HI-5
New York: The Big City, The Big Apple, The City of the World, The City that Never Sleeps, The City of Dreams.
I’d like to suggest a another new nickname: “The City of Scaffolding”
The stuff is everywhere in New York. It’s almost a permanent feature. I like to imagine that there is a set amount of scaffolding alive in the city, and even when it is cut back after months of colonization, new stuff sprouts up somewhere else- and the balance is maintained.
I’ve been trying to think of good ways to take advantage of all this scaffolding, and here is one thing I came up with. I don’t know about you, but when scaffolding seems maybe out of reach, I try to jump up and touch it- just to see if I can… or to see if my friends walking with me can’t! I expand on that instinct here, with the HI-5!
Its use is being demonstrated by Mr. Jason Eppink- AND HEY, did you know that Jason, Jordan Seiler, Specter and myself will be giving a talk TONIGHT?
IT’s TRUE! You should check it out: all the deets are here.

Sweet idea PC, is there any way someone from over here in the uk will be able to see the show or participate in any way?
Out of interest haha.

If I saw this I would probably walk by it every day. I always love a solid high five in the morning, and that looks like one of the best kinds.

Also, why do i swear I’ve seen a girl dressed the same way in one of your photos before?!

It bears mentioning that these signs already exist; you just have to wait for the Walk signal.
