The Quiet Reawakening
Boys! Girls! Friends! Lovers!
I have this sick notion that a person can walk into a bar, restaurant, coffee shop, or on to a street corner, run into someone at any of those places playing music, painting a portrait, dancing a two-step, or painting a mural, and have the good sense to appreciate that we’re doing whatever we can to bring variety and spice to the drabness that seems to be everyday life for most people. If the first three months of our grand experiment at Centerville Pub has been of any indication, though, my initial idea has been woefully wrong. “If you build it, they will come” no longer works. If we have something to show the world, we have to build it, re-build it, put a bright neon sign on it, and make miniatures of it to put onto street corners for people to sell as trinkets. In the case of a blog, of course, art is a gift.
At least for now, I’ll let the video speak for itself. I’m not clever enough to do these guys the justice they deserve.
