campaign season















These signs are lining the trolley right-of-way at fifty foot intervals along Alaskan Way where I work. Crafty, they are, because out of the corner of your eye they look like your run-of-the-mill representative's campaign sign. Take a second look and you realize it's promoting The Presidents' new album, These Are The Good Times People.

Subversive and unconventional; I like it.

But how are they getting away with it? They've been out for three days at least, and I thought they'd have been removed by now; aren't there strict rules about both political material and commercial advertising on public property? We'll see... until then, I support both creative thinking and local music. Well, and after then too.
