The Wall


With tribute to Roger Waters & David Gilmour:
Hey you, standing in the road
always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.


The artwork Brian painted on the door reminds me of the the screaming face from The Wall's album artwork. I don't think it was intentional 'cause I never mentioned Pink Floyd during the painting session. Weird.

Anyway, it's complete and I think very cool (or as David's 12 year old daughter said "beast"). I hope the rest of the city thinks so too.

Hey Barry, just discovered this page today. Found one for the bar that's apparently going to be on the ground floor(?) and send them a similar letter as well...

" just came across your bar's site tonight and was happy to see that it seems good people have taken it upon themselves to bring that magical building back to life! Though I wasn't in the crowd much in its previous incarnation, I did kinda' consider that my home turf for shooting, ha, I mean did you see the 4th floor lounge before they closed? That place screamed to have photoshoots, and I'd even hosted a couple photo shootout events there with multiple models and photographers coming in from all across the state and beyond! (I've got a couple albums over on my myspace that's dedicated just to the club and one for the shootouts, please swing by when you have a moment: www.myspace.com/bohemiannoir)."

Once you get everything completed I would love to come in to do a photographic 'tour' of your new home! Please let me know if you'd be interested!!

Barry, you and your crew are an inspiration. I love that the idea was fostered, and carried on with the involvement of the community!! Keep documenting the journey - I love being able to watch and feel a part of the transformation you are bringing about. This post gave me goose bumps.
