The Seattle Monolith was created by Some People's Army in December and planted at Magnuson Park on New Year's Eve. It was part of our celebration of 2001, featuring a giant freak-filled parade from Broadway to Downtown. The parade was planned to feature a wooden monolith full of fireworks to be burned at Pike Place at midnight, but the police weren't too hip on the idea. The metal monolith was a side project which, suprisingly, garnered international media attention. When our little art joke was stolen by unknown people, members of Some People were forced to come forward in order to get our sculpture 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 kite-flyers 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.
