Here's the thing: No one marched better, played better, moved better, had a higher show concept. I understand not liking the ending, but oh my, it's just June. Nice job BD.

But is having the highest concept the point? Wasn't the whole reasoning behind new sheets and Cesario's involvement to increase audience connection instead of pushing for the highest art show concept? I guess BD just has to be highest in everything....

You were, at one point in time, a flamboyant man getting married in a pvc pipe house?

Possibly haha

The music wasn't out there last year. You disagree?

The rocking horse, because of its randomness, and many other reasons:

From Smithsonian:

FTA:

This new, irrational art movement would be named Dada. It got its name, according to Richard Huelsenbeck, a German artist living in Zurich, when he and Ball came upon the word in a French-German dictionary. To Ball, it fit. “Dada is ‘yes, yes’ in Rumanian, ‘rocking horse’ and ‘hobby horse’ in French,” he noted in his diary. “For Germans it is a sign of foolish naiveté, joy in procreation, and preoccupation with the baby carriage.” Tzara, who later claimed that he had coined the term, quickly used it on posters, put out the first Dada journal and wrote one of the first of many Dada manifestoes, few of which, appropriately enough, made much sense.

Also the racks that hold clothing are called "Clothes Horses", which is another play on what BD is doing as they are clothing horses shaped like actual horses.

You guys know that's not "narration", right? It's just a sound effect. Some of it you can understand, some of it you can't.

Well that's a little annoying.

It'll just make people think they're going deaf or that the sound system is malfunctioning
