Little cable car comes up over the rise and settles in the cradle. The Kircheisen plateau is very pretty in the almost dark and there are paper lanterns swinging in the breeze. It’s cold of course but there are braziers and fires and wurst stands and people milling about with phones and so on about three hundred people it’s a huge draw with plenty of press. There are artworks freestanding and board walls with pictures hanging on them sheltered under little awnings and a huge space in the middle for BANJO TELEMARK’S EVENT and—yes—there is a bulldozer right there in the middle and a throne like for bad guys. I have no idea how they got it up here maybe a helicopter that is just amazing I am SO flattered. I honestly have no idea what to do with it and that is fine that is everyone else’s problem now. There is my playlist playing super-duper loud and people are dancing the very white dance of central European intelligentsia. It is somewhat like bad salsa and somewhat like a guy checking his shoes for gum. I have seen the Swiss dancing when they mean it and this is not it, but this is like a kind of exploratory thing where they make a note of who is prepared to really go for it and who is judging.

Next to the bulldozers there are steel plates from a train which I bought by accident when I was buying junk. They are heavy and enormous and I have had them stacked like playing cards and there are kids hiding and seeking underneath. This is totally safe because they are locked in place by their own vast mass. Inorite? I am the face of responsible crime. And that over there, that is some kind of bioplastic moss substrate that they use here to make helipads or something I got a bunch of it free with the bulldozer. There are a few cowbells and some door panels but not a fraction of what I paid for in a little circle.

Look at all this glorious crap in a stack man it is INSPIRING what people will do to facilitate popular art and if you also give them money.

I mean I don’t need it but it’s definitely focusing the mind and you can bet Eiger’s guys spent HOURS making sure there was no way to use it to crash the doors or whatever.

There isn’t.

But that will have made it tougher for them and in the meantime everything Doc was doing just slid on by because I was right there

waving

my

junk.

Yeah I know I’m cheap.
