It was part of our celebration of 2001, featuring a giant <a href="/title/freak-filled">freak-filled</a> parade from Broadway to Downtown. The parade was planned to feature a wooden monolith <a href="/title/full+of+fireworks">full of fireworks</a> to be burned at Pike Place at midnight, but the police weren't too hip on the idea. The metal <a href="/title/monolith">monolith</a> was a side project which, suprisingly, garnered international media attention. When our little <a href="/title/art+joke">art joke</a> was stolen by unknown people, members of Some People were forced to come forward in order to get our <a href="/title/sculpture">sculpture</a> back, and put it where we first planted it. We got it back with the help of the Parks Dept, using two boats and a section of floating dock. How our mysterious enemies got the thing out there is as much a mystery as their identity. Now, unfortunately, militant <a href="/title/kite-flyers">kite-flyers</a> are complaining that our monolith will get in their way at the top of Kite Hill in Magnuson. I say that if you can't fly a kite AROUND a nine-foot monoltih, then it's not working.</p>
