    as a break from studio a few of us have been taking field trips to observe the demolition of the old convention center, which is right down the street from our building. While it is a bit sad to watch them tear it down, the process has been pretty amazing to see. One of my studiomates has been tracking the progress and took this picture yesterday. Seeing the building with a mess of cables dangling and collapsed trusses is somehow grotesque and beautiful. if only i could figure out a way to hijack some of the crew's equipment...
