As the story goes, friends Jeff Excell, Jeff Knight and Ryan Fly launched plastic chairs into Italy’s Arno river, an event which later served as the muse for their band’s name: Chairs In The Arno.

On the other hand, I, along with four other friends on a Halloween night years ago, purchased a huge pumpkin from a 24-hour gas station which we transported onto the Quebec Bridge and propelled over and onto Champlain Boulevard below. This is the first time I ever use that event as a creative device.

Lesson? Wanton jettisoning of awkward objects into public spaces is grounds for future inspiration. Whether it be from a band who chunk out delightfully fun, unabashedly geeky Moog-hugging IDM music, or a writer desperately hoping he’ll come across as clever.
