A whole year has gone by since the last time we felt like being a little sinister in a public space. What a year it has been! Our first “Bound at the Stake” was mostly fucked up social experiment where we pushed peoples boundaries and comfort levels just to see what we could get away with before people got sick or really upset. Both happened and we smiled the whole time.

Sometimes life can get too rigid and fixed in its everyday patterns. And, at least for me, there is real merit in stepping outside that pattern to expose yourself to people and things that make you slightly uncomfortable. I mean, what is it that keeps some people from embracing their goosebumps, enjoying the sensation of raised hair on the back of the neck, or feeling enriched by the surreal knots in their stomachs. While I don’t know what it is that keeps some people locked into their comfortable ways, I do know that I can occasionally use a kick in the ass to get me out of my comfortable patterns.

Life can get really interesting when the feelings that are normally interpreted as signs to flee are harnessed as tools to challenge yourself.

Are you up for the challenge?
