the Water Causeway at The Maker Faire

Thanks to all The Maker Faire team for a great weekend, The Water Causeway was a big hit. Somehow, I only got one little video, my lady Star has others which we will load soon, if anybody has good video they could send, I'd really appreciate it! I'll post a link soon.

I had a total blast, the Black Hole generated a flood of smiles and joy and laughter and wonder.

Thanks to all who stopped by as I was packing up to express their appreciation, and to all who enjoyed the piece today. And to Devon and Cyrus and Nancy for welcome support!

Take a look at my other videos, let me know you visited, come on back, I'll post more soon.

The Water Causeway update

The Water Causeway is now installed and working behind the Dance Palace in Point Reyes Station, after the investment of considerable time and effort.
First day out, wouldn't you know, it rained most of the day, so I still have yet to observe it in action with the desired 20 or 30 people walking around on it.
Next weekend is The Geography of Hope, Reflections on Water,Poetry and Literature Conference
http://www.ptreyesbooks.com/goh/conference
and we are looking forward to a good flow of people at that time.
I have somewhat reorganised my online presence, here are links to videos of the project, as well as several concerning The Black Hole, my related previous piece.
