You're a Legend

March 5th

Day 2 at Gasworks: Allison asks is anyone feels like a more creative job. Oh, for the love of everything, yes please!
I spend the morning drawing out 25 letters on cardboard, each a meter high, that are to be made 3-dimensional with the help of gaffer tape. [Isn’t that a better name than “duct tape”?]

Upon finishing, Allison informs me that I’m a legend.
In all fairness, “You’re a legend” gets tossed around a lot here, but it’s such a fantastic expression. I feel immense pride for my Sesame-Street-grade letters.

The process of turning them into solid, standing 3D letters, however, is not as easily accomplished: Allison and I only finished several after a couple hours of concerted effort and by then, it’s quitting time for me. And I can’t say I’m sad not to be back tomorrow to finish the job.

Gaffer tape and duct tape are two different things.
