        50 Billion Points of Light Unplugged Reunion Tour....Again

On Saturday, May 15th, 1999 the Praxis Group will build a massive public
sculpture near the corner of Lake Street and Hennepin Avenue. The Praxis
Group appears from 10am-4pm, building an altar to our favorite consumer
culture icon- Mr. Ronald McDonald. Please make a pilgrimage to the
location and if ye should get lost on the way, avoid the dragons and
look
for the white lab coat clerics. The Bullhorn Helmet will call all those
near and far to worship. This is a partially solicited but not entirely
sanctioned performance. You are invited to participate with offerings to
the Great Red-Headed One. Please e-mail the Praxis Group at
praxis@tc.umn.edu with questions or examine our web site:
www.waste.org/praxis for a complete description of the Praxis Group's
subversive past. Yours in the Struggle.   


******  Look for the people in the lab coats. Identify yourself as an
ally
by using the word "Foam" in a sentence. If you would like to
participate,
then we'll have a lab coat waiting. The Praxis Group.
