Behind the scenes video by Helen. This happened to be the day that Helen and Josh dressed exactly alike.

A few months back, this place some houses up Kracke street, took a scolding hot flame bath. It was the work of Mr Arson for sure. Josh and Helen saw it, and FELT IT, from the comfort of the Fuzzco piazza. The next morning, a frenzy of flies could be seen feasting on the nutrient rich/water soaked sooty soot. Months passed and nothing happened until just recently, a demo crew was paid an exorbitant amount of dollar bills to make the house disappear. This consisted of two men, one in control of a giant mechanical spork made by Volvo and the other standing with hazard cones. I am pretty sure this fellow was in control of the other fellow. We watched the smooth operators work from the comfort of our office moccasins. A memorable part for me, came when the spork tore into an upstairs bedroom and out popped a torrential downpour of teddy bears. Take a close look at the 4th picture down. You can just make out a Winnie, the Pooh, The bear. Before long the house was reduced to a pile of rubble and teddy bears. For the next few days, on top of everything, the triumphant Volvo danced a victory dance. Now, it is nothing but an empty lot with a large dirty utensil.

This video is not boring at all! and somehow it makes us want to bathe in cheese.

Immediate applications (besides the cubicle wall application suggested in the video) that I like are GLASSES, WINDSHIELDS, STOREFRONTS, CUPS, um, great. Yeah, wow.

Helen is proud to announce that she’s been inducted to the Redux board where she’ll get to contribute to the thinking and decision making that goes on at this great organization. If you haven’t been to Redux in a while, you might have missed some recent developments.  The classroom and print shop have been renovated to better accommodate outreach programs, film screenings, lecture series and music events.  Take a look at the current class offerings here.  More on this as it develops!

The heaters of Fuzzco.

Heater 1: Sometimes this one makes the power go out.

Heater 2: This heater is great- it makes the room pop tart toasty in 5 minutes. You can get them at the hardware store on Easy Bay Street by the vegetable bin.  (We’ll be there this week to get ours- this one is on loan from Bob Hines- thanks Bob!)

See this one in action.

We concepted, videographized and composed audio for this splinter-free project.

I’m sure you’ve been already, right? If not, you should go to Hope and Union Coffee on Saint Philip Street- possibly the best cup of coffee we’ve ever had.  Owners John and Harper Poe of Proud Mary are the nicest.
