Shoestring Public Works

I vote we absorb these guys into the Collective! Prime example of DIY, making something out of nothing AND making their immediate community a little bit better.

Getting Underway

Mr. Ford's old boats make great Circus Vessels. Agnes is out of mothballs and leaving port at sunup, docking and delivering the intrepid crew by sundown to St. Andrew's-Sewanee School for a week of exploring Other Possibilities.

Bon Voyage!

A most honorable endeavor...

This is quite beautiful, the kind of work I aspire to.

Takes my breath away.

Worthwhile reading here.

Day two of the SAS show install

We drove. We stumbled onto awesome tamales. And oh yeah, we installed a show..

More info about it here.

I'm feeling a little awesome tonight...

On the coldest day of the winter so far..

I've always had this dream of doing some sort of traveling/guerilla art/impromptu/tent revival/road show where you could roll into a town, do a thing and roll out, leaving behind splashes of color, snippets of sound, encouraging words, echoing laughter and fond memories.


I guess today is the beginning of sorts. We leave at first light for faraway places, and adventures to unfold..

Taking the Shoestring Artists Traveling Circus and Just Add Water Art Show and School of Other Possibilities on the road...

All systems go...

Bon voyage!
