We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on July 19, 2010.

Lattice Complete!! Harps nearly Complete!

Update #5 · Jul 14, 2010 · comment

We cut & sanded the final piece of lattice today, with a heroic work party and a new raft of volunteers who cropped up and are full of energy. We've begun painting, and we're making the laminations for the arches. It is looking incredible! Next weekend we should be setting up the rest of the structure, and putting together the bases for the fire organs.

Thanks to so many of you who have donated in the last couple days, we are getting really close to our goal!! Please encourage your friends to give as well. We have just over $1500 to raise!
