the flash mob is already dead, thanks to the media that reports where and when the event will take place, as well as be there with reporters and cameras in tow. it had its 15 minutes. think of something else.

Ah, the feedback loops get shorter and shorter. We're going to have to rewrite Warhol. In the future, everybody will be famous for 15 nanoseconds.

Personally, I'd like to see spontaneous performances of segements from absurdist plays such as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. If possible, this should be done in a way that a casual observer wouldn't know it was anything other than a very bizarre conversation.

Actor's Co-op did something like this a couple of years ago. They'd have some folks sitting "normally" at a table during dinner hours at the Tomato Head and in walks this irate female and then - the shows on.

It's exxtreeme acting! Acting for an audience that doesn't even know it's an audience. Kind of the artistic ideal, really.

let's call the good folks at HGTV and see if they'll go to the Loo and do a make-over of his pad. What I'd really like to do is get mte on the new show, "Straight Eye for the Queer Guy" where they teach some gay how to wear flannel, a ball cap, watch football, eat red meat and put a pinch between cheek and gum.

But in true Knoxville timeliness, the flash mob gets here just after it becomes passe in the big city.

Why it would be entertaining, if not passe, in Knoxvegas...

ViKKKtor Ass and Generalissimo Hutchison would dispatch their respective goon squads to perform crowd control the moment they received word a flash mob was in progress. The mob would simply stand back and watch in amazement as the respective goon squads pummel each other to establish who has the authority to dispatch said goon squad. Two Republi-nazis showing what the GOP is all about!
