THIS MODERN WORLD
Dept. of Thingamajigs Last week’s illustration of Lance Armstrong raising a pill-filled trophy with syringes hanging out of his arms was not, as we had deduced after much investigation, an uncredited guerrilla public art project (“Steep Climb,” May 15). In fact, it is the work of the very talented local artist Mike Koftinow. Because some confusion persists, let it be known that we feel BottleRock was a great success against mammoth odds (“Best of the Fest,” May 15). People sucking face, free beer, dominatrixes, boyfriends eating food off the ground— all that so-called negative stuff in last week’s roundup kicks ass in our book, and makes a fun, chaotic, lively festival instead of a boring, staid, dull one.
