Denver Sculpture Part2.
We revisit the sculpture we built as BambooDNA at the MileHigh Music Festival earlier this summer in this blog post part1. Brief recap: we unloaded the prefabricated columns and erected them by hand using pulleys and rigging ingenuity.
Next up: the big guns! We had an ENORMOUS crane help us erect the center column. Yah, it was a little overkill to use a $1.3million 135ton crane (270,000lbs) with a 266ft maximum extension to erect a 700lb spire but thats how we fly- in style. And it looked cool to top it off!
The column nested into a steel ring in the center and the riggers tied it off to the structure with guy wires. The heroic Kevin Rowell then climbed the spire and released the crane.
Next we put up the bright red sails. They are made of spandex like material and are very flexible. We tie them on with a secret technique involving small rocks wrapped in fluorescent tape.
Wala! We have TENSEGRITY (structures with an integrity based on a synergy between balanced tension and compression components). Nerdy yes and cool yes.
This was a great build. Our fearless leader Gerard Minakawa has our operation running at full efficiency. We knocked it out with no problem and had time to go rafting, jump off 40 ft cliffs, run down glaciers barefooted, and even hit the casino!
We’ll end with me pretending to work 
having too much fun with a bamboo hatchet.

http://www.nflnhljerseysshop.com/ People can only live once! This is often forgotten common sense. Since you only live once, you should pay attention to point “living law.” Why live too tired, to torture their own it?
