Speakerphone Art

In honor of April Fool’s day I yesterday I really wanted to plan a great prank. Of course I forgot all about it and did nothing. It was too late when I thought of telling my mom she was going to be a grandmother, or something like that.

The best idea came in around 4p, just as work was winding down and I was getting ready to head to class. Make my voicemail a RickRoll. I had toyed with the idea of calling various people, and businesses and Rickrolling them by phone. However, the idea was brought to my attention that perhaps I should set my voicemail to act as a Rickroll. I dug the idea, still do, but alas nobody that calls me would get it. Stinks.

So coming up this Friday (April somethingorother) is First Friday and the Santa Fe artwalk. I think I be going. DOM (Denver Open Media) has a superb CD exchange where mix CDs are made, and exchanged. Show up, drink free beer, exchange the mix CD you made, leave with 20 new mixes. What I’m thinking of doing is taking Rick Astley’s song, and then “mixing it” through various forms of mediation. As in, play it through a phone and record it, play the song once forward and once backward and then mix those. Play it through great speakers, but wrap tinfoil loosely around the speakers, and record it. That sort of stuff.

Any other cool ideas?
