As you, of course, know, we’re moving downtown October 12 into the St. Paul Place building on Ross Avenue. I’m looking forward to the new view we’ll have, seen here (image taken by Gustav Schmiege). I say this with all due respect to the SampleHouse & CandleShop, which occupies most of the view we have now.
In any case, our moving plans call for the erection of a big “D” sign high atop the St. Paul Place building. We’ve done some computer modeling to determine the ideal size of the sign, and today we’re taking the next step: throwing up a plywood model so we can see what it’ll look like in the real world. If you work downtown, keep your eyes peeled from about 11:30 to 1. That’s when we plan to have the thing up. Also, just to be safe, you might want to keep your distance. Rumor has it that Spider Monkey is trying to get involved with the project.
Update: I was just informed that our signage party has been canceled. It’s too windy. Apparently the building engineers are worried about a 20-by-20-foot plywood scythe harvesting pedestrians in downtown Dallas. To which I say: with that overly cautious attitude, we’d have never made it to the moon. Chickens.
