Iron Heart Coaster - World Tour 2010-2012

[Beatle]

Kat - if I was a motivation - it sure paid off…great concert

[madmonday]

Katsushin, you have been cemented in history as the "coaster toaster"

great leg.

looking forward to beats in Japan & then closeout with Landocal . . . unless of course, this tour expands. . .

Put it this way:
Lets see someone else make the coaster grow…
Kats leg cannot be topped

[Katsushin]

Well it's my last day with these little guys.
I have to admit, I got a little attached, but I do have coasters of my own so I suppose it's time to show them a little love.
(It's been like having exchange students, and finding them much more interesting and exotic than your own kids…)

Anyways...
My studio is a block away from Humboldt State University.

They have an amazing enviormental sciences program and botany and biology and all that other sciency hippy stuff.
A great benifit of that is their amazing greenhouse that is open to the public during the week.
Decided to take these guys on a little field trip before their big journey overseas...

Then it was bath time before being sent off to auntie Beatle…

It was a perfect day for a line dry…

Then I realized I had to leave, but they weren't quite dry.  I was hoping to get them in the mail today, and I didn't want to send them wet, so I devised this "brilliant" method for a speed dry…

And here they are at full speed…

And here I am pulled over on the side of the road hunting for the one that flew off at 50mph…

(No worries though…it took a while but I did find it on the side of the road a few hundred yards back)

Off to the post office tomorrow and the adventure continues......

Oh yeah, love the ghost arc.  And love your leg of the tour, Kat.  Sad to see it ending.

[Beatle]

[elclintor]

It was meant to be.  Little drama makes it more interesting…

Beats is very busy taking photos, I am caretaking the coasters for a day or two.  Here's the coasters joining us at dinner last night (was messy in every way):

The little Iron Heart coasters returned to the place of their creation "The Works" in Hachioji yesterday.
