joe mama and prank monkey's blank flyers made my neighborhood a better place to be, so while visiting chicago for the long weekend, i got together with my friends brian and marya to make intentionally blank flyers for the second city. marya got us into the library of a private educational institution, where we made use of the mac lab to print 150 flyers for free.

we had limited time, which inhibited the scope. we dropped the first few flyers at the excellent local record store, then headed north and west to the wicker park neighborhood, where i've flyered many times for other purposes without actually enjoying it or feeling it was remotely worthwhile. this was so nice to do: completely stressfree nonadvertising.

we posted the flyers all over and around the intersection of damen, north, and milwaukee, and took photos. clerks at record stores and bookstores were mostly nonphased by the flyer's contents. people on the street often stopped to look at what we were hanging up, and sometimes read them out loud or laughed about it. we hung them on trash cans, telephone poles, bulletin boards, construction sites, abandoned storefronts, and stashed many inside the free weekly paper called red eye. the cashier at starbucks hung it in their "starbucks happenings" board and said, "great. starbucks is now postmodern." our work here is done.
