for "living picture." The term describes a striking group of suitably
costumed actors or artist's models, carefully posed and often
theatrically lit. Throughout the duration of the display, the people
shown do not speak or move. The approach thus marries the art forms of
the stage with those of painting / photography. Each
tableux capturing the POLICE - POLITE message, thousands and thousands
of photographs of the POLITE FORCE have now become part of the public
domain, the concept is out there and thriving on facebook and youtube,
indeed the POLITE Cannabis Activists from Nimbin have already become a
global phenomena and part of cannabis law reform legend. Speaking of H*E*M*P Party Political meetings, at all of the the meetings since MardiGrass, it has been decided to "carry forward" the "BiG JoinT goes to Canberra and Sydney Mission" into the new financial year. Projections are that a BiG Joint Mission would attract more attention on Bondi Beach, for example, in spring than it would in winter.... Keep your eyes on www.BigJoint.org for on going developments. Another answer you might now be expecting is that on the way to and from Canberra with the BiG Joint we will be re enacting the 1999 People Drug Summit at N.S.W Parliament house and making 'photo op stops' every town in-between. And so, now, everyone ought have a much better idea about what the H*E*M*P*party Bar did whilst the MardiGrass swwwirled around it, I know I have now that it's written down. Almost forgot, almost forgot to tell you the reason why this page is looking like a toilet roll. There is a new html chassis for this dot com being 'marked up' in my wwworkshop and it's not finished yet, so, in the short term, the latest stuff is up the top in this black box. till next peace
