11am
Patrick O'Kane helps Eddie Farrell and Michael Wedgewood cut vegetables and prepare soup.
2pm onwards
A Soup Kitchen opened in CHELSEA space and free soup and wine was served by Eddie Farrell, Paul Carr, Patrick Loan, Michael Wedgewood, and CHELSEA space director, Donald Smith.
Everyone was welcome and visitors included students from Chelsea and the Slade, filmmaker Michael Shamberg, and artist Gustav Metzger, amongst others. Soup was taken to the sounds of French 78 rpm records on a wind-up gramophone. With reference to Beckett's years in Paris and the St Quentin Drama Workshop, the atmosphere was somewhere between a cheap Parisien caf and a prison canteen.
5pm
Eddie Farrell read a Short play by Daniel Kharms. As Eddie started reading, he took the first swig from a bottle of vodka, which he then passed round. Everyone present took a drink from the bottle and, as Eddie finished the poem, so the last drop from the Vodka bottle was drunk! The proposal to read Kharms came from artist Gary Woodley.
6.30pm
A 'Rehearsal Meeting' took place in CHELSEA space. This meeting was one in an ongoing series conducted by artists Eddie Farrell, Paul Carr, Patrick Loan, Michael Wedgewood, Julia Carver and others. Tables and chairs were laid out, overhead projectors and flipcharts were set up, paper hats were worn, and speculative discussions and impromptu lectures took place.
