I saw this performance at the Menil. It was awesome! Seriously amazing. I was so thrilled to see it happening. I wish I had been in the Kroger. I'm game to participate in any future grocery performances. This is the best dance troupe I've encountered. Kudos. > >>

Seriously ridiculous is always preferable to ridiculously serious. I'm with you on that.

CJ - In the wonderful age of FauxNews, sometimes it is difficult for a commoner such as myself to distinguish the difference between ridiculous and serious. They seem quite intertwined at times. sexyATTACK is seriously ridiculous.

Hey coog78 - I was making fun of Austin by suggesting that everyone would be doing performance art at the grocery store. It was intended to be a ridiculous statement. Lighten up a bit.

"The other shoppers in Austin would be doing performance art".... besides being a completely ridiculous statement, untrue. The "if you ignore it it doesn't exist" attitude is the theme of that entire town. Apathetic, uninvolved and out of touch. Austin. Big Kudos to SexyATTACK. Too bad I wasn't at Rudyards that night it was attacked.

Speaking of the live music in the River Oaks Kroger, am I the only one who finds that more annoying that entertaining? For one thing, I can hardly ever hear the music when I'm actually back in, say, the yogurt section, and for another, I invariably get tangled up with the musicians when they're setting up or taking down their equipment. All I'm saying is, isn't Muzak enough?

Hhmmmmm...in all my years of shopping at disco Kroger, I have yet to see seven or so choreographed dancers do a routine to music that the rest of us can hear. Perhaps I always go on the wrong day. I don't think that "lots of reaction would happen in towns like Austin" because the other shoppers in any random Austin grocery store would ALSO be doing some sort of performance art, therefore leaving no one to be an audience or cause a crowd.

Classic. Yeah, two things, there is always live music there and it is IN the heart of Houston near Montrose. We've seen it all, a crowd and lots of reaction would happen in towns like Austin or Dallas, just not here. Welcome to the neighborhood.

I'm not surprised that shoppers kept on going. That Kroger has live music every weekend to "entertain" us when we walk in. Shoppers there are used to ignoring performing artists.

Seriously - what is wrong with the majority of the people in that grocery store? Why did they pretend like that wasn't happening? I mean, it's fine if you don't think it's funny or don't dig performance art or whatever. But at least acknowledge that something is happening around you instead of acting like a robot. Who loves yogurt. Or maybe this is just an example of the "if we ignore it, it doesn't exist" mindset that seems to pervade most people's lives these days. Pass the Go-Gurt.

I like how even the sexy isn't enough to deter determined River Oaksers from getting their yogurt.
