[Noisebridge-discuss] TEDxVienna: monochrom's Johannes Grenzfurthner: On how to subvert subversion

[das ende der nahrungskette]

actually i'm stuck in lakeland, florida. and the 
most subversive act will be to a methodist church 
on friday. my first visit to a church since i 
desecrated st. stephan's cathedral in vienna as part of a zombie mob.

but i will be going to las vegas in early january 
to check out adult entertainment expo. wanna do 
some shenanigans there. anyone interested to join me?

cheers!
