I need your help to plant a forest

From my friend Justin:


Greetings,

I have some exciting news to share with you. The Baltimore Sculpture
Project has invited my project 7,000 Evergreens to be part of its
2008-2009 show, which will open July 17 and remain open through May
2009. The Baltimore Sculpture Project is a public sculpture show in
downtown Baltimore, so we are thrilled to have the opportunity to gain
exposure for our project and further explore the creative
possibilities for artificial trees in the landscape.

The 7,000 Evergreens project will install a forest of artificial
evergreen trees for the Baltimore show, and we are currently seeking
donations of unwanted plastic Christmas trees and other artificial
evergreens. We will accept trees of all colors, sizes, shapes and
varieties. If you have a tree that you would like to donate, or if
you know someone who does, please contact me to arrange pickup or
delivery of the tree.

Information about the show opening is forthcoming.

Want to make Art? We are always seeking volunteer planters. Now it
is easier than ever to plant a tree and send documentation to us. If
you have a Flickr account, simply add your photo to our 7,000
Evergreens Flickr group and the photo will appear on the 7,000
Evergreens website!

Best,
-Justin

headed to P town!

I'm headed to Portland to visit old friends this weekend and pick up
some of my favorite Washington Wine by Waving Tree Winery. I'm hoping
to hit the Pearl District while out there and see what Portland has
been up to in the Arts since I left before grad school. I'm hoping to
get some great Northwest air and be in wide open spaces.
