idea.

an unfinished idea im having while sitting here at work looking through other blogs.
print out 4x6 pictures, from flickr or some other picture repository, or just your hard drive, put them in context to the location where you will abandon them.
Abandon, yes. A 4x6 picture of coffee beans left on starbucks/cafe tables with some something printed or sketched out on the back. Could be subversive, could be pointless, could be taken out of context. Combine the flickr picture with something from that Heard in New York or Heard on the Subway blog. A joke about the pope with a picture of a flower. An old stove and some rant about womens rights. A pornographic pose with a confession of letchery or of being a whore/slut/easy. A 4x6 of a cow at McDonalds with the text "crees que eso es carne?"
4x6 prints that look like party invites with writing on the back "cuando te emborrachas me aprovecho" or "cuando te ausentas es mia" or "sabes lo que dicen de ella?" or just a simple "perdon." left throughout a nightclub.
Or notes that seem intended for someone else when you read them... "no puedo dejar de verte.", "lo siento, es mejor asi.", "pasa por mi casa cuando leas esto, B.", "soy mejor que tu.", "me gustan los hombres.", "ya no te amo.", "no te rindas.", etc. etc.
and nonsense for good measure, "la mosca vuela sin destino.", "el jarabe sabe morado.", "elixer de vida cuesta la muerta.", "ese color no te va.", "quiero ser original como tu.", "algun dia volare junto con los pinguinos", "ya no quiero gasolina.", "esto fue un arbol unavez.", etc. etc.
No idea why, because there isnt any follow up to leaving the notes around town. do it for free and when people talk of it, get it sponsored by a liquor. Add the iconic logo and text for the website. i guess. i just think it would be cool to find interesting little notes spread throughout the city, just something a little quirky to amuse and give you something to talk about.


ill see if i can come up with samples later on, for now, a sketch of an idea.
