The next stranger genius award should go to the woman who attacked the box. While violence is never to be encouraged, artists who go so far as to perform privately in a public space and egotistically announce their non-performance are certainly deserving of at scorn, and if their smug behavior provoked violence, they don’t have my sympathy. They put up their little posters and send out press releases and then say “No one admitted”----well, I guess not everyone thought they were so arty and cool! People should attend and scream, cajole, heckle, and otherwise non-violently disturb the elitist assholes who can only drag the real artistic avant-garde through the metaphorical mud of their own not-so-clever antics, Cretins! Fools! Bombastic clowns. May the box suck these monstrous poseurs into a black hole from which they never escape!

How incredibly silly.

I liked that the woman attacked the box. More people should attack the box. More people should rush stages in general and make performers afraid.

1. I don't think anyone was trying to get sympathy for the performer in the box the night that the woman attacked it.

2. I think these types of responses are not only to be expected but I would bet that, to some, they're almost a little thrilling. To know that you're affecting someone that much or in that way? Just a guess...I could be wrong.

3. If you hate the idea of these performances so much, just, um, DON'T GO.
