Looks good. All they need now are a couple of characters from the Triadic ballet posing on the steps in front.
Well, the kids had their picnic stuff ready to go, but it looks like the weather is not going to cooperate–it's pouring down rain and doesn't look like it will stop anytime soon!
Any chance they will do this another time?
It was a great event. The rain stopped. We had a nice sense of community around Crown Hall. Many people stayed until nearly midnight. Sorry you couldn't make it Jeff, yes, the weather during the day was not cooperating. I bet you they'll do it again. And I shall post on it, with photos and maybe even videos. All best regards,
