Performance Indication #2

like a nightingale with a toothache






- Erik Satie



Date: Tuesday, November 9, 2004
Line: "SFO/Millbrae" BART train (car 1614y)
Location: between 12th Street & West Oakland stations


A lady wearing a black winter coat boards the train at Embarcadero station. Noticing a free seat where the indication is placed, she promptly brushes the indication onto the floor. She then sits on the now indication-free seat, opens a paperback novel, and begins to read.
