Designed Obselesence wins an award!

TOIstudio recived it's first award in an open competition. That is nice. It was for submission to the Lifecycle Building Challenge in which I attempted to reuse some of the Breuer Tower instead of just tossing it out.

I am still highly interested in getting my hands on some of those panels for my studio or maybe to build a small cottage on a farm out east.

There is a People's Choice Awards type thing where I think the winner gets a hug or something. You can vote for it
here.

Then send an email to
peopleschoice@lifecyclebuilding.org with the entry number in subject line, name of entry in subject line and a brief reason why it is your favorite entry (not in subject line).

Possible reasons could be because I am so darned lovable or because I ate all my vegetables once.

Music Saves 3X Birthday Bash

I cannot believe it has already been 3 years since the moving of Mel and Kevin to their new digs and the realization of a million life long dreams that resulted in the fabulous Music Saves Record Store and Kool Kid Hangout. Oh, it was a balmy day, the farm truck Betsy (rest her soul) was purring like an asthmatic kitten and those display cases were so gawd-awful heavy! Still, it was all worth it to have a place like Music Saves in and about our fair town. Coupled with the Collinwood area (seems to be BOOMIN'!) Cleveland's east side has never seemed so, well, fun!

Anyways, go and help them celebrate. The party begins with an amazing show tonight at the Beachland Ballroom (I love me some Laura Viers) and culminates with a Beachland Tavern (early free show) and in-store extravaganza on Saturday!

So, if you happen to be around about there go check out
Suzi's show, intriguingly entitled 'eco art'.

Breuer Tower Exhibition opening

Thursday, July 19th
Former Oberlin Gallery
1305 Euclid Ave
(corner of 13th and Euclid)
5.00pm

The unveiling of the submissions for the infamous
What Would you do with the Breuer Building will occur this Thursday at 5.00pm. There were more then 28 entries in the juried portion (I wonder what portion went 'unjuried'?) 'from local, national and even international architects and architectural firms'.

Also included in the show will be the six presentations that we given to the county commissioners, including boards from the 'winning' proposal.

There are also promised to be some 'surprise exhibits'.

Sounds like a fun time for sure!
