[Patrik D'haeseleer]

Hi Tracy!

That sounds like a very interesting background. I was joking with Jenny
last week that we have about a month left to come up with some really cool
artwork to put in the "box office" window, in time for the next First
Friday / Art Murmur.

Maybe a kinetic sculpture attached to the window with suction cups? We
could even do something triggered by changes in the light from people
walking by...
