Hello All Kickstarter fans, followers and friends,

We are SO VERY PLEASED to inform you that as part of the 2012 ZERO1 Biennial  "Pi in the Sky" will take place tomorrow, September 12th over the San Francisco Bay Area. "Pi" will begin it's voyage at approximately 11:45 in San Jose and will be filling the skies over San Francisco at noon. Below I have pasted the approximate times that "Pi" will be over each Bay Area community. We encourage you to go outside tomorrow and spend a long lunch with "Pi". Regardless of where in the Bay Area you witness "Pi in the Sky" from, we want your pictures, thoughts and impressions of the piece.

Hello supporters and followers! We would like to, once again thank you and encourage you all to send the project to friends to try to amplify this Kickstarter in our final 36 hours. 

We are soldiering on. "Pi in the Sky" will appear above the Silicon Valley and San Francisco Bay Area! Please sign up on our email list. We will notify you once flight time is set. Nature will dictate take off time. You can also follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook for flight day and time updates. 

All of our donors and followers in the Bay Area are cordially invited to our Pi Picnic. A spontaneous picnic will occur between September 12th and the 16th. On flight day, an impromptu picnic will get underway at Mission Dolores Park in San Francisco. Join us for a once in a lifetime event outside in the beautiful September weather (San Francisco’s summer). Bring a picnic lunch, and witness the artwork as it materializes above you. We would also like you to contribute to the experience by sharing your impressions. Your impressions are also a part of this unprecedented event! Regardless of where in the Bay Area you witness Pi in the Sky from, we want your pictures, thoughts and impressions of the piece.

Hello to our lovely backers and those interested in the project,

I know that I owe many of you thank you notes and those will be coming very soon (TODAY!). We are also filming a video update with ISHKY on Thursday, so stay tuned.

I just want to encourage all of you to get the word out about Pi In the Sky. At 10% funded with 18 days to go we are grinding it out in optimistic pi fashion. 

So, here is my call to action: 

TWEET THIS: #PiintheSky will use skywriting to write the first 1000 numerals of pi over the SF Bay Area check 'em out http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ishky/pi-in-the-sky …

Email our Kickstarter to 3(.14) friends TODAY. Forward to friends who love art (or outer space). Funding ends Friday night, September 7th. You can tell them this:

Merging art and technology, ISHKY has brought together a team of artists, programmers and scientists to give life to a compelling vision that a community of millions will directly experience. The conceptual work, Pi In The Sky, explores the boundaries of scale, public space, impermanence, and the relationship between Earth and the physical universe.

THANK YOU THANK YOU HUGS,

Pi Producer

The Pi in the Sky launch is a little over thirty days away. REMEMBER TO LOOK UP. Our project partners are racing to complete their portion of the pi, as the world's largest ephemeral installation gears up for its maiden voyage.

Those in the know, will be as excited as we are that Stamen Design has joined the team. That's right, they cued us up after finishing their work for the London Olympics. We cannot wait to see the pre-Pi map they have under wraps.

We haven’t pinned down the exact release date of the pre-Pi map, so stay tuned and we will let you know when the map is released. Stamen’s pre-Pi map will delineate as precisely as possible the route of Pi in the Sky. Users will be able to pinpoint their location on the ground and explore which precise numerals of pi will be in their view the day pi is in the sky. With nature as a partner, she bats last. Project execution will be determined by weather conditions. We have a four day window from September 12th to 16th with our aircraft standing by to launch Pi in the Sky.

Pi in the Sky will be announced approximately 24 hours before. As Pi enthusiasts await our announcement, they can interact and play around with the pre-Pi map. The map will enable users to see the exact route of pi from thousands of miles up gazing down toward Earth, to street view looking up, and anywhere in between.

For the latest updates on when the Stamen pre-Pi map will be available and the exact date of execution of Pi in the Sky follow us on twitter @ISHKYStudios (#pi, #piinthesky) or “like” the Pi In The Sky facebook page for continued updates. And REMEMBER TO LOOK UP."
