RON SWARNER: ONE CITY. 30 DAYS. WHAT WILL YOU DO? >>>Did it work? Were you duped?

Were you calmly and methodically and rather nefariously led to believe that maybe, just maybe, the Weekly Volcano did indeed have a janitor named Art, and we paid him extra to review art in places of work around the Sound South?

The truth is as sad as it is revolting: You have been lied to, perhaps like no other time in South Sound history, in a more carefully orchestrated and widespread effort than any media organization has managed to attempt in the past.

Actually, it wasn’t that careful â€" the main problem behind the idea.

I couldn’t let the dreadful blog concept continue, especially after yesterday’s review of Santa art.

I apologize for subjecting you to such nonsense.

Art is gone, but not the art.  We’ll continue to give you daily highlights of the wonderful cultural event that is Art at Work: Tacoma Arts Month 2009.
