I don't have to explain my art to you, Warren.

The Best Part of Today #127:

Getting busted for art.

Best and worst, actually. A group of friends and I banded together to make sticky note art promoting the release of the literary journal we worked all semester to create, the Long River Review. Not only that, but we made this journal for a class, part of our grade for which comes from a "guerrilla art project." As you can see above, we've hit bus stops as well as buildings, windows, cars, walls, you name it. It has been going moderately well for the past few days, in areas where our installations weren't taken down.

At the very beginning of the semester, we were told by a veteran editor of the journal, half-jokingly (but only half) that it's better if you can get arrested. Naturally, we didn't get quite that far, but tonight our group was assembling similar installations like the one you see above when we were greeted by a building patrolman, who promptly told us to take them all down. And took our IDs, which ruled out the possibility of continuing our activities for the night.

But that doesn't mean it has to stop! Tomorrow (Thursday, April 28th) is the Release Party for issue 14 of the Long River Review and all are invited to the Co-Op at 6pm!
