there have been anonymous one pots reportedly held around the globe - i have gotten dispatches from slovenia, kentucky, quebec, dinners that people decided to put together under the one pot banner. some of these wonderful people send over pictures, and accounts of the evening - here is one such fete held in an ecological park in morelos mexico. the pots slowly stewed in a solar cooker - still waiting for the details of the menu.

one pot + bridge motel = sept 15
for one strange night we get to witness a kind of haunting – something like poltergeist meets psycho meets artaud – wtf? – apparently there is a motel in the deep north end of seattle – and according to posted warnings it will soon get blown to bits – but in that moment – that inbreath – before it is rubble – a few dozens artists are going to inhabit its halls, back themselves into its yellowed rooms, tumble among the stained and rich sheets. installations, performance art, war dances, like I said… hauntings. I really couldn’t tell you much more than that. but I suggest you pack the family cruiser and head in a northerly direction.
we are going to do something that night – I am still deciding – but it will include a long table – and some big pots – and plenty of food – but it will also include participation – I need volunteers and the curious – we might just gather a large pile of food – and start cooking together – and then dine on whatever we jointly prepare. I think that is the idea – a kind of ritualized cooking among strangers. so I guess - let me know if you want to come along.
and if you want something a little less cryptic about the bridge motel business – go to http://www.motelmotelmotel.com/ - MH
post script: 40 people showed up to create dinner - and found a kitchen - a table - and no-host. they had to create their own feast - the food was there - in pristine condition - unprepared - but with instructions - the night was a tremendous success - or so they tell me - they fed around 80 people that night in the middle of the maelstrom of the bridge motel. and i got to shoot a cautionary message through the one pot work: in this strange land of pots everyone is completely responsible for their own experience - culture is created, not produced.
