Those stickers are really awesome. I really like their design. On an unrelated note, I like to write poetry and sometimes I would place my poetry in random places such as bathrooms, bus stops, train stations and bookstores. I would place my email in these notes in the hopes of random people responding to me. I left about thirty notes throughout the past year and only two people responded. One conversation led nowhere but the other one led me to the discovery of this awesome slam poetry community that wasn't too far from where I live. I have taken up slam poetry because of this experience and I have become pretty decent at it. I would love to leave stickers in random places since I am already used to leave things in random places.
For the record, to get 2/30 responses to a random poem and email address is excellent. For one of those responses to lead to a slam community that you enjoy is amazing. So -- let's see a poem? Is there one posted on line somewhere or a video of ArtemusBlank's Slam Performance?
I don't have a video yet but I can definitely produce a slam poem... America is a giant strip mall. Wal Mart, K Mart, Mcdonalds, Seven-Eleven, Dunkin Donuts, Dollar Tree…. you know the names, you know them by heart. You know them a lot better than the Bill of Rights or the name of your Congressmen and even if you claim not to know, you know for who can go five miles without seeing a dry cleaners, a pizzeria, a Chinese place and a phone store all crammed together in a corner on the side of the road. The American Strip Mall is embedded in our heads from birth, it’s baseball, it’s mom’s apple pie, it’s the core of our consumer culture and it grows each and every day. Who ever said no to another strip mall? Another Seven-Eleven… Another Walgreens…Another Applebees..bring it on they say for we live and we die in these places. Seriously name me one American that doesn’t know the existence of a strip mall? Name me one American. Name me one American. They’re in our TV shows, our books, our movies and our magazines. Anywhere and everywhere there is a strip mall waiting for you. For where else can you get your chapstick, your lipstick, your romance novels, your pizzas, your cigarettes and your insurance policies? Do not fear the strip mall, embrace it, for it’s always there for you giving you what you want, giving you what you need for life can be a bummer but the American Strip Mall is always there with it’s new deals and it’s new openings. And those deals are oh so sweet, how can one resist. America, America, the land of the free and the land of the strip mall. We fight for the strip mall. We bleed for the strip mall. We die for the strip mall. I know it sounds insane but it’s true when you really think about it. For what is our consumer culture without it’s strip malls? Kohl’s, Barnes & Noble, Pep Boys, Gamestop, Pathmark, Dollar General, Sears, Starbucks and so many more countless, nameless restaurants, liquor stores, drugstores, shoe stores, clothing stores, smoke shops and other stores that are all crammed together in a corner on the side of the road waiting and waiting for you for these are the places you need to be at. Remember America is a giant strip mall and you’re in it whether you like it or not.
It sounds like you are the ideal sticker recipient; already used to propagating the bathroom wall gospels. -Just make sure they're really thoughtful bathrooms, okay? Glad you found Hubski and happy to send you some stickers. I look forward to reading/hearing your poetry as you share it with the community.
Thank you. What actually makes a really thoughtful bathroom though? Some sort of fancy towel? haha. I am careful though where I placed my notes. I always put my notes in places where I think interesting people might show up. Thanks for the welcome by the way. I will definitely share poetry.
I definitely like the creativity of this picture. If someone were to send me a bunch of those stickers, then I would put as many as I can in all the good bathrooms that I can think of haha.
