:eltiT

The last comments immediately forced me to think of this competition not as a meeting place in the sense that it is a noun, but rather to be thought of as a verb, which is in fact the bush we have been beating about all along. aaah, the interpretational openness of linguistics. Anyhow, in relation to wiping ourselves clean of the green tshirt we could use simple location of an artifact superimposed on the city (similar to redball) except it doesn't move. or maybe it does. for example - a grid of bullhorns(red) scattered about the city (anchored or mobile). here, we still have the stencil in the artifact (bullhorn 1, 2, 3, etc.) and have given the means to meet. you know someone is gonna shout something completely inappropriate into one of these things sparking conversation between bystanders, this leads to chit chat you know no big deal, which leads to a second date (meeting place), which leads to pregnacy, which leads to marriage. we've made a difference. i cannot see any advantages of a mobile meeting space at the moment except confusion to those of whom you do not want to meet - which opens up another can of worms to consider. the selective editing of the who in meeting - on line dating? a bullhorn that only talks to those that share things in common with you. i started to ramble and now i can't remember where i was going with this. someone pick me up or refute right about... now

I like the idea of a series of mobile bullhorn-in-a-grid like artifact. I hope we have the same idea or picture in mind. because mine seems to be hilarious.
I remember seeing a big bullhorn like installation in a plaza.
