The really cool part of being an artist is after spending months on a giant, stupid project, you get to start another equally giant, equally stupid project.

I heard the City Market stopped having concerts because the museum complained about possible damage to their teacups because of sound waves, so maybe when they move we can get those back.

Thats understandable! I hate bacon and when the trend that 'bacon makes everything better' was in full swing, it made my life a nightmare because its always overpowering. I picked up the crispy onions from a trip to Copenhagen.

Yeah, I dont think theyre worried about obscene art anymore. Besides, I saw him speak in 96 or so and everyone in attendance was laughing because his talk was so embarrassing.

I agree! Its just unfortunate the city and every group in town whipped this up as a goldmine opportunity for everybody. I wonder how the 23 hour drinking thin has panned out.

Can't wait until its announced that 'oops, we've had a test program ongoing for the past 4 months and nothing happened, so why should you all be so upset now?'

I went to an ArtsKC pre-world cup meeting ages ago and realized the number of times they used the word 'exposure' and hearing people from arts groups ask about crowd sizes I knew it was BS. When Americans travel to a football game in Munich, how many are going to support local businesses there?

The ability to fund and EXPAND the streetcar with ease for tourists and rich folks makes the treatment and funding of buses in this city feel even more degrading.

Reminds me of my old project of writing three satirical comics about the gentrification of East Austin that even made the pages of the AV Guide in the Onion.
