This thread is to document future Dispatches and transcribe them as well as discuss what was mentioned within.

Here's the original email that spear headed this program:

 		Dispatch #1:

http://www.elsewherepublicworks.com/dispatches/FurtherDispatches1.mp3

Name: The Sublime Infusion
Release Date: 9/25/2009
Description: ...oppose the rutabega-chewing mermadons...

Quote:
Attention! Attention! Prepare to receive critical information.
Further Dispatches from Elsewhere:
Commander 14 of Elsewhere Public Works Agency speaking.

Warriors of nonchalance: all structures that block vision will be removed.
I, Commander14, entreat and urge you to keep raised high the glorious banner of Divine Nonchalance
Walls must fall and fences come down

Keep rallying. Maintain the march for mental inviolability. Make no mans mind a slave but your own! Pull the wool over your own eyes. reclaim your birthright.

The future will either be ours or it will be the private preserve of The Jejune Institute and its puppet government representatives.
The mundane world is even now unaware of the great conflict raging all around them and in their midst.

Only the intersession of the vegetable consciousness can create the sublime effusion of pragmatic nonchalance praxis.

We are neither snail men or crab men. We are human and we intend to keep it that way.

Resist cultist tyranny.

Every week they build a new synthetic telepathy projector in a different neighborhood. If that's your local sector you have our condolences. The EPWA sets up our mobile jamming facilities at the site of any development. We must stay ahead of them to be safe.

Look around you!

Behold the effect of the algorithm in non-Nonchalant hands. Anon, non-Nonchalance shall be anathema. Behold the iconoclasm. Only the true Nonchalant can hope to escape its far reaching effects.

Refine and purify.

True Nonchalance can only acquire strength. Only the intersession of the vegetable consciousness can create the sublime effusion of pragmatic Nonchalance praxis.

Continue the rally against and opposing the rutabaga-chewing myrmidons and goondrites in service of The Jejune Institute.

I, Commander 14, solute you.

That would be: "Anon, non-Nonchalance shall be anathema." All revolutionary airs should be this fun to say. Smile

 		Dispatch #2:

http://www.elsewherepublicworks.com/dispatches/FurtherDispatches2.mp3

Name: A Dubious Engagement: Who is Audrey Geigh?
Release Date: 9/30/2009
Description: Audrey Greigh is a supposed "arts curator"...but what are her true intentions?

Quote:

Attention! Attention! Prepare to receive critical information.
Further Dispatches from Elsewhere:
Commander 14 of Elsewhere Public Works Agency speaking.


Today's segment: A Dubious Engagement: Who is Audrey Greigh?

We at EPWA have been corresponding with an "arts curator" named Audrey Greigh.

We do not quite understand her aims at the present time. Perhaps this individual has been subjected to clandestine jejunist retroprogramming and may ultimately benefit from cerebral reconditioning.
Is she trying to exploit our nonchalance? This remains to be seen. But apparently she has produced some kind of an "art show". Show description follows:

"Nonchalance, Zetetic/Peripatetic: Investigations into the Ontology of the Elsewhere Public Works Agency and the First Steps Towards the Formulation of a General Theory of the Practice of Nonchalance."
A failed collaboration between so-called curator Audrey Greigh, who has sadly lapsed into doctrinal error, and Elsewhere Public Works Agency EPWA

The details: All agents and operatives are instructed to investigate for themselves.

Southern Exposures' "Bellwether" SoEx's grand opening and inaugural exhibition October 17th 4-10pm

The "art" show runs from October 17th to December 12th 2009
Soex's new location: 3030 20th street San Francisco California zip code 94110

For more information go to http://soex.org/

This has been information packet N62. Further Dispatches from Elsewhere.

This seems to be very much of a Meta event like the Li-Po lounge protest after party. I hope to get that Saturday off.

They want us to see an art show? Interesting.

Here's the page for the exhibit:
http://soex.org/Exhibit/75.html

The relevant info from the aforementioned page:
Quote:
Nonchalance, Zetetic/Peripatetic: Investigations into the Ontology of the Elsewhere Public Works Agency and the First Steps Towards the Formulation of a General Theory of the Practice of Nonchalants

Part fringe folklore, part comment on group potential, part dérive, Nonchalance creates hyper-real alternate reality games through tightly synchronized constellation of rivalries, quixotic maps, surrogate locations, and chance meetings. For Southern Exposure, Nonchalance presents Zetetic/Peripatetic: Investigations into the Ontology of the Elsewhere Public Works Agency and the First Steps Towards the Formulation of a General Theory of the Practice of Nonchalants, a new public project focused on the failed collaboration between curator Audrey Griegh and rival group, Elsewhere Public Works (EPWA). As visitors walk through the familiar sites prescribed in this work, Nonchalance's narrative layers time and lifts them into a parallel reality of intrigue and the desire to right a topsy-turvy past through inquiry and the ability to just drift.


(Also: SoEx has a new location? I had no idea.)

 		I think it would be AWESOME if we all attended the art show on opening day. Maybe not as loud and rambunctious as we were on April 20th, but I do think some Nonchalance Dress-up may be in order. Wink

A EPWA meet up always equals a good time in my book Wink

Which opening day? Friday, 16 October for members or Saturday, 17 October for non-members?


I am not not a member (yet?).

There's a slight discrepancy between this interview with Kendal Luz and his description of the seagull prank and the description in the newspaper article. Kendal says the entire Savants crew would go in football jerseys to the filed at night and feed the gulls. In the article it says they used referee uniforms

And because we know Eva nicked four jerseys, the newspaper article is wrong on that detail ... which makes the whole thing pitch-perfect. Oh newspapers, when will you ever learn.

 		Looking at the dates, as we all know Eva disappeared on Oct 16. Does this mean we should be attending the "member only" opening on that date? I meal, it's the 21st anniversary. Does it cost money to become a member?

EDIT: Looking at the site, any amount you donate allows you to become a member. Additionally, 14 states that the event begins on Oct. 17. I guess this means we should show up then. Also, I wonder it's coincidence that this event begins on the day of Eva's disappearance.
