Ok so maybe that title is an exaggeration, but recently I've stumbled upon some fun random things online, that I think relate to our class very well! You should check them out!
First, is this ad by Sapporo. This reminded me of our crankies, and the challenges presented by creating a rotating image that remained interesting as it scrolled by. I think it's pretty astounding!
Next is this fun series of "notes by Chris" that are quite hilarious, and to me seem like a clever derive!
Anyways, I think these are fun little procrastination opportunities. Enjoy!

Bjork sound inspiration
Vocal sound-scape/"planet" as an option for initiating the revival once at Bridge Square...a la the bar scene in this Bjork video.

If we're looking for a song that already has a dance, Just Dance for Wii has lots of easy dances that can be found on YouTube.

Wheels on Fire
 |
| I took a detour to Hot Sam's Antiques on the way home, I was looking mostly at WHEELS |
 |
| Because our HEARSE needs wheels, and I though it might be easier to find some than make them |
 |
| They have lots of cool junk at Hot Sam's including this old wagon named "Lulu" |
 |
| And a random lone side-car, which I thought was cool |
 |
| And an entire trailer spilling over with LPs?? |
 |
| Oh, and a Rocketship... |
 |
| More random junk with wheels... |
 |
| Oh, and also two giant train-cars. Among other things. Hot Sam's is 20 minutes from St. Olaf off the 35, so I think it might be worth it if a team of us went up there and scouted for junk. Anyone interested? |

WE'VE GONE PUBLIC
Now the truth can be told...The Spectacle is unleashed on the world. Welcome to the newly (slightly) re-designed Creating Spectacle site.
Now anyone can view our posts, but only people with google accounts can post comments. I opted against 100% anonymity in the comments.
I tried to add hyperlinks to all the inactive urls in the blog. If there is a link in one of your posts that is still not working (because I missed it) please activate it per Maddi's instructions now.

Pushing the boundaries of sand castles
Somebody on the beaches of Mexico dug out this entire living room set in the sand. It included couches, a table, vases, and even a useable ashtray
I also found this awesome Mayan Temple made out of sand, but it was partially destroyed from the waves.
I love the effort these people were willing to put into creating these pieces of public art, even knowing that they were only temporary.
spectacular values
monetary aura obscures the art
