The joys of knowing people who aren't into the same kind of weird stuff as oneself, eh? Glad you liked the photos too - they were a sod to try and frame properly, because Marsyas is so keffing huge. I wanted to convey some aspect of that size, but it really is something that has to be seen to be believed. Being a bit of a people watcher, I loved watching the people coming in to the Turbine Hall, and just seeing the look on their faces when they realised how big the piece is. I'm sure the words "Fucking Hell..." were uttered more times than anywhere outside a dodgy C4 drama about inner cities in the North.

I'm going to draw people's attention to them in the blog, because this comments box is getting a little old now. You mentioned Sky Mirror. It's nice, but not awe-inspiring. If you went to Nottingham with the sole purpose of seeing it, you might be disappointed. However, there are plenty of other things there to keep you busy and it's well worth seeking out in the context of the city centre as a whole. Great pictures, Lyle.

There's a few more photos on my own site, hanging around the <a href="http://www.destruction-for-dummies.co.uk/shots/marsyas.html" rel="nofollow">URL for photos</a>. It's a mind-boggling thing - but I'd love to have heard the music coming through the entire piece - I think that must be stunning.

Just gave notice at the job I hate though so hopefully life will be better soon. I will let you know when we finalize plans. We were supposed to visit my family in L.A. in April, but Gav is geared up to see the Bond exhibit at the London Science Museum. It ends April 27th so we really want to come there instead, then go to L.A. in summer. But the 'war thing' might get in the way. Plus we're all so busy putting up the duct tape and plastic... have y'all heard about that in other parts of the world? Our government announced that we're supposed to protect ourselves from chemical warfare by covering our windows and doors with plastic sheeting and duct tape. Brilliant policy by the Bush brain trust, don't you think? I know I feel safe and secure now.... Stuart,
