Live, from Fairfield, Iowa
Where in the world is Bernie DeKoven? So glad you asked.
As described in this weekend's Fairfield Art Walk: "Bernie DeKoven, renowned author of The Well-Played Game and Junkyard Sports, is coming to Fairfield for a weekend of fun and learning Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3, 2008. Bernie uses games of all kinds to explore how to make our lives more enjoyable and fulfilling, and how to be fully engaged and present in activity, individually and with others.
Bernie will be leading two workshops, co-sponsored by First Fridays Art Walk and the Fairfield Community Learning Project."
This evening, a genuine Junkfest, with Junkyard Symphony, and, among other delightfully silly things, Giant Pick Up Sticks as well, even? Tonight, a reading/performance from Recess for the Soul. Tomorrow, a bit of Leading with Fun, a smattering of Tabletop Olympics, interspersed with some Pointless Games sprinkled with a hint of flow and coliberation.
Amazing how a city of 10,000 can support such an event. Amazing how local activist Steve Cooperman, who conducted this interview, has been able to galvanize this remarkable community, all in the name of fun.
Let this be a lesson to us all.
