“Organizers of public play events of magnitude tend to forget that what they are doing is so radical, so fraught with political significance. Should they remember, they just might be able to appreciate how far their events reach beyond the fun they create. It’s fun, all right. New games. Old games. But it’s more than all that. It’s a social movement.” – Bernard DeKoven
