If you've been to Uptown Minneapolis, you've seen the huge metal sign for the library. For those of you not in the know, the Uptown library's sign is the word "library" spelled out in huge individual metal letters, and it's perched up on a hill overlooking Hennepin Avenue, one of the 4 busiest streets in Uptown.

I love this sign. I think it's really cool and original and attention-grabbing, all things that all signs should aspire to be. And since my full name has 3 Ls in it, I decided that the enormous metal L was my objet du jour.

So this is my first task that required me to go out into public and do something (aside from MN0PQ) so I had adrenaline pumping and I was almost skipping over to the the sign. I used bright yellow post-it notes to try and draw more attention to my annotation. It was around 7:45 in the morning on a weekday, so no one was around at all and it was easy to slip up and stick my notes on the L. When the post-it stickum wouldn't hold fast in the face of the blowing wind, I improvised and used my gum.

Unfortunately, the evidence is a bit blurry because my camera's battery died right as I was gearing up to take my shots, leaving me with only my shitty phone cam. The captions on the pics will tell you what the notes say.

[[Voo]]


Edited To Add: It's been several days now and one of my little post-it notes is still on the giant L. Hooray!
