Down to the wire

Yesterday was a very hectic day scrambling to get ready for the BBQ. Bryan & Rudy took apart the temporary walls from a previous art show, recycled the 2 X 4's and framed up the bathrooms & hung the sheetrock.

The biggest curveball was the Friendly Plumber - the company that for weeks has agreed to provide 2 commodes and the labor to install them. Long story short - they left us hanging at the last minute.

One of our contacts in the entertainment game stopped by; a friend of Steve (Francois with Tek-Nique Entertainment) named Britt. At the height of frustration this guy shows up and I just threw out "hey man you know any plumbers!?". As it turns out one of his best friends is a plumber - a guy named Joe! A call was made on the spot....Mad props to Joe the plumber for saving the day. This guy came over on New Years eve and made sure we had at least a working toilet hooked up for the BBQ today.

The ironic twist is that this guy used to work for the Friendly Plumber. Turns out Joe doesn't even have business cards so Isaiah (with Boundless Creativity - our graphics guy on the team) is full throttle on getting Joe the Plumber a company identity. Everything is unfolding the way it's supposed to. Bonds created under this type of pressure and circumstances will be unbreakable. We have a plumber on the team now.

Joe the REAL plumber saves the day on New Year's eve!!

Thanks again Joe for saving our ass.

Our interns Jason & Russell have officially been promoted to full team members. They came back in from Georgia and brought the band with them - O' Youth and Beauty.

Cya @ the BBQ!

Closer

Project 3.0 rolls on with the renovation of the Roosevelt!

We picked up the temporary walls from a previous art show to frame up the bathrooms with. We have the dividing wall in between the male and female bathrooms framed up - so now everything is ready for plumbing; which we will knock out tomorrow. Thanks to Isaiah & Craig for helping out today.

We have one custom made concrete sink (6 feet) already cast. We have a diesel generator that we converted to run on used vegetable oil to power the Heavy Metal BBQ; we also have the used oil from 2 local busineses.

The plan here is to do whatever we need to have functioning bathrooms for the Heavy Metal BBQ on January 1st. During the month of January 09 we are planning to finish the bathrooms with custom cast concrete sinks, custom LED light display and of course permanent walls. A host of other bells & whistles are in store for that buildout.

We are aiming to demonstrate a slice of what the total buildout will look like by knocking out the bathrooms full tilt.
