Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
Jeff Waldman is residing in San Francisco, living life and loving cheese. Hanging these illicit swings has gotten him invited to speak at TEDx and earned a grant from The Awesome Foundation, so he keeps pressing on with this project that continues to bring so many people happiness.
A devoted Chicago Cubs fan and filmmaker, Andrew Hartley hung his first swing with Jeff in San Francisco and has been on board with this project ever since.
The greatest intentions sometimes need a slap in the face. Just get home safe.
safe travels and good swinging...agree a daily blog would be fantastic.
I fell in love with this project when i saw the Swings LA clip linked, with some interviews thrown in, the phrase "just pure joy" really stuck in my head. I was overjoyed to see that we not only reached by overshot the pledge goal!!
Is there a site or blog where we can see the progress on the project?
Maybe see some shots of the work from day/week to day/week? Some shots of the locals?
Otherwise maybe an idea when the DVD will come out so we can watch the work?
Ask for donated frequent flyer miles.
I like round numbers as well.
I LIKE NUMBERS THAT ROUND UP! haha, congrats on reaching your goal!!!!! and i cannot wait to see where else you take this.
