occupy high tea
It's been quite a while since we occupied anywhere, hasn't it! Sorry about that. Don't you hate it when life gets in the way of living? Occupy Wild Rose Brewery last month was a great success. We occupied that patio for a goodly number of hours and sampled some fresh-from-the-cask Seasonal ale.
Next up, the much-discussed, much-anticipated Ironic High Tea. If I had to break it down, I'd wager this occupy is 70% enjoying the occupy experience, and 30% performance art. Read on for more details:
When: Sunday, September 30; 2:00pm until whenever we feel like leaving or the sun goes down and it gets cold, whichever comes first Where: Central Memorial Park, 1221 2nd St SW What: High tea in the park. We're brining fine china and wearing our Sunday best. If you want to go all out and don the Queen's favorite sunhat, have at'er!
Valerie is in charge of providing tea cups, so it's up to the rest of us to each bring the following:
1. A thermos of tea. And cream/sugar, if so desired 2. Delictable finger foods, the likes of which you would find at a fancy high tea. For example, scones with Devonshire cream; watercress sandwiches; strawberry tarts, etc. 3. A blanket to sit on 4. Your camera! We're dressing up and sitting in a park to have high tea. It deserves to be recorded!
Don't forget to wear your Sunday best--getting all prettified is half the fun! Keep an eye on the @occupypatio Twitter feed and #occupypatio hashtag for updates. See you then!
