In typical Fashion i was doing it on a Budget of ZERO Dollars but lined up thee most Amazing Space BCE Place just a Month b4 the Show*
The Space was designed by Santiago Calatrava + is truly Unbelievable*
Atanyrate like yer Big Screen here my plan was to have all my Digital Photos Running throughout the Day cuz it is home to all the Corporate Biz Boys on Bay Street + also Movenpick Resto would get over 5000 people a Night trucking thru fer Dinner*
Well I got Stymied cuz I fergot during the Day the Skylights washed out the Projection Screen*
So I lost the Day Crowd*
+ I also learned just what a Monumental Job it is for Artists trying to lineup Gallery Space (i never knew they had to Frigging PAY to Show!!) I got the Space provided by Ma Bell but I had to cough up $1,000 Bucks outta my own Pocket in case somebody Tripped over a Wire or whatever*
Fortunately my Friendz came thru + Helped by providing some Equipment Gear + we thru a Party + DJ's Spun Beats + we also Streamed Digital Photos of the Event almost Live!
I would run around + Shoot Everybody + then Download then Race Upstairs to the Office where we had access to a Fax Phone Line fer Internet!!
