I attended the Final Friday event at the Denver Art Museum (The DAM) last night, and it turned out to be a very entertaining evening. Stephen Brackett, a member of the Denver rock group The Flobots (seen in the photograph above), hosted an event called Mass Migration, which featured him and a number of his friends performing musical acts. Afterwards, the performers divided up the crowd and led them to various parts of the museum, where they were coached on singing and performing the night's theme song, and then marched single file down to the first level of the museum, where a giant jam session took place. It didn't have much to do with visual art, but it was definitely fun. I still miss the free buffet, however, which disappeared when the renovations to the North building began. That was a major part of my art interest. Also - by the way - there was an ad on the television a few years ago for Progressive Insurance, where Flo, their fictional insurance saleswoman, introduced a robot that looked like her called the "Flobot." Isn't that copyright infringement? But by who?
