Double-decker tour buses are hardly a novel sight in Manhattan, but if you bedazzle the bus with sequins and glittering streamers and load it up with a rowdy, pajama-clad brass band, even the most jaded New Yorker will stop and look. We know because we were there, squeezed in among rowdy musicians atop a bedazzled bus that wound its way through the city streets on Friday afternoon. The traveling performance was part of an effort to drum up publicity and support for a public art installation that two artists want to bring to Central Park. Nope, it’s not The Gates Part II. It’s a miniature floating city called Chili Moon Town.
