It’s time again for the annual Cacophony Society event where we throw our money away! This ritual of abundance belatedly celebrates the Autumnal Equinox (copper IS a Fall color, after all…) and affords us the opportunity to act silly in public (like we need an excuse…). Spare change the passers-by (offering, of course); give people a penny for their thoughts; sow the seeds of good luck by leaving lucky pennies for folks to find; dance down Haight Street singing “Pennies From Heaven” and other overly-optimistic Depression-era ditties. But save enough pennies to ride the carousel in Golden Gate Park! Synchronized bevies of copper-lamé clad showgirls/boys tap dancing lavish Busby Berkeley-like production numbers are always encouraged, but somehow never actually materialize. Never the less, you’ll never have so much fun losing money as at the annual Penny Parade!

Where: Meet at the corner of Haight & Ashbury, SF (Ben & Jerry’s corner)

When: Sunday, November 4th, 2007; 2:30 SHARP! (Remember: clocks “fall back” Sat. night)

Bring: Your penny jar!

Attire: Monetary, copper, or autumnal apparel admired
