I read "Work That Plays," a National Post story about Broken City Lab's attempts to revitalize Windsor through the arts, earlier this week, but it wasn't until today that this section fully registered: 

In one project called Rewriting Windsor, citizens came together over a number of evenings and contributed to a multimedia history of the city that included video, audio, text and visual art. The result was a collaborative and imagined history of the city written by the community. 

So, they recreated the last 20 minutes or so of Be Kind Rewind? Alright then. It is a pretty sweet movie. But Justin Langlois should probably send writer-director-media-artist-in-his-own-right Michel Gondry a thank you note.

On my way home from work yestereve, a man walking behind me was trying valiantly to do that thing guys do when walking in the city after dark, which is to go out of their way to make it clear that they are not an attacker. Unfortunately, he took it too far and fell victim to inner city pressure.
