On the Job: Day 42, 8-11

Wow, lots going on today. Finding something to work on is almost becoming hard to do we are so close to being done. Micah and I did a happy dance today when we peeled almost the last bit of tape away from our final shape in the Doom Box. We need to touch up one more shape and the entire box will be finalized and peeling-free! Hopefully I didn't just jinx it. I brought cookies in to celebrate.

The construction boys are working on removing the dance floor (the temporary floor they had held up by scaffolding that ran parallel with the 7th floor), so we were able to get our first glimpse of all four floors worth of boxes on one side of the stage. That's so unbelievably exciting!

We were featured on NBC Action News this week. They interviewed our very own Andrea "Mo" Morris, and they used a picture from our blog that I took on day 21 which was super cool to see. They even mentioned the blog, though the link they gave takes you through the school's site and you have to filter through all the other silly blogs that our school has/facilitates. Wish they gave this link since I didn't even really know that the school was posting my posts in their blog... Meh.

You can watch the NBC story below, or you can CLICK HERE. There is also another story that's up on their site that is talking about fundraising for the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts that you can watch HERE. 

Kansas City Star

We were showcased in the Kansas City Star this weekend! The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts posted the link to the story (as seen below). You can read the article by clicking here! I also took a picture of Amanda reading the actual article from the paper. Happy reading :D

NPR Story now online

You can click here to read a bit about the story and to listen to the story that aired on NPR yesterday morning (7-29-10).

I sound like a huge dork on the radio. I like that they describe Dan as having "wavy chin-length brown hair and a stubbly beard." Made my day.

On the Job: Day 34, 7-29

Pretty uneventful day. Got a second coat of the huge blue chunk up on seven that I had started yesterday. Micah and I are touching up our box again (the one with the hole after hole after hole) and that seems to be chugging along still.... Uh..... That's all really. I took tomorrow off to go home and celebrate my mom's birthday in St. Louis so I won't be documenting day 35 tomorrow, but I asked Lance to take some photos though so the day still gets documented. Our NPR story aired this morning- did anyone catch it? I'll post the link tomorrow when I find it. I think it's exciting that after our first radio interview aired we got our first votes for "read about the blog or heard about it on the net." Sweet- keep telling your friends about us and don't forget to check out the links to the other blogs our kids work on! Cheers. 

On the Job: Day 31, 7-26

The peeling paint issue that had arisen in the box Micah and I have still been working on seems to have been averted for the time being (knock-on-wood for you suspicious types). We are hoping to finish the box up tomorrow which may or may not happen, it will be a close call. I managed to make it to floor 8 today to take pictures of the glass (photos below of course), as well as a few other random things.

Tomorrow (being Tuesday) morning you should tune into NPR (89.3 for those of you in KC) and check out the story they interviewed us for. They're playing the story at 5:30a, 730a, and 930a. Wednesday the story will be up on their website KCUR.org (in the archives). I'll post a tangible link Wednesday when I find it.

Sheesh- I used a lot of parentheses today. (Hoo. Yeah. What are they good for? Absolutely nothing. (Not true, but you get my point)). Uhm..... guess that's really all I know for today.
