Because frankly I was thinking of just slacking off. After all, people all over the world are already protesting today, and I could use a little R&R. But your comment stuck in my head, and when I hit LA and saw my favorite “sealed” overpass standing silent, I could not in good conscience let it remain thus. Who, after all, knew better how to take advantage of this incredible resource if not me?
I checked into a motel, broke out the projector and had this traced and painted in about half an hour. Twenty minutes later it was up. So this one’s for you, RationalinSouthCarolina. You and the other sixty or seventy thousand people heading east on the Santa Monica Freeway before the the sun goes down and then God-knows-how-many-more tomorrow. Tonight I’ll paint up some more signs and tomorrow I’ll post them on freeways around LA. I just wanted to make sure you saw this one and knew that I said “thanks.”
In case you missed it, here’s the song that goes with the message.
