Cell Phone Friend Swap
Mark A. Rodriguez
I will trade my phone for someone else's and they can talk to my friends saved on my phone, and I can talk to theirs (and mention what an awesome time we are having at the concert). It will be like MySpace, only more real.

Love Letter 101
Sarah Cole and Tracy Dishman
A creative workshop on composing and constructing eye-catching love letters / 20-30 minutes

Teach Me Something
Michael Parker
Facilitate a specific kind of conversation. More details can not be revealed beforehand, sorry. The five or so participants must not previously know me or each other. / 30 min-1 hour

Ask Alia
Alia R.
Participants will write down a question - anything they want answered - and leave it with me. They may also take my email address if they need time to think of their question. My answers to chosen questions will appear in our school newspaper.

Synchronicious-city
Katie Bachler
Participants will engage in a memory activity, be asked to cite their first conscious memory. I'd like to record it onto my computer and play them back throughout the afternoon. We will discuss memory-making. I will illustrate the brain with diagrams...a memory lesson!

Harmonium or Handstand
Qusai Kathawala
Each participant (one at a time) will have the option of either finding their natural note and exploring that note with their voice on a harmonium with me for 5 minutes or learning do a handstand against a wall in a step-by-step process.

Free-Style French Lesson
Pablo Cavero
The public will learn how to say anything they want in French (as long as I understand it first in English). It could also be an opportunity to have talks about learning a foreign language, and experiences with it.
