As with many of General Idea's actions the publication is mostly a report on a party that took plave in Elks Building in Los Angeles. B/w white photographs of many of the attendees including Granada Gazelle, Noah Dakota, Count Fanzini, Judy D'Or, Bambi Fawn, Mr Peanut, as well as a photograph of Filliou with a huge cake during an event in Aachen. In a section entitled "How would you fare casting Hollywood Stars" images of Jorge Zontal, Chris Burden, Feliz Partz, Willoughby Sharp and others can be found. This is in VG+ condition despite the 50 years since the event although it is folded for distribution. Very scarce publication.

8cm dia, printed cardboard coaster with an appropriated 4 x 8.5cm floral scented seal soap (supposedly found at a pharmacy by one of the member’s mothers and noticing its resemblance to the artists’ installation Fin de siècle, she bought a few as gifts, General Idea then contacted the supplier to buy the remaining stock and printed pulpboard bases for each to sit on). The soap after 25 years has began to sweat (this will be true of the entire edition) and some of the detail is beginning to be lost. Let's be honest - a lot of artists no longer conditioner long term conservation of their work. Over 10,000 were produced, but they are now scarce and hard to find.
