I've been planning on doing this for many, many reasons...
Combo-praxis, here I come!
This may possibly be one of the coolest things I've ever heard of... much less conceived...
Kudos for a success.
Consider a deliberate, organized dérive for other people?

But I don't think "on South Pole" will quite make up for "on the South Pole."
Vote for style.
Putting up false pretenses that weren't really false in regards to art without being pretentious.
I like it.
I don't want to nitpick, but that wasn't exactly growing wild in the city, so far as I can tell....
I agree to the fullest extent about not encouraging destruction. However, the "vandalism" of "public" property does not quite step into the domain of destruction, especially when the "vandalism" has meaning or beauty. I created a 10 page long stencil that took 7 hours to cut to that effect. Looking over to my door, it says: "Disclaimer: This art has been placed her at the risk of those involved to send a message, express thought, or create beauty. Subsequent removal, destruction, or defacement of these works of art as strictly prohibited and punishable under natural law. Those who endeavor to destroy what we have worked to create are doing no more than suppressing free expression and thought, and ultimately making the surrounding area LESS beautiful.
If art is a crime, we'd rather be GUILTY."
Also, in regards to generating fun-ness for players, nothing makes me happier than seeing tasteful, meaningful, or beautiful graffiti or vandalism, and I know many people who have the same sentiments. The nature of graffiti is one of the most subjective and controversial things that I've ever encountered in my conversations with people, and it should be recognized as such.
Also, "regular" vandalism is fun. It is a great group building activity, it gives some degree of risk and adventure to your life, it gives another avenue for artistic/poetic/egotistical expression, and it gives something to occupy otherwise boring moments of our life with something that damages our kidneys that *isn't* a controlled substance.
Finally, public property does not stand in the "private" domain, and large slabs of pink/grey/white concrete/brick/drywall should not be "protected" so vehemently as a integral part of urban beautification when somebody takes the initiative to make an aesthetic judgment and beautify it in a new and interesting way.
Why yes, yes it's Frank.
I thought the stencils were remarkably appropriate for "The Society of Dreamers," seeing as how Donnie Darko ended in an "it was all just a bad dream" and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was a fucked up dream.
