November 26. In honor of the weekend that boasts a quartet of holiday conundrums; Black Friday, Buy Local Day, Buy Nothing Day, Cyber Monday and yes, today is Saturday =  Yesiree, Eric Drasin and co. take a field trip to the Kings Plaza Mall in Mill Basin, Brooklyn for an iteration of: The Deal Dweller’s Weigh Station

With the aching question on every Shopping Consultants lips: “If you didn’t have this present and you were only present, what and how would you give?” an illuminous exercise in hacking that object of desire, then notarizing the de-objected wanton from the bottom up. The Deal Dweller’s Weigh Station / Re Charge your InVoice! is a Work In Progress.

Zuccotti Park / Occupy Wall Street. Afternoons in October – November, 3:15 to 5:30ish.

***Please Visit the Archive of Legal Manifestation***

Starting Tuesday October 4th, Yesiree will be asking occupiers to envision the reality they want, not what they don’t want, after a short verbal ceremony concluded by signatures and bell ringing, the form is notarized and submitted into the ledger. Not only does this endorse our statements and expectations (with electro-positive messaging into the universe:)! It creates a compilation of Individual and Variable Demands, not by consensus that each participant by stating, must also vow to help make happen. The Legal Manifestation document will be archived in a TBA location, and or put to other good use as the times will tell. ->>> Come help!!

UPDATE OCT 6th:

SUCCESS! We were swarmed on our first day, participants were excited to have a place to form their individual thoughts.

Before figuring out where the document will go I will work on getting it.

I plan to be at the Zuccotti Park:

Weekdays: 3 – 5 pm  / Weekends: differ. 

Look for a Yellow Balloon.

Please tell people about it and ask them to submit, help make the whole manifestation / document even richer.

I Do need help assisting, telling people about it, barking, reeling! ANd Documentation, photo / video. If you are reading this and have any, Please send!

I will post some envisionments as soon as I have a second.

Early doc on youtube:
