Hmmmmm..looks like a very cool idea...It teeters on the brink of offending a few of our rules and guidelines but I will go out on a limb here and say...

..OK.. We'll keep it up.

But..
1) I will move this to a more appropriate forum, (Just Babbling)
2) You may post updates only... At the first sign of "over promotion" or mention of donations... it's gone..

Glad you dropped in.. don't be a stranger..

maybe I'll make a flag..

deal! thank you.

I have read over the site above and it seems to be a pretty cool project.. I would encourage anyone who is creative and "crafty" to take a look.. It would be cool to have a bunch of "Our Guys Flags" flying with this project..

I may make one with my kids..

Hey innertide, welcome! Is the parade your idea, or are you just helping organize it?

thanks for the warm welcome.

the exhibit was inspired by the band and the fans...
it was either all of our ideas, or none of them.

in the begining it was just an idea,
until a few floyd fans, like you, decided to get involved.
and help it really come together.

who thought of it? really you did...
because everyone wished and hoped that
they had a way to tell pink floyd how they felt...
so now... this is your chance.

your personal flag can
and really will make the difference.
that is why i am here to personally
discuss this exhibit with you...
(and not getting paid to do so.)

the event will be held in the English countryside,
near to thier home town, Cambridge.
the panoramic outdoor scenery is
just a part of the artwork.
the idea of making it "an individual
art exhibit within one large piece of art",
is inspired by pink floyd art works.

(for any one who doesnt know),
storm is a long time friend of- and
thee standing art director for pink floyd...
http://www.stormthorgerson.com
(he/they're just the best!)


the exhibit could also be seen as a "metaphor for life".

(...mmmm metaphors...)

I wish I could go to that, it sounds quite interesting.

we will be attempting to have a webcam on site for everyone who cannot make it.

and pictures will be available before and after the event.
