Slog - Comments on Another First for Slog http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/another_first_for_slog We are witnessing the invention of "blog theater," brought to us by the merry art pranksters of PDL. (Jen gives them some love for their Starbucks/Olympic Sculpture Park art mindfuck here, I write about one of their member's glass-headstone business here.) In this post, from earlier today, PDL has taken over the comments thread and is posting the script of a play about George Washington. Sample quote: I am aware that it would be difficult to burry yourself up to the neck in sand and cut your own head off with surgical precision. Posted by Earl Yeager | September 18,...

Nothing happens and nothing is connected to anything else. Is this some sort of meta-thread designed to teach us all a lesson about the futility of posting comments? Or a comment on the lonely ego-driven world that is blogging? Or something?

A fun idea regardless. Props to the freaks who are doing it.

Way to have your sights appropriately set PDL -- low and within your conceptual reach.

I googled the character's names to see if the story continues in another blog... No luck yet.
I didn't think it was rambling at all. It was using the interviewing to get lots of back story, ahem, into the record.
