"While the spirit of neighborliness was important on the frontier because neighbors were so few, it is even more important now because our neighbors are so many." -- Lady Bird Johnson
Scarves for the Addison St. Yarn Bombing are due today. Installation is October 11th. If you haven't finished your contribution, don't panic, Mary and I are taking submissions until October 8th. October 9th is the last day we will have in the studio to connect prior to installation.
Drop off boxes are are on my front porch (message me for the address) and at the Athletic Field Park House, 3546 W. Addison St., Chicago.
Check out the video. Joanie Friedman who initiated the entire revitalization of this previously cold and ugly corner of my neighborhood sent it to me this morning. It really caputres the energy that has gone into the yarn bombing and the mural. I can't wait until installation! Get ready for one wild and colorful line spanning the entire bridge like a crazy Dr. Who scarf!
If you have time to help us install, we will be at the bridge next to the mural at 10am on the 11th. Installation will proceed from west to east across the bridge. Bring scissors with you.
Don't forget to vote too! We are neck and neck for first prize in the Space in Between competition. The $1500 award would be used to further revitalize the neighborhood. You don't have to be a member of the project or of the community to vote. Just let them know that you like what we are trying to do.
