anthony gormley's one and other plinth thing

is anyone watching this? i can't stop watching it there's someone on it how who must basically have mental problems.. she is currently tying a paper cut out shape of a woman to a pole, to music

sorry antony i added an h to your name

she's now dancing with it! classic. have seen a few timewasters up there - someone on her mobile phone last night.

haven't realy been watching the live feed though, i should do. it's only a quarter of the way through - still a chance to enter!

"P.S If you see me taking pictures of my feet that's what I'm doing"

Yes, she's quite entertaining. My friend was on it but I only found out after the fact so missed it. I think he just sat up there updating his facebook status. I suppose it is meant to be some sort of portrait of society today or something, so yeah. To be honest, if I was up there I'd just read a book. Maybe take some wine and cigs. And a picnic.

i think she really has mental problems. i worry what will happen when she comes down from this, literally

if i was up there i will recite the whole of jeff wayne's musical version of war of the worlds

I was going to say with Chemistry Experiment backing, but you can only go up one at a time, can't you? We could set up around the bottom of the plinth.

What is she writing on the umbrella?

couldn't read it! hoping for a close up later.. i could read "hello" but when she said 'this is for all of you' i was expecting something more profound.. (or less profound??)

Ah, I don't have sound. Is she babbling like a mentalist, then?

i wonder if anyone will commit suicide live on the plinth? this would fit in with the recent euthanasia stuff on the news

yes she has been talking all sorts!!! kept mentioning something about an elephant!

and how there's no elephant on the plinth just now and her and the cut out, dancing, being happy, serious problems!!!!!

ken, are you still watching? I can't work out what this guy's doing. Poo in a box?

now: unconventional chair sitting

emily i stayed put to watch that guy with those boxes, wasted 15 minutes watching him unwrapping empty plastic boxes, in fact, then he just wanted to talk about archeology!!!! i can't believe he cheated 15 minutes out of my life like that

so glad the website isn't working at work, in a way..

We were there last night to watch erstwhile ILXer Chris T-T up there with a guitar and amp. It was kind of cool.

oh yeah saw chris TT i didn't know he was an ILXor!!!

He had to restring his guitar at one point and helpfully informed the internet audience that they had about a five minute window to go and look at some porn.

Woman up there right now appears to be playing Hangman.

These things are all archived, yay, watching Chris T-T right now!

It's awesome that Chris T-T was on, but maybe a bit fruitless me watching it without sound. Bah.

srsly glad/upset i cannot watch this at work.

Erm, yes, crikey... I'll be plinthing between 18:00 and 19:00 on Thursday September 17th. There will be a "collaborative" aspect, so if you turn up you'll be able to take part. (But only if you... well, more of that at a later date.)

Awesome, mike. Shall try to watch.

Cool. Can you remind us nearer the time?

Oh, you can count on that!

Cool. Can you remind us nearer the time?

OK then! I'll be dancing on the plinth on Thursday evening (September 17), between 6pm and 7pm, and I'm encouraging people to dance along with me - either in Trafalgar Square itself, or while watching the live stream at http://www.oneandother.co.uk

To take part, you can either stream or download the 60-minute mix (not a second more, not a second less) which I've compiled in readiness. It can be found at one of two locations (take your pick):

http://soundcloud.com/miketd/mikes-plinth-mix
http://www.zshare.net/audio/65568530f16dea46/

(Track listing is in the "lyrics" tab of the MP3.)

At the top of the hour, I'll give a THREE-TWO-ONE-GO signal. Play buttons will be pressed - hopefully in approximate synch - and the party will start.

At the end of the hour, there will be drinking.

Here's my profile page on the official website: http://www.oneandother.co.uk/participants/miketd/

Here's the Facebook event page: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=135980332201

There's more info on my blog: http://www.troubled-diva.com/

Two more things:
1. I'm a really crap dancer. But that's beside the point!
2. The mix is chirpy, crowd-pleasing, stuffed with Personal Resonance, and really, really gay.

That's a great idea.

Pimp! Bump!

Is that the dance you'll be doing?

It's as good a description as any...

Last pimp-bump, as I'll be dancing on the plinth TODAY.

At this point in time, I would strongly advise you to not stop until you get enough...

No more poison, killing my emotion. I will not be frozen. Dancing is my remedy.

We are watching Mike on the plinth now. He has been dancing to 'I Don't Feel Like Dancing' followed by 'Just Dance'. Pattern emerging?

go mike

This is pretty fucking cool, ace mix too. And Mike's the second person this week I 'know' who's on the plinth.

Yes indeed! Like the shirt too.

He's keeping the NRG hi... 'The best things in life are free' now.

He's now competing with a human beatbox with an amp in the middle of the square...

Well done Mike! Enjoyed the mix.

caught you on teh internet, great stuff, better than most of the feebs up there. right now there's yet another guy just wandering around, talking on his mobile.

Well danced Mike, right to the end and beyond - loved the air guitar even as they were taking you away!
Also great t-shirt.

Funniest thing was the green platform coming to rest to let the next person on, and it crushing Mike's water bottle and soaking him.

Nice to meet you last night Mike. Top dancing action.

Thank you, all. It was a total blast from start to finish. Great to meet Stevem and Matt DC last night.

I recommend fast-forwarding to the final minute of http://www.oneandother.co.uk/participants/miketd for an unplanned Comedy Moment.

Another friend is on this now, playing the theremin.

So, it all ends today!

everyone i saw was rubbish. except for one guy. who was doing his expenses.
