Cara,
That's what all my artistic work has been.  Some is reported in police 
records.
One piece performed in front of 50 reporters (in a newsroom) was not
reported at all --except later in the court records.  The funniest might be
the saga of the effort to create a record -- (by reporting a kidnapping and 
robbery inside the DC Federal District Court during the Trial of the Creative 
Non Violence
Pie Makers after an arrest and seizure of recording equipment of which the 
officers who kidnapped and robbed the recorder refused to provide a record.

It might be more fun than painful to help "compile" some of this
 sometime before I'm too far gone with what is the name of that disease.
All that I know of  is a picture in Sisterhood is Powerful of the hexing of 
Wall St, which thanks to my father in law's reaction I was delighted to learn 
 was timelily
reported in Barrons.

  I did learn from Robin Kelley who wrote to thank me for introducing him to  
RATS that something is mentioned in someone else's
more recent book.  At some point Ill go back and check his reference  for you 
if you wish.  But I have to get moving this am.

Violet Ray, whom I mentioned here recently, staged some great
"pieces" around San Francisco in the late 70s, also before we knew
--- well I think Paul (Violet) always knew -- we were a new form of "art"
--nix that, new generation of dada.  He is now a "cultural historian"
and would probably enjoy helping you.  Altho some of the revisiting
is painful I think for  him too.

Oh, one more thing, Hi, other RATS going to Yugoslavia.  I'd like to share 
the planting of the Labyrinth  of Rue for Pilgrimages of Repentance for White 
Southern Boys who died to have slaves, recent racist acts commited and 
tolerated, and
other harms caused in need of repair" inside the gate of the Confederate
Cemetery by 13 white Southern women a miles walk from Dr. King's
tomb April 4, 1999, the Sat between Good Friday and Easter which
fell that year on the day Dr. King was assassinated.
