The Road View



Hanging


glory days: when jumping onto buildings was made with ease. One only has to fit through a toliet window, ninja walk the roof, put up old frosted ladders, warped by wind, sand, fire, and earth. Climb the ladder rope and sign, and hope that the wind does not blow it over...but this is what poeple who carrie first aid kits around their belts and have 911 on speed dial hope for "the danger of helping the fallen" The fort went up and no one went down.

Subtle Salutations




walking in to a building without an address is pretty ballsie, so we decided if there are no numbers on the building we would make letters to greet the lovely public that joined us at our function.

Thinking Big?



Have you ever wondered how ideas pop in to ones mind?
