BIG RIG JIG - 2, originally uploaded by Mike C.

This is the warehouse in Oakland where my downstairs neighbor is leading a team of welders in making a huge sculpture. It's two tanker trucks (real ones) forming a vertical helix with a garden inside.

He's something like $20k over budget already. We're having a fundraiser next weekend at 3rd Ward.

My people are beautiful and rare! Last night I was too exhausted to really get down but happy to be with them. I rode home from 181st St./the George Washington Bridge on my bike yesterday. Yeah that's a long way. Also saw the reed boat:

!!! Then helicopters landed right next to us and I was like "Whoa" and Jeff was like "the place where we live is surreal."

I just got back in town, did I miss le Jaques Cousteau programme?

I love the sound of a welded tanker truck vertical helix thing... I'll tell my BM-bound friends to look for it!
