Two words "Talent Show"

[tommEE]

Doesn't have to be full on gong show, but panel of judges and people exhibitng talent or lack of. Music, comics, juggling....

The idea for an art contest has been suggested, and this idea is just as good, since it is also art, just performace art.

A Performance Art Contest like a, "Talent Show," sounds like a good idea.

That doesn't cover magic, comedy, daredevil stunts and ventriloquism. Not to mention all the other talent people might have, This could include more than just art people.

In the broadest sense, it could include any performace in front of others that could be considered art. Lockpicking, dancing, magic, drink tricks, bar tricks, stand-up comedy, "rap wars" (re: previous scavenger hunt) perhaps even really cool math problems with elegant solutions.

Here is what I was writing in the prior post as simpler statements:
An art contest was suggested before.
An art contest is a good idea.
A talent show is an example of performance art.
A talent show is a good idea.

I'm not suggesting joining them. :-)

Perhaps that should be carefully screened....especially for well...how to put this politely....potential damages to ones eye sight upon witness of acts not meant for human eyes. *Wink*

Russ, of course, I am up for it. A lot of us have been discussing ideas back and forth. Maybe an IRC or AIM Chat planning commitee should be in the works.
