Come one, come all or just come – in real life or virtually – to the second annual celebration of the extraordinary life, art, Free Speech legacy and pro-bonobo passion of Prince Maximillian Rudolph Leblovic Lobkowicz di Filangieri (11/8/43 – 5/13/25)  aka “Mickey,”  aka “Capt’n Max,” my beloved husband and “prime mate” of 33 years, on what would be the eve of his 83rd birthday 

That’s this Saturday, November 7, 2026, starting at 7pm PST, in the Womb Room Sanctuary of the little Love Church of The Bonobo Way in Bonoboville at the Dr. Susan Block Institute. 

We will also broadcast live on Facebook Live . True, we deplore Zuck the Cuck, but it’s the best platform for this… we hear (and hope).

“Maximus” is Latin for “the greatest,” & Max was The Greatest in oh-so-many ways. Even though I will forever grieve the loss of my Great Love – from Eros to Thanatos – I also wish to celebrate his inspiring legacies of Free Speech, Peace through Pleasure, Love Forever and the Bonobo Way. 

Last year, I declared Capt’n Max’s birthday to be an international holiday: Free Speech Day. On 11/7/2026, we will celebrate the second Free Speech Day:  Exercise your First Amendment Rights or support somebody else’s!

Speaking of Free Speech, we’ll celebrate a recent major legal win for Bonoboville. If you know, you know! Captain Max would be proud.

We’ll also honor the 12th anniversary of The Bonobo Way: The Evolution of Peace through Pleasure, my gift to Max on his 2014 birthday. Go Bonobos! 

Rituals, memories, games, performance art, prayers to all the Gods & Goddesses (“just in case,” as Max would say), music, film, food, drink (including drinking songs), flowers & other festivities will flow through the night – in person and online – as we celebrate life lived to the MAXIMUS.

much bonobo love,
