Show #21 - Windows On Main St Walking Review: Special Drinking Game Edition (Part 1)

Get ready to hit the Mean Streets err... Main Street in Beacon, NY.

Dakin Roy at Beacon Cycles.

This week, Chris is joined on a walking tour and review of the Windows on Main St by Steve Rossi, Jennifer Mackiewicz, Matt Kinney and Angelika Rinnhofer.

Now in it's seventh year, Windows on Main St. is a store front window based exhibit of artist installations. This year's exhibit, organized by Melissa Tatge and Hannah Anderson features the work of over 40 artists. Our intrepid group strolls and chats about half of the exhibit (stay tuned for the second half very soon).

This is a rough and ready recording this week. Aside from a few adjustments to sound levels, this weeks audio has not been cut or edited....to the shagrin of Chris who finds that he was simply hogging the mic and was unable to finish many of his own sentences while, at the same time, seemingly trying to make this entire episode be all about him (he's the host of the show - and holder of the mic. He's a participating artist in this year's WOMS exhibit, and he co-founded the exhibit in 2005 with Karlos Carcamo (with whom we spoke in Episode 4), all of which is highly unbecoming of a seemingly objective radio host.

As a bonus treat to you dear listener, to make up for the lapse of neutral objectivity, we have embedded a special drinking game in this Episode. Here is the one and only rule: Each and every time you hear Chris utter the word 'Context' take a swig of your favorite cold syrup. You'll be wasted in no time.

Some images (some of them bad) of some of the things we saw.
