Looks like the 1000 Print Summer is 54 prints closer after Labor Day in Peavey Plaza. Hopefully, the thunderstorms will hold off today, so they can go over the top. Join us for the last day of the UnConvention in Peavey Plaza in downtown Minneapolis to make a print, a sign, take a tour of the downtown public art, listen to music, or join the Revolutionary Table for some free lunch and conversation.

The UnConvention converged on a MySpace Kiosk in downtown Minneapolis for the RNC this morning. Frances Kane of “Project Girl” at Intermedia and teenage MySpace advisors Alanna Maloney and Sade Odumuye invited the mayor to be a MySpace friend and contemplated the question “what is democracy?”

Marcus Young (Bird in the Sky Primary School of Behavioral Art) and friends practiced dancing where dancing doesn’t belong yesterday inside the “soft perimeter” of the convention site. Marcus reports “We had a thrilling and meaningful practice today.  8 of us changed the emotional air of the spaces in and around Rice Park–more police photos, a bit of grumpiness, but lots of smiles and bewilderment.  One of us even spotted Jon Stewart enjoying our work.”
