	I hope the cheque that the city wrote her "chose the words" that will cause it to bounce. (Reply to this)

	Maybe she and Anne Rice could become ever so best of buddies! Imagine the crap-ew-lance they could squire. Ah, I love it when the art chozes teh phraze. (Reply to this)

	Really.. I would expect there would be some legal way to make her fix it. That's just crappy work there. If someone was hired to make a credit card machine and it only got 'the idea' of the money requested they'd be sued up the wazoo. Seriously lady. >_> I feel indignant for the town.

	"There seems to be so much hatred within certain people. They continuously look for a scapegoat. I guess I am the sacrificial goat." Yeah, can you believe people? Blaming her for the misspelling just because she spelled the words wrong. Those haters. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"The art chose the words," she said. So now the inanimate objets d'art are speaking to her? And if they were paying her $40,000 to do this, I'd be damned sure BEFORE she did it that she knew how to spell the damned things... I say sue her ass off! =) (Reply to this)

	The art chose the words?! points to icon Er, someone remind her that spelling isn't art. There's nothing subjective about it. You spell it right or spell it wrong. That's that. No artistic liscence involved. wipes up (Reply to this)

When I was 10 years old, I was excited about going to a new school. Mom bought me a nifty denim-covered three ring binder and a bunch of puffy paints and said, "Go forth and be creative." (or something)

And I misspelled my own damn name on the spine. And didn't realize this until about two weeks into the school year when people kept putting an extra consonant in my name (I've got a double consonant in it, and I accidentally put three).

Even at age 10, I knew it was no one's fault but my own. Except maybe my parents, for giving me such a damn weird name.

But then, I'm guessing this chick has the emotional maturity of a 7-year old if she can't handle the jibes she damn well earned.

heh. this wank is local, so it's exploding all around me. =)

the truly crazy thing is, on all the design proposals and sketches and everything that the city of Livermore signed off on, all of those names were supposedly spelled correctly.</> so one has to wonder -- did she deliberately screw up the names, like to make some kind of Artistic Statement about literacy or some such shite, or is she really just a stupid Artiste who didn't care to spellcheck the installation and is trying to backpedal by calling it Art and OMGWTFBBQ NO ONE UNDERSTANDZ????

she apparently IS going to fix the spelling... for another 6 grand.
