Today is the calm before the storm. The lovely idyllic day where we meet Amy in the park for the first half of her 16 hour chalk mural. Jon will start out by helping her grid out the area and making sure she is well supplied in pastels and coffee and then she sets boldly to work. This year she is doing a clever :before/after look at the world with beavers and without. The “Just add beavers” side will be wider and tackled tomorrow. Today is just the dry bleak world we would all have without beavers.
We’ll bring her lunch and hang out a bit, and then Jon’s off to Uhaul and the John Muir Historic site to borrow tents for the big day. Yesterday we brought down supplies for the festival and our living room looks like a train station. In the afternoon Jon loads everything into the Uhaul and parks the truck at the park. Amy finishes her first half and we set up barricades to protect her work and mark the park for where exhibits go tomorrow.
If you’re curious about the work in progress stop by Susana park and watch it all unfold. If you wish you could be there but just can’t make watch this instead, which i know you will love.
Or maybe you should be like me and just do both.
