Time is really counting down on the opening day! Today Caroline and I met up at Eyebeam in the early afternoon. She ran some errands and I ran one too. She was getting things that cafe's usually have like menu holders and such. I, on the hunt for tennis balls. I really didn't know where to begin but since I got to go to Chinatown the other day I figured it would be nice to shop around on the south end of Broadway. I am really on the search for a good suit and have been checking out a few places to see what they have. The weather today seemed rather warm and I was sweating walking around looking for tennis balls but finally found a store downtown that had them! After that I was on my way to Eyebeam.
When I arrived, Caroline briefed me on what was up today, more edits and finalization on things for the cafe and that tomorrow is install day and figuring out where everything goes! I got to use the laser cutter a lot and its seriously one of the coolest machines I have ever been able to operate! We are making signs that are being engraved from the machine! They look really sweet and I will have some pictures up later of what they look like, maybe tomorrow.
Tomorrow the Flagler College Alumni are coming to take photos of me and the process in New York. We will see how that goes. It should be fun and exciting! I am also going to meet up with Luis again and Gabby who are Flagler graduates in graphic design! Awesome and incredible things are happening in my life and I hope they continue to come. This entire experience, just from the almost two weeks I have been here have been more than I ever thought! This is going to be awesome.
P.S. Caroline and I are brainstorming some things to potentially come to Flagler and put something in the Crisp-Ellert! We are still in the planning stages and talking it all out with who we need to, but maybe I will see you again sooner rather than later St. Augustine.
