And yes, they also make music, amongst other things. If ever the word "quirky" applied to a band, OK Go is it, and they'll be bringing their show to Cleveland on Friday at the equally cool concert club, The Grog Shop.
OK Go's frontman, Damian Kulash once said:

Video: Local Customers Talk About "Boo-Rito" Promotion at Chipotle

The Cleveland Leader told you about Chipotle's offer of free burritos if you dressed up as a menu item at the popular chain so we decided to find out what the turnout would be at a local restaurant. We headed over to Middleburg Heights to witness the promotion and weren't surprised to see a line out the door with many people armed with reyonlds wrap. Here is what people had to say about the great Halloween promotion:
Doing What We Don't Need, Not Doing What We Need
Stampede, stampede , stampede.
That’s the Pee Dee’s editorial push on Issues 3 & 6, as it was on Gateway, as it was on Browns Stadium, as it was on the Medical Mart and as it is on the monopoly casino.
What do they have in common?
Build – Build – Build.
That is the Pee Dee’s desire – concrete. That’s the Establishment’s desire – concrete.
Why? Profits. A semblance of Progress.
Do you notice great improvement? Do you notice Progress?
They build what we don’t need and they deprive us of what we do need.
They build, over and over, and tell us this is what we need to make Cleveland and Northeast Ohio better. This is Progress.
But what’s the major problem in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio?
Education. Of all ages. That’s what we need.
Taking care of people. That’s what we need.
But over and over again it’s build something for the multi-millionaires and even billionaires.
Forget about the poor. Forget about the needs of ordinary people.
Build, build, build. Build and it will come. It never comes.
More retail outlets even though we have much too much retail.
Subsidize office space. Even though we have too much office space.
Expand, expand, expand, they tell us.
Even though expansion simply leads to too much unneeded growth.
