Workers playing the factory
Deron writes: On the outsider performance art front: I just found out about this Christmas tradition that happens every year not too far from my parents'. Pretty much every christmas eve since 1925, a wirecloth factory has allowed their steam whistle to be used for an elaborate performance of Christmas carols. The boiler is stoked and people inside the factory pull levers to change the pitch of the whistle. The whole thing is absurd and amazing and creepy all at the same time.
