“After that we went and fixed some of the fences”
Paul participated in a great project on the weekend. It was the Living Library project at Griffith Library.
He became a “living library book” a day. Anyone that came in to the library could talk to him about his life.
You can read all about it in this Area News article (18 April 08):

It began as sun set over the young Big hART crew. Usually it was the bright Egg Park, tonight devoid of excited children’s screams. A projector screen glowed alone in the park’s grassy corner. Locals nearby stared at an exhibit of photos and captions taken by homeless youth, enthralled in their lonely, cold tales.
Then Ben painted himself pink, the night’s obligatory serious moment halted and we kept partying.

Finally, the mating habits of Egg people and much more are unearthed in this stunning new documentary from noted Director and Philanthropist Ben Navin
For almost half a century, humanity has been kept in the dark on the subject of Easter Eggs. The Catholic Church has denied repeated requests to document the complex relationships that form between the Eggloanian people when not partaking in the yearly festivities. But no more, as for the first time in history, cameras are allowed to record the daily lives of these magnificent people.
Praise for House of Eggs:
“Voyeurism at its finest “ - Margaret Pomeranz
“Exuberant, skilfully done, a timeless classic” - Rolling Stones Magazine
“5 Stars” -Vanity Fair
