IDEA 20090213 The Real Cantocore

The Cantocore Free On Board show had a great opening. I still thought there happened to be a lot of back patting and continuation of art culture, rather than a raw understanding of Cantocore values. I had the idea while I watched wine drinking and conversations, which are both great things, that a more real experience that would be Cantocore, is to put all the people who attended the Cantocore Free On Board opening into a bus and take them to San Francisco's Chinatown, to a live fish market.

At the live fish market, you order a fish, the owner fishes out the fish, and then clubs the fish with a big stick with worker like precision. If one orders a turtle, the owners use a ban saw to cut the turtle's shell off directly from life, to halves.

Right then and there during the opening, I wanted to take the people attending the event to that fish market and have each and everyone order a fish or a turtle for some cantocore realidad.
