Kesey is a young, talented novelist who has just seen his first book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nestpublished, and who is consequently on the receiving end of a great deal of fame and fortune. While living in Palo Alto and attending Stanford's creative writing program, Kesey signs up to participate in a drug study sponsored by the CIA. The drug they give him is a new experimental drug called LSD. Under the influence of LSD, Kesey begins to attract a band of followers. They are drawn to the transcendent states they can achieve while on the drug, but they are also drawn to Kesey, who is a charismatic leader. They call themselves the "Merry Pranksters" and begin to participate in wild experiments at Kesey's house in the woods of La Honda, California. These experiments, with lights and noise, are all engineered to create a wild psychedelic experience while on LSD. They paint everything in neon Day-Glo colors, and though the residents and authorities of La Honda are worried, there is little they can do, since LSD is not an illegal substance. The Pranksters first venture into the wider world by taking a trip east, to New York, for the publication of Kesey's newest novel.

    Item 23 CITY COUNCIl REPORT Meeting Date: June 27, 2017 General Plan Element: Economic Vitality General Plan Goal: Sustain Scottsdale as a tourist destination ACTION Adopt Resolution No. 10821 authorizing a FY 2017/18 Tourism Development Fund operating contingency transfer in the amount of $650,000 to the Tourism and Events Department operating budget for use in supporting the 2018 Canal Convergence events. BACKGROUND It started as an idea, a conversation, a meeting and grew into a partnership between the City of Scottsdale, Scottsdale Public Art and Salt River Project. Many others have since joined, all of whom share in the belief that Public Space conceived upon the nature of what supports us, what keeps us here, what inspires our creativity and enables our growth is the reflection of all that is important for sustaining life in this desert city. Canal Convergence is this idea. Since 2012 it has been a place of engagement, a place where international and local artists come together to celebrate a one of a kind community environment and immersive art experience for all, and a new point of pride for Scottsdale residents and businesses. As Canal Convergence began taking shape, the Tourism Strategic Plan adopted by City Council in 2013 outlined the importance of creating a destination event during the tourism industry's shoulder season (May through December). Through the Council appointed Tourism Advisory Task Force (TATF) and Request for Proposal (RFP) process, the city contracted with Webb Management Services to complete a three-phased destination event study. The goal of the study (Webb Report) was to identify events that would: 1.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE presents A TESTAMENT TO THE SHEER JOY OF LIVING A LIFE OF SERVICE TO HUMANKIND AND OUR PLANET THE WAVY GRAVY MOVIE: SAINT MISBEHAVIN' RELEASES NOVEMBER 15 ON DIGITAL AND DVD An unforgettable trip through the extraordinary life of a poet, clown, activist and FUNdraiser “’Saint Misbehavin’’ is an unabashed love letter to the world that defies the cynicism of our age.” – The New York Times September 19, 2011 – “Some people tell me I’m a saint, I tell them I’m Saint Misbehavin’.” Poet, activist, entertainer, clown. These are a few ways to describe Wavy Gravy, an activist and prominent figure during the Woodstock era who continues to spread a message that we can make a difference in the world and have fun doing it! THE WAVY GRAVY MOVIE paints a moving and surprising portrait of his lifelong passion for peace, justice and understanding. The film features extensive verité footage and interviews with Wavy telling his own stories: from communal life with The Hog Farm, to his circus and performing arts camp, Camp Winnarainbow, to the epic cross-continent bus trip through Europe and South Asia that led to the founding of the Seva Foundation. Award-winning director Michelle Esrick weaves together this compelling film with rare footage from key events: Greenwich Village beat poets and folk music, Woodstock, non- violent protests, and many seminal moments of the ‘60s and ‘70s, and Wavy’s present day life. The Gaslight Café The year was 1958. The Vietnam War had just begun. Born as Hugh Romney, Wavy commanded the stage as a poet, comedian “tongue dancer,” and MC at The Gaslight Café in New York City’s Greenwich Village.

    Sheng-Tsung Wang, Violin

    Sheng-Tsung Wang, violin By the age of thirteen, violinist Sheng-Tsung Wang had already given his highly acclaimed solo début performing with the Bremen Symphony Orchestra of Germany. Die Nord Deutsche marveled that Dr. Wang "performed the difficult passages with astonishing understanding, as well as interpreting the lyric qualities with sweetness, bravura, and inspired tone." As a member of the prestigious "President's Own" Marine Chamber Orchestra, SSgt. Wang performs regularly at the White House, as well as at highly distinguished venues in the Washington, D.C. area. Dr. Wang presented his Carnegie Hall début in 1999 with three evenings of solo and chamber performances under the auspices of the La Gesse Foundation, and returned in 2000 with the United States premiere of Peabody Director Robert Sirota's "Summermusic" for violin and piano. He has collaborated frequently with artists such as Earl Carlyss, Thomas Kraines, and the late Stephen Kates. He has been heard most recently in performances at the Austrian Embassy, the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall, as concertmaster of the North American Elite Orchestra, Smithsonian's Museum of American History, Shriver Hall, the Taiwanese Consulate, and Virginia's "Monticello". Of a concert at the French Embassy, The Washington Post admired "Wang's delicate phrasing and nuances." Dr. Wang was resident violinist of the 1999 & 2000 La Gesse Music Festival in France and Italy, and has also been featured in an interview and performance on Baltimore's CBS-affiliate TV station. Sheng-Tsung Wang earned his Doctoral of Musical Arts degree from the University of Maryland College Park School of Music, studying with the renowned string pedagogue Gerald Fischbach.
