Secret Post
I think this was a rousing success considering the goal of creating an experience unlike anything people have ever seen. What intrigues me most is the wide range of experiences that came to my attention. For some, it was annoying, and many cleared out of the caf before we were through. A few friends who were sitting upstairs were mostly confused about what was going on. Some caf workers who weren't able to abandon their posts but could hear the music and see that lights were off asked us what was going on. My favorite experience to see, though, was that of the students going from show to show, watching intently--and there were a few!--because they had abandoned their primary goal (be fed) and clearly embraced the bizarreness of the situation. And while not all audience members can be this type, I believe we succeeded because not a single person in the caf that night had a typical dinner experience.
