More info: songsforsquid@hotmail.comHere’s what you can do:
* First - save the date & come celebrate!* Second - spread the word to your friends and favorite cephalopods. (Reminder: Cephalopods include the octopus, squid, chambered nautilus, and cuttlefish. All molluscs are welcome, but we’ll only be celebrating cephalopods on this day.)
* Last but not least — if you have (or will have) a CEPHALOPOD-INSPIRED SOMETHING to present or perform at the meeting, please let me know so I can schedule you in! We’re open to all media (music, dance, lecture, fashion, multi-media, art, poetry, puppets, interactive, super-8, slide-show, Other), and although it’s a fairly lo-fi affair we’ll do our best to accommodate your technological needs.
And if you know of someone who might be interested, please pass this on.
Hope to see you there!
This seems like the right time to mention that if plain old Moleskine notebooks have become too dull for you, you can purchase all kinds of etched modifications from Modofly. Those by Dan Hillier tend to involve human-cephalopod hybrids:
(Thanks, Caroline.)
I love this town.
Cuttlefish are frickin' amazing. I highly recommend Youtubing them sometime soon. Their camouflage puts chameleons to shame. Just incredible.
I would never have known thank you. I am the cephalopods fan.
Are there other people in the world like me? Cephalopod lovers? Really? Until today, I've always felt alone!
Cuttlefish can change color to express emotion. Squid can manipulate their colors to hypnotize their prey. Octopuses are the only invertebrate I've heard of who can infer information.
I can't begin to describe how excited this makes me.
I bet that dude on the notebook can shoplift like crazy!
SAVE THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TREE OCTOPUS!
Count me in!

you're grounded, dreamer.
Maybe this will help you appreciate cephalopods (possibly NSFW).
Has anyone in here ever been to one of these events? What was it like?
