PRIOR TO CHRISTMAS-- IN NOVEMBER-- but the encroaching horror of Christmas and the ubiquity of widely distributed catalogs prompts a turn of the pages of one of the worst offenders. "Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers. Little we see in Nature that is ours." A solo effort, and this, the bile and vinegar of solitude, prompts these bitter musings. With the usual prophecy, poetry and pedantry. The show on December 2nd must perforce be a re-run, since Dr. H. Owll will be at Patricia's Green in Hayes Valley, helping out the cat-worshiping cult of Holofelinity at showtime next week. On stage with a bevy of cat-costumed chorus girls, he will host the Cat Priestess Fashion Show after doing something of his usual act. There will be a DJ. The Cat-o-lith statues of David Normal, now installed, will be welcomed to the locus by a ribbon-cutting ceremony as a chorine with an oversized pair of ceremonial scissors will make the fateful snip. Learn about pre-human cat-centered civilizations and their downfall. Lectures will describe the extraterrestrial feline influence; KrOB will present a visual trip through the Cat Universe. Dawn Jian will bring the Rocker of Abundance. A Marching band, Mission Delirium will play. This event is open to all comers and FREE. Sponsored by Burning Man and the Hayes Valley Merchants' Association. It is in the open air, and COVID contamination unlikely. Nearby stores and restaurants will be open. Starting at 6:00, it'll run up to and probably past 10 PM. So, back here at the Studio, a re-run will be playing.
