I am so happy that it all worked out. We had no idea when we started working that anyone else was planning to fix it that night. I think we only missed you by an hour or so.
Anyway, I love the project so much that I wished I had had an opportunity to participate, and this gave me that opportunity. Plus the opportunity to spend some really good time with my daughter, Evie. There's nothing quite like a hammer on a sunny afternoon in the park to bring a parent and child closer.
The afternoon was incredibly satisfying, and the response to the result also. I'm just happy it was there to fix.
Hi Ariock!
Yes, we sat across from one another in the very end of a great game of Zombie Villiage, and it was up to you to decide whether I was telling the truth or not.
I wasn't.
I won this little guy:
who my daughter still sleeps with! One of the best games I've ever played, and I'm looking forward to playing it again sometime (haven't had the chance since). Nice to re-meet you!
I just wanted to let folks know that I have completed the Restoration task for Doorhenge, thanks to Sean's kindness in lowering ti to a Level 1 task. I'm looking forward to many more tasks coming up in the future!
Yup, it was just us.
Seriously, if I had thought about it at all I would have balked, but we just sort of walked up to the doors, I grabbed on to one (as can be seen in the pictures) and just hoisted it up. Helps being big, plus having such an able hammer-er (those rebar stakes are tough to get into the ground sometimes, but she's a trooper).
What I'm amazed about is the timing. From what I can tell, it came down between 3 and 10pm on Monday, and the call was out to start fixing it at 6 on Tuesday. My daughter and I just found it, not knowing anyone else would be along to fix it, and put it together, finishing not more than an hour before other folks showed up.
Anyway, my family and I are honored to have been mojo conduits!
I think another interperetation could be that the narrative might be in a conventional form (audio tape, words on paper, video), but that it is delivered to the intended in an unconventional and novel (excuse the pun) way (like delivery by owl or vacuum tube).
Wow... I am speechless... Thank you everyone for your votes and kind words. I am so happy that our small afternoon of repair work has pleased everyone so.
in order not to make a fool of myself,
I'll just say this are strikingly lovely. Particularly New Years. More being made?
I can't believe you found that sign. I can just see John Cleese walking one (the dog, not the sign... though that'd be funny, too).
So, does this mean the art has to be SF0 related, or does SF0 guerrilla art just mean guerrilla art by an SF0 player?
Actually it was my daughter and I who fixed it this afternoon.
I had shown it to my son in it's glory a couple weeks ago, but my daughter had never seen it. After picking her up at school today we were driving by the buffalo and she said she'd like to see it, so I took her over.
On seeing the awful vandalism done to the lovely graffiti painted doors, we decided to try and throw a couple back up. Without a hammer it was a little tough to drive the stakes back into the ground, so we went home, got a hammer, and came back.
We worked for about 3 hours or so putting the 6 henges that had fallen back up and pounding them back into place. I lifted and held the henges up while she hammered. A couple came out a little crooked, but we fixed whatever we could. Unfortunately many of the brackets were bent and the bolts torn out, so some are less sturdy than they were, but we tried to bend things back into shaped as much as possible.
The satellite dish was a gift from some of the weekend revelers, as were some mardi gras beads, a comb, and a little stuffed koala bear on a ceramic stand. I unbent the satellite dish and put it in an appropriate place while my daughter wrapped the beads around the comb and hung them on one of the doors. The koala we placed by the explanation notice.
It was just one of those moments when you see something wrong and you just fix it, almost without thinking. All in all it was a lovely afternoon.
Back home, I figured there must be some task I could apply this to, and there is (Restoration) but I'm not at a level yet to add that task. I guess I'd better get to work.
