The Center for Tactical Magic: a fusion force summoned from the ways of the artist, the magician, the ninja, and the private investigator.

Sounds a bit like a new-agey Operation Mindfuck that takes itself way too seriously. They need to play a few games of Sink, I think.

Hahahahaha, that's Nigel. He's always wearing white gloves.

The Justice Ninja's kicked his ass good in the "lights out" cage match at last year's Dojo Flow Show.

Amateur.

Ooh, agitprop tag. I love this kind of stuff, the semiotic reclamation is great. Sort of reminds me of this stuff.

I certainly enjoyed the material, although I have to say that, after passing through several levels of irony (which is a daily activity for many Santa Cruzians, I'd guess), I find myself wondering about Peoria. And Springfield (all of them).

Don't worry. Peoria and Springfield are balanced out by Normal, IL.

I figure, if somebody's written pages of manifestoey prose to justify the creation of the Ultimate Jacket, it's not because the manifesto commands them to construct the jacket, it's 'cause they really want to make the Ultimate Jacket. On behalf of eternal 11-year-olds everywhere I salute them! Excellent.

Mostly I just love the name. It could be used for so many things, all of them slathered in cheese.

"Your culture jam skills are impressive"

Excellent, use of audience invitation instead of most "fight the state" crap I get sent where the 'jammers' do their damndest to alienate the public.
