We would like to

merchandising created to help fund this tour, future ones and other projects. 8x10’s of “Laughing” Larry Berger, autographed and
personalized as collectibles currently in the three styles $15 each, tour buttons: “Chute
the poet! Ship the product!” $2.50 each The official: The

They will be held from 10Am -11Am on the following Fridays : June 7th 2013, June 14th 2013, June 21st 2013 and June 28th, 2013. These will take place at the Brugger's Bagels shop on the corner of Monroe and Goodman streets in Rochester NY. The venue did have two requests: 1 that you park in the Al's bar lot rather than the Buggers lot. I've been told this is because they have actually had complaints that the lot was full and customer thought they were too busy. So please park in the lot next door okay? 2. All attendees buy something off the menu. So come hungry! This event is funded through "Free will offerings to invest in your future!" Suggested Donation$ are $3 but please give what you can! See you Friday! 2949 Monroe Avenue Brighton, New York 14618 (585) 697-0158

And now on to the stuff! .
Hi folks: I told the story of how Pablo Picasso was in a tavern one day and someone came up to him and said " Hey aren't you Pablo Picasso? Could you draw a picture for me?" So Picasso took out a pencil and did a rough sketch on a cocktail napkin. He handed it to the person. They said, hey it looks great! How much do I owe you?" Picasso replied " $10,000." The guy said " Whoa, that only took you ten seconds, why so much?"
Picasso replied " You are not paying for the five seconds it took me to do the picture. You are paying for all the YEARS it took me to become Pablo Picasso and have that of sufficient value to have you approach me in the first place." This story drew a response I'd never figured on. Someone said " Yes but you have to be on a level like Pablo Picasso to get away with it. Of all the millions of folks in Rochester there are maybe 14,000." So I'm starting what's tentatively being called "Picasso's Kids Workshops" to increase those numbers.
