OFFICIAL SPECTATOR CODE OF CONDUCT

  1. Hands, equipped with white gloves (Fashion item #3 above), should be waved VIGOROUSLY overhead whenever viewing Kinetic Sculptures or when on camera.
  2. Tall Spectators must take care to stand in back row when witnessing Glorious Events. On no account should Spectators throw their bodies in the path of oncoming Sculptures.
  3. Cardboard Grin must be worn at all times when personal misery or state of mind interferes with maintaining a normal happy smile.
  4. Be sure to remove lens cap from camera before serious picture taking.
  5. Eat a good breakfast for extra stamina for the day's rigorous events.
  6. Littering, if it fits your character, is OK. However, see rule #10.
  7. Refrain from pushing or otherwise assisting Sculptures while Race Officials are watching.
  8. Do not tie up Port-a-Potties in order to apply makeup or to eat lunch or to escape inclement weather.
  9. You are a Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Spectator Ambassador to the World. Remember that local, national, and international cameras are on you (your mother is watching). It is your Kinetic Duty to represent our Glorious City with Dignity and Distinction.
  10. At the end of the day, Spectators shall pick up their own litter and the litter of others, depositing same in suitable receptacles. Kinetic Sculpture Race Officials, Pilots, Pit Crew, Barnacles, and Spectators are very tidy people. Furthermore, this is the only Glorious City we've got to race in. If you are derelict in your Spectator Duties, this Glorious race will be banished from this Glorious Kingdom of Baltimore.
