MartiniFest

Amusing article over on Scientific American's May Issue.

Appearently the Milwaukee Art Museum held a MartiniFest booze event with 1,900 in attendance in a 1,400 limit space.

Here's the capsule summary from the Journal Sentinel: "People threw up, passed out, were injured, got into altercations and climbed onto sculptures."

While it was considered a fiasco by all (but the drunks), I think it's just peachy. I'd love to see paddywagons screaming to a stop out front of the museum, riot police streaming in, and the revellers beating them back with the business end of art.

Maybe I've read too much JG Ballard - or not enough.
