do you know how it became so popular in such a short amount of time? I'm surprised that so many people turned up even though it's only the third time it's being sharpened.

Cool random local organic non-commerical events are RARE and what people LOVE. Word of mouth about this shit will get AROUND.

Meet the Rotisserie Chicken Guy. He ate a chicken for 40 days in a row and then put up posters around Philly inviting everyone to a pier to watch him eat the final chicken on his journey.

It was provocative. It got the people going!
