The Robert Anton Wilson Day proclamation

If you are a Robert Anton Wilson fan, take about six minutes to watch the above video, I think you will enjoy it.

Here is some background from the Hilaritas Press blog: "The world premier of the documentary Maybe Logic: The Lives & Ideas of Robert Anton Wilson was held at the Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz, California on July 23, 2003. The host for the event, Scott Apel, began the evening with a special presentation. He introduced Emily Reilly, the mayor of the city of Santa Cruz, who delivered a proclamation."

Scott Apel recently sent a video of  the event to Rasa, who edited the clip  you see above. Rasa tells me he edited the clip from "a longer video that is mostly just the crowd in a long line and then entering the theater, but still interesting. You see Bob arriving, getting into his wheelchair… " Rasa fixed up the lighting and the audio. If you watch closely at the end, you will notice a nice-looking woman who stands next to Scott and then wheels RAW away. That is Cathy, Scott's wife, who cared for RAW in his final days in 2007.
