Strike

Denver is done. We've struck the set, boxed the parts and are preparing them for freight.
It does feel like a little death. Long live Partly Sunny

Minsuk Cho's Pavilion





















We had an absolutely great time tonight at the funky fresh dance partly under the pavilion. Minsuk and his crew turned a dark park in the center of Denver into a magical wonderland for all the artist and locals to just relax and funk it down. It was the perfect event to see the 2 weeks coming to an end. 

Air Forest


We went to the DJ party tonight at Minsuk Cho's Pavilion. It was a Seussian wonder. A strange, cloud-like vision when glimpsed from across the park, revealed itself some kind of polka dotted, elephant legged, wonder land.

Majora Carter & James Chace Stop In


Majora Carter & James Chace, formerly of Sustainable South Bronx, came by the space on Friday. Majora's work as the Founder and Executive Director of Sustainable South Bronx has long been inspirational, and we were pleased to include their green roof project in the show and to have her participate in the Green Constitutional Congress.

James, disputing the opening statement for the energy projects pointed out that he thought the ear of cheap and plentiful energy was not over, but in fact just about to begin. I hope he is right.

We're all looking forward to what Majora and James will be doing in their new ventures.

Hindsight Is Always 20/20













42 president: Bill Clinton


Today a bunch of us finally made it over to see Luke Dubois instillation. Besides the elegant display of graphic design it was pretty amazing to see the root ideals of each and every president and the eras from with they represented or country.  As we got excited from the words on each piece and laughed about like 5 year olds, Luke himself approached us seemingly from no where and proceeded to break it all down for us. This exact experience was happening the whole time in Denver; the people we look up to and respect just kept popping up around each corner.

Busy Day in Denver

Today was the acceptance speech, and the change over the city was palpable. Where the streets were packed over the past few days, today more than 80,000 people spent hours in line to get into Invesco Stadium to see Barack accept the nomination. It was a relatively quiet day downtown. One of our team made it into the stadium, and the rest of us watched it from home. Although the experience was a mediated as talking to Lynn Hershman's DINA, it felt more immediate for knowing it was just a few miles away and being able to hear the boom out the window of the fireworks we were watching on TV.
