graffiti-thon

update 08/17/05: poop! city council ain't liking this gathering of miscreants to paint the town pink purple red and green... [gothamist]

mark your calendars! on wednesday august 24th, atari embraces a daring media/marketing stunt - a rockin' graffiti-thon - to launch marc ecko's new video game, "getting up: contents under pressure". though to me, gathering 20 oft-demonized graffiti artists together in one place sounds suspiciously like a SWAT ambush. isn't a tagger's greatest asset his/her anonymity?

8/24 - noon-8pm - 22nd st b/w 10th & 11th
