The tower was COVERED in $1,000.00 fireworks, a propane ball launcher, 10 gallons of gas.
She went down in a blaze of glory shall we say, yes we shall, SOOOOO many people helped, especially Wally from Seattle and his crack crew of pyrotechnicians, real gems, Scheff was indespensable, Mark Perez mail to:slapphappy@earthlink.com was a true hero as was Emily for the construction. It was a great spot to catch a buzz, watch Woodpussy's performance www.loop.com/~woodpussy/woodpussysite/ and to watch for the impending swarm of Huns. To the right was a great bridge supported by a 12"by12" beam, it was quite a piece of wood, when the tower had burned and had even fallen down this beam kept standing for a long time, these firemen become obsessed with knocking it down, but Mark buried it 3' underground, it wasn't going anywhere.
Isabel Rucker mailto:issabel@monkeybrains.net painted the banner as well as other fine backdrops for that show.
Let me explain Butchertown, everyone always asks what neighborhood we live in here in SF, well we live in BUTCHERTOWN, at least thats what it was called 100 years ago when our cove at the back of the building was used as a runoff for slaughterhouses.
