| This excuse to show a fun and sparky animated gif is what it looks like when we grind off a bit of weld and otherwise soften the top back edge or our steel Roadrunner chairs as part of the clean-up process prior to finishing. Thankfully there's no sound since the rough whining rasp of the grinder gets annoying fast. But the sparks? They never get old. |

| Unless you know this skate park or this Tillman, it's impossible to say. |

| For those very few of you who've noticed: yes, we have been taking a break from the blog this summer, thank you very much. Word on the street (we're the ones who put it there) has us wickedly busy with actual work. Nonsense, all a ruse. We've been busy with the Tillmans, guinea pigs as they develop a series of "sports" for the upcoming Horsehead games, which they claim to be preparing for a pitch to the Versus network. Sort of an urban hillbilly version of the Highland games. More to come (the video of this event—Beam and High Tube—looks ridiculously painful, but it really wasn't that bad; as soon as the Tillmans give us the A.O.K we'll throw it up on Vimeo). |

 | The first in a series of photo tributes to the handsome, minimalist facades of some of the apartment buildings in the neighborhood. Here, the Spruce and the Shamrock. More to come all week. |

 | Again from the Horsehead Crating Company compound down the street, this time a testament to the complex spirituality of the global Tillman clan (they started out Catholic but have headed East and West from there). We're sure the headlessness of the headless Mary in the bird bath has no special significance (we're told it was there, as is, when they took over the property decades ago). And the spirit house? Given the freeloading nature of many of the live Tillmans we know, that place is bound to be overflowing with their dead relatives. Poolside at Camp Tillman is irresistible to those above ground and to the spirits of those below, we're confident of that. |

 | More excellent yard art from what we're calling Camp Tillman, though the Tillmans themselves are none too pleased with the name. We mean it in the best sense: it's the sort of place you wish your parents had sent you to as a kid, the sort of relatives you wish had put you up for the summer. We don't mean to imply that Horsehead Crating Company, the "business" operating on the grounds, is some sort of glorified summer camp for adults (though now that you mention it . . . ). So chill out, Clovis and Darnell, and if you don't mind pulling the cover back off the pool we're thinking a dip would break the wicked heat and mind-numbing monotony of our work on this day. See you soon, mates. |
