Park(ing) Day 10/13/2007

San Francisco poet Dan Brook (PFA #459) dropped by the bookstore today to pick up PFAs and turned me on to Park(ing) Day, a brilliant little fluxus action that just recently took place in The City. From the Park(ing) Day website: "A parking spot is essentially a short term lease. Feeding a parking meter enables one to rent precious urban real estate for as little as a dollar an hour. By transforming parking spots into PARK(ing) spaces we can temporarily expand the public realm and improve the quality of urban human habitat? until the meter runs out!"
