Some things we have only as long as they remain lost, some things are not lost only as long as they remain distant.
Rebecca Solnit
Tea Project is… Tantamount with discovery* Everyone simultaneously viewing and performing* Appropriating pre-digital interactive relationships* People not objects* Refining active participation* Oriented by process* Juxtaposing formality and fun* Examining this assumption: fun is impossible without money* Consensual Transformation* Temporary refuge from the commoditized social landscapes that surround us*


This is a picture of the first mounting ceremony. The "gun" mounting ceremony. These are some of the people who came to whitness this momentous event. They pose with the 800px replica that my friend Chris and I made out of cardboard, Superglue and masking tape. We hung it on this public gun rack that we found on NW Everett Street between 3rd and 4th in Oldtown (that is Chris, with blonde hair, on the right hugging our friend Tuey).
Here is the 800px replica by itself. It really is a fine work of cardboard craftsmanship.
This fire hydrant reminded me of my friend M. He decided to stop being my friend because I couldn't give him what he wanted. I can respect that, sometimes relationships just dont work out. The other thing this hydrant reminds me of is a penis which is how I felt M acted when he ended our relationship.
