A pity. Sarah, the panels, especially on the roof, will be quick to dry, as they have more sun exposure. Winter road kill on the other hand won't smell near as nice. Interesting that you're worried about the smell of wet fabric. What's the point of music? It doesn't last. It ties up buildings that could be used for other things, and band shells with vast lawns that could be used for grazing or other agriculture or sport. How is this different? Some music is not to my taste. Should it be stopped or banned outright? What's the point of a botanical garden, especially with ginormous plants that smell of carrion when in bloom? How much was spent to transport and nurture that plant that will last only a few weeks, and that few weeks is painful to endure?

What's the point? Just because its now covered with blankets doesn't make it any better. How long are they going to be there? Can you imagine, in a few months, after a few rains, how terrible that's going to smell, especially the ones on the roof? I agree with david. What’s the point?

It's a very cool idea and it was fun to participate in. I'm glad I wasn't the one doing all the connecting and stuff, having done plenty of that for the BraBall. One enormous fiber sculpture per lifetime is plenty! Hi Marlow,
