Comments From Easels 2

- Questions for Earl B: 1) Can anything be done to keep something from becoming cliche, or is it in god's hands? 2) Does everything commercially viable have to be a cliche? Examples of anything not?

- Not everyone likes "weird" art. (e.g. mushrooms, big red balls, etc...) Not everyone likes the Cap 10K closing streets "disrupting" traffic. Since many of these projects require a level of public investments, how can we -- those here today and those with similar goals -- evangelize about the benefits of public space, public art, etc...?

- How can we balance the need for public gatherings with individuals private activities? They have their own lives and may not want to participate in a road race for example.
