Comments on: SF Chronicle Article On The Urban Playground Movement http://laughingsquid.com/sf-chronicle-article-on-the-urban-playground-movement/ an online resource for art, culture and technology Sat, 24 Jul 2010 17:49:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Kevin Bracken http://laughingsquid.com/sf-chronicle-article-on-the-urban-playground-movement/comment-page-1/#comment-341621 Kevin Bracken Mon, 12 Nov 2007 07:44:46 +0000 http://laughingsquid.com/sf-chronicle-article-on-the-urban-playground-movement/#comment-341621 Nice! This article came out really well. Hooray for Justin and the Chron! I am also glad to see the phrase "urban playground movement" getting some usage in print. I think there's a lot of different stuff we (the global groups) all do, but the movement does have this overarching theme of play. One more thought, Bill Wasik believed the cycle came full circle when flashmobs were co-opted by corporation. I think it actually came full cycle when he outed himself. Hopefully the word "flashmob" will fade into oblivion as fast as it came. Nice! This article came out really well. Hooray for Justin and the Chron!
