Week 1: Oh God, we're all gonna die!

Demolition is complete. The space as of the end of week 1 looks like this:

Look, we found an old van under the mainstage! (not really). At this point, we can really examine the entire building to look for fun surprises.

Construction Begins!

Friday, at long last, construction finally began.

I can’t tell you how excited I was to actually see work happening after almost 6 years of planning. This really has been a long road. I spent about three hours Friday morning putting up some signage in the front window and nominally meeting the subcontractors, but what I was really doing was watching the bobcats chew up the theatre like fucking tissue paper. I tell you, strike with one of these bad boys would take an hour. The above photo is from the old bailiwick shop after about an hour of work by one guy. Now, I did a clean up of this space in the early nineties, and it took three of us TWO WEEKS.
