Steve Lambert » I WILL TALK WITH ANYONE… I set up this table near other individuals and organizations tabling for political, religious and other causes. When people approach I offer to talk to them about whatever they would like. If they don’t know what they want to talk about I keep a list of questions such as: - how about this weather? - what have you been up to lately?

- what are you doing after this? - how are things? This formula has lead to conversations with all kinds of strangers on topics from the weather to the Iranian revolution, Native American philosophy, agricultuture, film, etc. Of course, you can do this yourself.
