3D TILT sign
by Eli
for a few months now i’ve been noticing this sign off 5 South near the exit for 90 East. just about everytime i drive to the airport i see that sign, and i point it out to whoever’s in the car with me. sometimes, if i’m by myself, i get in the right lane and slow way down so i can get a really good look at it. it’s probably coolest street sign i’ve ever seen.
last weekend brandon and i arranged to hangout, and we agreed that we’d both try to come up with something new, something that we’d never done before. this was my idea and brandon was downs.
first, we did a few internet searches to see if someone had already done leg work for us. we checked google, google images, and flickr, but nothing came up. it was time to act.
we left the hotbox and went south on 5 until we pinpointed exactly where it was and then turned off. we went back and forth a few times trying to figure out exactly where the best shooting location was. the whole process took about an hour (with a stop at Uwajimaya in between), but it was totally worth it.
have you ever seen a TILT sign like that?
after all the excitment of taking a picture of a street sign, we needed a cool down, so we stopped by Freeway Park. brandon had heard rumors of this park before but never been there. again, we just drove around for about 15 minutes until we found it. it was pretty cool.
dude!! i always noticed it too and wanted to steal it. its so fucking awesome.. like a car would actually tip THAT much… or maybe it would.
eli… i miss you lots. im having the most amazing time in europe. im learning so much about myself and the things that i want to do with my life. and being in granada is insane. i signed a lease yesterday in spanish and i could actually communicate with my landlords wife when she was interrogating me about stuff with the apartment. i didnt know i could actually do it and i did!! im SO fucking excited for you and mere. you guys are about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime and to be honest i just cannot wait until i can do it too!!
i am meeting the most amazing people and its so awesome because everyone just drops the shit and you get to know people on a lever that you never thought possible. you feel like you´ve known everyone you meet forever and you form really close bonds in a really short amount of time and then you have to say goodbye. but now that im in granada i can make friends and keep them for a month or so.. haha.
i love you so much and im glad i got to say hi to you the other night. give my love to everyone and please go loev urch before you leave. ALL my love.
ciao, hanbanhanscan.
totally. that happened to me to in spain when we had to find a room for a few nights. i was totally got us a room for a good price and it all just came out of me.
antartica still doesn’t seem real to me yet.
i just experienced that intense friendship thing at the homestead in oregon. all the people were super cool and really nice and i couldn’t stop crying when i left. i’d say that the same exact thing will happen in antarctica but to a much greater extent.
loves!
before i left nintendo i got really high before work one morning and as i was driving missed the 51st st exit. guess what was all over the very next exit, tons of these tilty signs. also, whats up with hard to find pictures online? i tried to get a full picture shot of Vigo from Ghostbusters 2 the other day and all i could find was pics from the neck up. thats bullshit, the whole painting is awesome. “Death is but a door, time is but a window. I’ll be back.”
