Hi gang --

Hurrah -- it's great to see email flying about this!

Let's try to find a common time to meet at the space to talk about it and see what I have done so far (even if that's just eviscerating a helpless toaster...).

How about this Friday evening at the space, around 7 pm?

 So my
 understanding is that we wanted to make swappable molds of a
 couple of masks (actually, that the system would stay in the
 space to be used by anyone who feels like making molds for
 anything, not just masks).
 
 
 
 It was suggested that we do this at the Dia De Los
 Muertos celebration in the E St. Plaza that the DDBA is
 holding on Halloween.  We also have the opportunity to run
 something for "Artober" although I don't know
 which dates are still available.
 
 
 
 Ultimately it would be nice to have the machine
 available at the space - and this is a fire under our feet
 to get it done!  I hadn't committed to the Dia De Los
 Muertos event yet, but if there is sufficient interest here,
 and it sounds like there is, maybe I will do that if nobody
 objects.

 I just finished another mask and
 would be up for doing yet another for this project.  Would
 we have the ability to have multiple molds to swap in an
 out? If so it would be cool to have a few people
 contributing mask designs.
 
 
  
 Also what is the timeline for this?   I have
 lots going on next month.  If we are shooting for
 Halloween, that would be doable for me, but I vaugely
 remember something about earlier October on this (which
 would be harder for me to do).  Plus I'm guessing there
 would need to be some time to get the mold prepared from
 the original piece.

 Nice.
 
 I'm going to try reaching out to the newly forming Third
 Space Art Collective to see if there is any interest in this
 project from their members.
