The Dov Khenin Stencil Kit

I just received an email instructing me to print out this stencil, enlarge it on a photocopier, use an X-acto knife to cut out the black parts on a piece of cardboard, and hit the streets with a spray can. The image says "Dov Khenin Wants You at the Ballot on 11.11"



In other news, in honor of the potential new mayor of Tel Aviv, I recently had a dinner for greens, leftists and journalists on my roof. It began as an idea for 20 people to get together but quickly ballooned into 40 people, who through a few carefully thought-out loans managed to eat on normal plates, silverware and cups. The whole evening took one bag of garbage, but I do have a giant crate of empty wine, beer and vodka bottles waiting to be recycled.

A few conclusions about Tel Aviv may be drawn from the event:

First, most Tel Avivians lean to the left and therefore it's almost not necessary to stipulate that your party is for leftists. A telling conversation between my friend and another guest: Friend: "I just moved to Israel." Other guest: "Why would you ever do that?"

Second, Israeli informality is quite convenient; I offered a few people as a seat a cement block, and they took me up on it.

Third, the potluck dinner is fabulous as it provides for an endless expansion of guests, provided they bring their own dishes.

I'd write more but I have to go buy some spraypaint.
