    Is it just me or is the shadow of an extra-terrestrial visible in most of these pictures?

    Yeah, it was working for me until I realized that there weren't two goddamned STARBUCKS anchoring the recreation.

    loved the installation. i was out there and came across it while cycling over to cirque bezerk. i had to stop in my tracks and give the cube a spin. and the room up the stoop was a perfect place to slow down from the madness. many thanks, great work!

    I was there. We even sat on the couch in the brownstone. Didn't know it was Astor place but def. knew it was NYC. So cool we were in the New York camp on 8:30 and Esplanade

    Too much! This is great. Where did you guys make this stuff ? Are you creating something for next year? Are you accepting help? I'm thinking of going next year for the first time with some friends. People say it's more fun if you get involved locally and create something.
