Art Depot aka Fort Charity, Hope & Faith

Playing on the computer? Duh, Muse's The Resistance. I may be an idealist and hopeless romantic with a heart of axonite, but my spirit will always be cotton candy rebellion

Carson & Amy's late night drive

Last night Carson and Amy came into Lubbock for a few hours to shower and do laundry.
While here they picked up the sign post, shootin' wood, impotable water for concrete mixing, concrete sacks, and food supplies.
Here you can see Carson strapping down the 15' signpost for the trip. Chad Plunket welded the three sections together for us. Terry Mason made the post in sections for us to travel here. Again, ebm is impossible without amazing support from family and friends. It often feels to me like a lesson to renew and reinforce my faith in the kindness and generosity of human beings.
Hopefully Earthbound Moon will serve to inspire that faith in others, too, in the future. Then we will have truly accomplished something worthwhile.

the view from Fort Purgatory

aka artist run gallery Art Depot, one of the many organizations supplying us with invaluable support. Truthfully, I don't think we could do this without the incredible material and moral support from the amazing artist community here in Lubbock. They are heroes.

final concrete pour today

Amy's on her way in to Lubbock from Bledsoe soon. She's picking up the final load of concrete today. Given no more unforeseen misfortunes, we will have the sign base poured, with base plate and concrete anchor bolts in place by evening. Amy is also going out to the airport to, hopefully, pick up Ben's bag. Lubbock terminal Continental says they have it. But we've driven out there before after being told that, only to leave empty handed. Of course, with Heidi's bag, we were at the airport picking up Alex and Continental assured us the bag wasn't there when it was. lol
Sunday morning, overcast and cool. Beautiful day. Carson just texted me that the crew (Alex, Amy, Ben, Carson, Heidi) are having pancakes and eggs and coffee in the desert. I'm holding down our urban fort, Fort Finances, with coffee from the gas station down the street and Muse's Uprising blaring on my computer. All is Edenic and mythological. We're phenomenally lucky folk.

I watched Alex herd a beetle!

He's a natural born insect cowboy!

Continental attemts to sabotage EbM. Bad airline! Bad!

We've no idea what Continental's excuse for losing both Heidi's and Ben's bags are. But David Mondt at TTU is an angel of patience and salvation. He resolved our issues with the payment and legality of Heidi's and our lecture. Now we're outfitting Ben w new desert kit. Then I'll race to Bledsoe and drop them off in the desert and race back to Lubbock to pick up the sign post from another of our Lubbock heroes, Jon Whitfill. And his angel of a wife, Danielle, who is putting up with being the EbM post office.
