Made most of my structure frames with the help of @lancelancelot and @jbneat studio last night. Without them I would be...sad. With them it's all good. #lmcc_nyc

My friend @magdalen.w helped me load the sound structure onto the boat today. This weekend has been a supportive warming weekend. #lmcc_nyc
