	The Diggers
		These Diggers apocryphally claimed that the original Diggers were so named because they were being killed by the king's men, and were constantly being seen digging graves for their brethren.
		In their publications, the Diggers coined such phrases as "Do your own thing" and "Today is the first day of the rest of your life".
		Diggers were seen to possess the characteristics of hardiness, democratic spirit, mateship and resourcefulness.

	AlternativeApproaches.com: The Diggers Are Back
		By late summer in 1968, the Diggers were gone and the hippie street culture that had flourished through “the summer of love” a year earlier was already in a sharp decline.
		But the memory of the Diggers lived-on, and such counter-cultural icons as free clinics, the free music movement, the free speech movement and free love continued to pay homage to a group that only existed for two and a half short years.
		For all practical purposes, the Diggers ceased to exist in June of 1968 and the Haight, as well as hippiedom in general, was never the same after that.

	Diggers (theater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Diggers were a radical community-action group of Improv actors operating from 1966-68, based in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco.
		The Diggers took their name from the original English Diggers (1649-50) who had promulgated a vision of society free from private property, and all forms of buying and selling.
		Their publications, notably the Digger Papers, are the origin of such phrases as "Do your own thing" and "Today is the first day of the rest of your life".

	Overview
		The Digger Archives is an ongoing Web project to preserve and present the history of the anarchist guerilla street theater group that challenged the emerging Counterculture of the Sixties and whose actions and ideals inspired (and continue to inspire) a generation (of all ages) to create models of Free Association.
		Shrouded in a mystique of anonymity, the Diggers took their name from the original English Diggers (1649-50) who had promulgated a vision of society free from private property, and all forms of buying and selling.
		The Digger energy took the action off the constructed platform and jumped right into the most happening stage yet — the streets of the Haight where a new youth culture was recreating itself, at least temporarily, out of the glaring eye of news reporters.

	Gerrard Winstanley - CounterCulture - A Wikia wiki
		The name 'Diggers' was revived in San Francisco for a radical guerrilla theater group The Diggers, offering street theater, information and free food during the hippie movement associated with the Haight-Ashbury, 1965 - 68.
		A counter-cultural broadsheet newspaper in Australia in the 1970s was called The Digger, probably deriving its name from Winstanley's Diggers, the San Francisco movement, and also the fact that 'digger' is an Australian colloquialism similar to 'mate', deriving from the 'diggers' (infantrymen) of World War One.

	[No title]
		Digger co-founder Peter Berg coined the term "guerrilla theater" and helped to articulate its theory and practice along with SFMT director R.G. Davis.
		Berg was one of the four Diggers to disrupt the SDS Back to the Drawing Boards Conference in June 1967 that Jeff Apfel is researching, and is also the source of the "create the condition you describe" idea that Eric Noble cited.
		Later that year, the first Digger free food was in part a > counterpoint to the protests by SDS of the national guard in SF and the > curfew after the Hunter's Point shooting.

		Coyote was a member of the San Francisco Mime Troupe, a radical street theater group; and "The Diggers," a collective of artists and anarchists which was active in San Francisco' s Haight-Ashbury district.
		But we took them as kind of role models and The Diggers felt that we had to imagine a new culture; that people were not going to go thronging the barricades to be part of the urban proletariat; that that was unimaginable and unimaginative - didn't seem like any fun.
		And The Diggers were kind of like the conscience of the underground, or pretty much universally recognized as the guys who knew what was happening.

	Guerilla Theater
		As such the Diggers stood squarely on the side of the hippies in their ongoing philosophical debate with the politicos: if one wanted to change the world, it was necessary first to change one's consciousness or point of view.
		To the Diggers it was a demonstration of their power to confound the authorities and stake their claim on the urban turf.
		The Diggers had instructed them in the art of guerrilla theater, had given them a vocabulary for expressing direct action politics, and had improvised scenarios which the latter group drew upon in their own efforts to enact the counterculture.

	Gold Diggers of 1933
		The backstage "putting on a show" story was not integrated into the action, and the songs could have been cut out completely without harming the continuity, although the film would have been a lot poorer for it.
		Gold Diggers of 1933 was filmed during the lowest economic point in American history, and was a film that reflected Depression reality.
		These gold diggers care less about jewelry than where their next meal was coming from.

	Movie Review - National Lampoon's Gold Diggers - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
		It isn't enough that Betty and Doris are horny; they have to be kinky, too, tying their new husbands to the bed or making them wear costumes during love-making, and doing it all in a manner that feels icky and degrading to watch.
		The film was written and directed by Gary Preisler, upon whom I wish nothing but ill for all the rest of his days, and may they be long and filled with torment.
		By the 30-minute mark, I was praying for the sweet release of death, or at least a sudden and violent attack of diarrhea, so I'd have an excuse to leave the theater.

		The Diggers have also unearthed passages and chambers that date back to medieval times, such as an ancient underground cemetery beneath the Arbat, which an incensed Mikhailov claims has been disturbed by builders laying the foundation for new construction projects.
		Mikhailov's plans for the future are ambitious indeed: an underground Digger bar; a team of Diggers that would conduct explorations from Paris to the Amazon; and a search for the mystical library of Ivan the Terrible, which many say lies under Moscow.
		The Diggers most fascinating expedition is one that laid the foundation for Mikhailov's personal outlook on life, what he calls the Digger philosophy.

		Through their activism and the response it provoked, art, theater, and politics began to converge and assume a new visibility in everyday life.
		The Living Theatre culminated an arduous quest to mesh artistic and political goals, leading audiences from theaters into the streets to begin the "beautiful nonviolent anarchist revolution." The Diggers playfully engaged San Francisco’s counterculture in politics with their carnivalesque public actions.
		Their continued involvement with the women’s liberation movement, rural communes, and political street theater into the 1970s and beyond challenges the popular myth that activists disengaged from politics after the 1960s.

		National Lampoon's Gold Diggers manages to take the series to an all-time low - which, sadly, is no mean feat.
		This film should by all rights be a career killer for anyone involved with it - although Nikki Ziering may emerge relatively unscathed given the fact that her screen time is severely limited.
		Early in the movie where we see how bumbling the two guys are in their acts of crime, Leonard grabs a purse that is attached to a woman's prosthetic left arm.

		Eight-ton ballerinas are what Las Vegas' KLAS Channel 8 News called JCB's amazing "Dancing Diggers." During the 2005 ConExpo show, every hour on the hour, thousands of attendees gathered around a fenced corral to see the choreographed ballet and pyrotechnic show performed by eight-ton JCB backhoe loaders.
		However, the real attention grabber at the JCB booth was outside the corral-- it was the one of the largest outdoor temporary exhibit structures ever seen in North America.

		The Diggers had evolved out of the radicalizing maelstrom that the San Francisco Mime Troupe had created over the previous decade.

		Either way, the Diggers' idealogy was bohemian consensus united with new left politics seen through pyschedelic eyes and put into action with an aggressive manner inherited from their Mime Troupe roots.
		For the Diggers, theater was revolution (Perry 259) and they became famous for such theatrical events as giving away food and providing lodging to people in the Haight-Ashbury district.
		Emmett and a crew of Diggers were discussing the need for another vehicle, when in the front door walked Richard Brautigan, a tall, carrot-haired, thirty-five-year-old poet wearing grandpa glasses, a peacoat and a floppy, broad-brimmed, felt hat.
