Weekender
On Saturday and Sunday I led an Artsadmin Weekender.
Here are some of the things we got up to:

Die Shard
The laser show planned to mark the completion of The

Tonight is our Independence Day.
Good Luck everyone!

30. What is the smallest tent one can pitch in Zuccotti Park?

Post photos online in an act of digital defiance.
Repeat with incrementally larger tents until you are asked to stop.
31. An enormous inflatable Rudolph
Good luck!
