Part of the message to Yoko from Keith Buchholz:
"As part of the activities, we'll have a WISH TREE at the cultural center, and will be gathering the wishes at the end of the day to send to IMAGINE PEACE TOWER. Also, we're having a large IMAGINE PEACE banner printed to hang in the space. We'll be performing both recent scores by young Fluxers, and classic scores from the early days of Fluxus. Yoko will be well represented, she's such an inspiration to us as we carry on the work!"

John Cage's Indeterminancy
staged by Keith A. Buchholz
C. Mehrl Bennett's report: Keith Buchholz installed lots of old radios on pedestals and distributed John Cage's written words for Cage's score "INDETERMINACY" ‐ which also involves people randomly adjusting the channels/volumes on the radio as people took turns reading Cage's words. Video by Jonathan Leiter.
