lurkittyAndy Warhol once said that in the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. IN 1968, he foresaw a day when communications media would be open and instantaneous enough to allow the average person to be famous the world over, however briefly. Considering the popularity of the blog press, I'd say he did pretty well.
My own 15 minutes of fame starts on the ceiling of the Old World Deli in Corvallis. I used to bellydance there with the Corvallis Bellydance Performance Guild. The walls and ceiling were painted by a local artist named Carol Selberg. She populated them with local people who frequented the Deli. I just happened to be among the dancers who appeared the night they took the picture. So, there I am, above the stage, wearing orange, last dancer on the right, holding one end of the banner.
Next time you have a Mighty Meatless and a Nut Brown Ale, look up!
