This is your official invitation.

You have been randomly (or not) selected from adrift in the cosmos to attend the Strawman's Ball at PS1 in Iowa City, IA on April 23rd at 6PM (you may want to put it in your phone now as a date for which you don't need to worry about dinner). The Strawman's Ball is a gathering of people hosted by master folk artist John EEE and involves the serving of food and the reading of words (and although it sounds formal it is indeed not). Please feel free to attend. And if this participatory yet erratic process for serving dinner and words is too strange, too mysteriously haphazard, or too much like an empty marketing ploy for a dying art exhibit, please take our dollar as collateral for the confusion we have caused. We are trying to embrace patterns we don't understand. We are trying to make the private public and the public private. We are hoping to be present. I will do my best to make it worthwhile: I will (try to) bring good food and (try to) read good words (but not too many as I don't want this to be unnecessarily lengthy). I can't wait to see you.
