Eve of the last day.

The six day of the festival was a weird one, if I say so myself. It started out with the Beetle-killer herself, Yoko Ono. This was one of the strangest seminars, maybe even one of the strangest moments in my life. It was a true WTF moment. Yoko pulled the famous white blanket technique in which she and the moderator placed themselves under a white sheet and began to take their clothes off. But thank god that didn’t happen. It was a performance stunt and nothing more. The whole seminar was a performance stunt. Yoko ran around the stage; the moderator’s questions just bouncing off her brain. Only on questions which she was interested in, basically ones about her own work, did she sit down and “try” and give a reasonable response. I think I understand where Yoko is coming from in her philosophy. She believes that women have a power that is hidden within them. They are afraid to unleash it because of society. She isn’t the first woman to believe in this, but she is one of the first to express this philosophy in the way she does. Poems, yelling at the top of her lungs, and creating things that she believes to be art are her own ways of expressing herself. Even though I find her, how do I say weird, she is a creative person and she isn’t afraid to express herself. For that, I have respect. Yoko may seem on the edge of a being a crazy person, but aren’t we all a little crazy? We have to be crazy to put our ideas out there for everyone to critique. We have to have a tough skin. Crazy is thinking outside the box. Yoko thinks outside the box. I try and think outside the box. Doing things differently is crazy. Everyone in this industry is a little crazy. Let’s be crazy together and create the best creative work that this world has ever seen.
