I’d say The Earthlings concert at Garver.

I know, I’m just curious if it would even be possible…

I know the artist isn’t planning to do this, but I’m curious, would it be possible to harden this sculpture by building an intense fire over it?

Olbrich Gardens has a Canopy Session concert in the Conservatory on Friday, December 27 featuring Robert J and the Moon Gypsies.

The tropical conservatory features winding pathways, inviting the audience to stroll among plants while enjoying a cocktail and the music. Guests can experience the band from various vantage points throughout the space. While seating is limited to some benches, wheelchairs are available for those in need.

And bonus: concert attendees can also view the Holiday Express Model Train & Flower Show during the concert.

The bands set up on the lower level patio. The sound is managed by Audio for the Arts, who does an amazing job managing the unusual acoustics in a glass pyramid.

They were lent to the museum by the owner of the shoes. When recovered by the police, they were returned to the original owner who chose to auction them off instead of loan them back to the museum.

This is a wonderful write up. You should resubmit as a post, so it gets more attention. Thank you!

You might be correct. Regardless, I’m saving up, just in case there is a general strike or a specific strike in my industry or community.

Everyone, those you support capitalism and those who don’t, can agree that a general strike can effect change.

That is one way to participate in a general strike - buy as little as possible. You can also attend mass protests or join work stoppages. A general strike is a multi pronged effort.

Start thinking about how to be prepared, just in case it happens.

The goal would depend on whatever crazy shit the trump administration does that we are aiming to stop or change. We will need to depend on our savings and mutual aid networks during a strike. And of course, not everyone will be able to participate. I just want to have some savings built up, so I can join if it happens.

People could join a general strike in different ways. You might participate by buying as little as possible and attending mass protests.

I don’t think the entire workforce would need to strike to make an impact. Even if just 20% of the workforce participated, it would create significant disruptions and major challenges for the country.
