Photo Highlights From Our 1960’s Potluck
Sunday was a long, long day. It was hot, we built Fluids, we ate fried chicken and ambrosia salad. We were busy bees. All images that I took from the potluck are in this Flickr set, and others should be in the Portable Potluck Project Flickr Pool.
Above - AGCC Studio Artist Beth Elliott’s Gummi Bear filled, Jello mold, self portrait. This wasn’t the first time I’ve chomped down on Beth’s face, I’ve eaten both cheese and cake in the shape of her face at other events.

Above - Pirkko de Barr’s astoundingly good cardamom bread. I live and die for this bread.
Above - Portable Potluck Project founder Michael Lewis Miller enjoying a baloney sandwich.
Above - I made coconut ambrosia salad. Anything just chock full of sugary marshmallows and too sweet maraschino cherries is right up my alley, and it was an opportunity to deploy a pineapple ring for maximum retroness.

Portable Potluck Project: 1960’s Edition. Held at 5 PM on April 27 in Angels Gate Park, at the end of the Center’s day long Open Studios event and adjacent to a freshly built, re-creation of Allan Kaprow’s Fluids. This is your perfect opportunity to share that fruit filled Jello recipe, aunt Rosie’s ambrosia salad or as seen above that fondue pot you bought at Salvation Army and have tucked away in your closet.
It’s also worth noting that during the day, prior to the potluck, Portable Potluck Project artist Edith Abeyta will be presenting the Mythical Beast Sweet Shoppe in her studio, F-10, at the Center. Unicorns and cotton candy will be involved.

Well, I hungrily made my way through the plethora of edible options available at our first potluck! Barnsdall was a respite from an otherwise hot and dry day, a little bit of cool microclime in the midst of our fair city.
As we were shutting down, while we still had an approximate Last Supper of people, we took the obligatory shot.
I think the food highlight of the evening, at least appearance wise, was Michael Lewis Miller’s lamb-shaped pound cake. I ate the severed head of this little darling.
I’ve started a Flickr pool where folks can deposit Portable Potluck Pictures from this and future potlucks, and I’ve put together a Flickr set with all of my photos from this 1st event. The next potluck is scheduled for 5 PM on Sunday, April 27, during the Angels Gate Cultural Center Open Studios, and will take place adjacent to Fluids, a LACMA & Getty sponsored happening that’s part of the myriad of events surrounding the Allan Kaprow: Art as Life exhibition that just opened at MOCA.

No commentsWhat Are You Bringing to the Potluck?
I’m thinking about bringing Salvadoran Chorizo. Me and my belly can’t get enough of these bite-sized, porky treats.
