communal chopping

…or F.O.O.D., was the title given to the final public event of our Princeton Student Colony, which consisted of a variety of activities throughout the afternoon, but the highlight must have been sitting in a circle on linen squares around a student-made communal chopping board, wielding knives of varying sharpness, chopping vegetables for stew while chomping on rounds of Weatherspoon Bread Company bread, sheltered from the unexpected rain by a decidedly bougie white rental tent – and finally the last act of the day was the levitation of our well worn orange dome HQ, facilitated by one of the architecture students who had unscrewed it from the platform and fabricated a perimeter tube allowing us to gather around, grab the ring and lift it up, making us realize how fragile the architecture of our classroom had been, and kind of blowing our minds as we carried it away to another part of the campus for fruit, tea, and singalongs.
