Notes on Samovar Nights

Seven short notes regarding the nature of the weekly Samovar Nights event
1. The Program or schedule of happening of Samovar Nights is not set up in advance in any way
2. The Nights have no organizer or organization. They are a coming together of people, during which each single person may do whatever he or she wants.
3. Samovar Nights invite and provoke people to act in unexpected ways, ie. do something that each person does not usually do and which cannot be expected from him/her.
4. Samovar Nights considers each act and non-act to be of great value and uncomparable to others in itself.
5. The members of Samovar Group do not recommend the use of any drugs including alcohol during the Nights, but do not take notice if someone uses them.
6. Samovar Nights is uncommercial.
7. No one person has priviledge over others during Samovar Nights.

Eighth note -
8. During Samovar Nights no one person needs to fear or care about what others think about him/her or his/hers action.
