Channel 19 is still showing
Channel 19 is still showing Art Fair coverage reruns all week, so reader Josh Steichmann has made them bearable the only way possible: with a drinking game.
One drink any time:
People interact with an off-screen interviewer
Precocious children are incoherent
People being interviewed answer with one word phrases, distressing the interviewer
Teenagers give shout-outsTwo drinks any time:
Shopping is equated with fulfillment (”I’m really satisfied with the Art Fair, I bought a lot of stuff.”)
Teenagers give big ups or mad props
An embarrassed hipster appears
Art on a stick is featured
Someone complains about Art FairThree drinks any time:
Arwulf Arwulf appears
Your geographic area is referenced (like “I’d like to give snaps to Arrowwood,” if you live in Arrowwood)
Any time snaps are given (cumulative with other drinking)
You see someone whom you have had more than a five-minute conversation withFinish your drink when:
Anyone says “It’s not art, and it’s not fair.”
You get bored and change the channel
I’m not sure if responses this far after the fact actually get read, but I had to make mention…
It’s a travesty that CTN calls this programming “Art Fair coverage”. They’re not covering the Art Fair, are they? I mean, if I set my camera up on the corner of Main and Stadium on a fall Saturday, and let people say hello, would anybody for so much as a second consider this to be “football game coverage”?
