So, nothing good ever happens in So-Cal huh?
In Ojai, Ca we were tired of our town's, right-leaning Fourth of July parade. So we dicided to build the U.S.S. Constitution.
We are a guerilla theater group founded just before the Iraq war operating under the rubric that the only way to reach the American public is through entertainment. We were frustrated with traditional protest because it had become too easily neutralized by the media. We were tired of our towns right leaning Fourth of July parade which we felt really didn't represent the majority of people in Ojai. Ojai is know as a fairly "Arty" place, yet on the Fourth we were bombarded with support the troops, gung-ho, Under God propaganda. And it wasn't even well thought out, well done propaganda. We got into the parade by forming a group called the Ojai Patriot's Club. The OPC's Colonial ReEnactment Players, or C.R.E.E.P., were in charge of the parade performance.
