I know that paul on one of his blogs said he would like to get more people to join here. When ever sometihing grows it also does change some. I don't know what the aim is so some of these ideas might be a bit off. I know the chalk idea got me to check out the site so here goes.

In front of a bar or mutlple bars as a sign or on side walk:
"Did You Meet Any (E:Peeps) tonight go to www.elmwoodstrip.com to find out"

In front of the Verizon store:
"Need more people to talk to try www.elmwoodstrip.com"

At Canisius, UB and or Buffstate as a sign:
"New to Buffalo Learn more about it at www.elmwoodstrip. com"
[Buffstate it would read new to elmwood instead of Buffalo]

A sign anywhere:
"angry or upset and you need a place to vent then go to www.elmwooodstrip.com"

Those are a few ideas that I thought of. They might work or they might not. They might not bring in the crowd that Paul is looking for. They could bring in lots of people if they worked, plus it is a cheap way to advertise. Just a thought.

I just saw Hero it was very good. But I'm a fan of His type of movie. I don't like period pieces to much but it was still very good. I'm not sure how Terentino has to do with it but he gets some kind of credit for it.

Sorry I forgot the proper name of the festival that is sat & Sunday but I think it will be fun. I plan on going. I hope they have some interesting and cool art. We shall see if they do. I think it could be fun.

The question of what is art is a good one. That can be debated for hours and hours. That is just on the nudity topic alone and where that line is crossed. That is not even including the differant forms of art. I think that anything that is done in one way but is altered can be considerd art. For example I used to be a stock boy. Yes anyone can do stock and fill the shelves. But When I filled Sobe I couldn't have two simalur colors close to each other. It looked better and made them more noticable to have opposite colors next to each other. I did that on my own and no one every told me to do it that way. Back then most of the bottles looked kinda the same. I would not say that stocking a shelf with drinks is art. But you can use it as a form of expressing artistic vision in a certain confined way.

I think that the music as art concerts are important because I think Music is an art and it is very important for kids to learn about music if they want to. Music dosn't have to be about being commerical or being famous it can be about expressing yourself artisticly. We are lucky to be able to have that debate here in meny countries they can not. I admit I do like art but don't go to see it that often, Yes I need to get out and see more of it. I am honest, I need to go to more then Just allentown and music as art. When I say art I mean painting and sculptures as opposed to movies and music they are art to but I put them in a differant catogory. Ok enough of my rambilings.
