What the hell are they doing?

So Brian put us to the test with our performance skills, and Matt and I are pretty damn good. We decided to do the wagging tail all the way into the safeway parking lot. It was slow at first but once we started going so did our performance and it looked a lot better. These two guys that work at Safeway were like "What the hell are they doing???"-- not to mention Sara and Joel weren't far behind us doing the same thing and also had mirrors in their hands. The four of us not talking to eachother all doing similiar things probably got people to ponder what the hell was going on. Afterward we tried the shaking hands thing which wasn't as good as we expected. We decided to go inside of the store and meet half way and just randomly start shaking hands. So we did it, but all we got were weird looks while we were standing in the frozen food section asking eachother if it was warm yet. Which it definitely wasn't. After we decided it was warm we moved on to the last proposal; standing back to back making faces at eachother with the mirrors. We walked all the way out from the back of the store into the parking lot and so on. People's faces were just so funny. They didn't know what to think. I then decided to hop inside my little red van, with a cart attached to it. As Matt pushed me around as if I was a real car, I honked the little horn and was having a fake road rage at people. After parking my truck I pretty much threw myself out of it... looked around, and walked away. That was pretty good too. I like the thought of Performance Art, especially if it's humorous because I dig it I guess. It might have not been a life changing experience but it definitely did get me to think about the form of art performance. But this activity was a fun one and I love doing group projects especially when they are goofy like this one was. GOOOO BRIAN! =]
