I admit that I like to look at pictures in the newspaper of other people at parties because it means I wasn't there, that I didn't have to get dressed up and go. 

All it really takes to get a new idea is to really look at something and then, once you have the idea, look at something else the same way and then put both  ideas together.

Nikita Khruschev's visit to Disneyland (1959) in Orange County, Ca. would have been the best piece of perfomance art produced in the heyday of performance art. That Khruschev so wanted to go at the height of the cold war and that the trip was cancelled by the LA City Police Chief for security reasons makes it the next best piece.
