I owe a giant THANK YOU!! to everyone who set up art, performed, helped out, and came and pitched in for the show last saturday! WOW WHAT A SHOW!!!
Friday [or rather saturday] night at about 4:00am, we got Ryon's Eye up on it's arched legs! It was almost frightening to see it up there -- it's HUGE!! The late night made for a groggy morning, but people came out of the woodwork to help with the last minute clean and check, cleaning the bathroom and shop, putting up bathroom and exit signs, refueling, watching door and street and security, setting up, cooking food for the volunteers, and more and more art coming out of the woodwork, F-Space breathing through their setup, and so on. It was stunning to watch it all come together perfectly!
The show was *awesome* [from what I could see from my stressed and sleep-deprived brain. :) ] I resisted falling into a trance while F-Space played. I watched the audience that varied from standing transfixed, to rocking wide-eyed, to head banging! And Amaker was a mosh pit of one, I think! :)
Scot Jenerik bathed Egeria in his flame thrower and ignited her for the finale! Wow. Wow!
Scott's dad thanked us bunches and had a great time [and is inspired to possible join or start a band of his own!]. Fun was had by all, and in particular those who made this amazing show happen!
F-Space and the Shipyard folks are already talking about collaborating -- doing more than merely setting up art and playing beneath it, but working together to make some giant art/performance massive sculptural instrumental freakouts where the boundary between our art and their music does not exist! They want to come back, we want them back, and we want to do MORE next time!
And, personally, I'm way into the "dessert show" time -- 8-10. Just after dinner, just before heading into the City. Short enough and cheap enough everyone can head out to more fun when it's done!
So anyway, thank you thank you thank you! It was a very special event! I am continually amazed and touched by everyone around us. We *all* made this happen, and we made this happen for *us*! Let's keep doing that!
