it's cold

Minneapolis has just embarked on a journey into sub-zero temperatures. It is always an adventure. The kind where you pretty much know what to expect. Extreme awareness of anything that happens to be in your nose because it is now frozen. Extreme awareness of your fingers and toes because they, too, are frozen. Extreme awareness of any exposed patch of skin because it is not only frozen, but probably frostbitten. Nobody loves this weather. People who claim to are just trying to be different.

For a few months, I've been working with some very cool people on a special project that has involved much more outdoor time than I would ever have chosen to spend on my own. Here are some pics of our work thus far. The project is for the art shanty festival on Medicine Lake. A truly crazy affair. Please stop by and witness it for yourself. It is going to be so much fun. Check out the official line-up here.
