Project Sears

The evening of 24th September, 2008; my last evening in the US. I was working late that day, getting all my documents in order so that there wouldn't be any problems during my return journey. But before I left, I had to complete my experiment, the one I called Project Sears; and go and catch that elusive sunrise :)

I left work at around 9 pm and drove to Fedex Kinko's at the intersection of Butterfield and Peterson. Luckily it was open and I was able to buy 4 large sheets of chart paper. Then I went back to the hotel and borrowed some cello-tape from the hotel reception, and got to work. First I had to stick the 4 large sheets together to form the base. Then one-by-one I had stick all the color print-outs in the right order to bring my Sears Tower to life!!

It was back-breaking and time-consuming work and by the time I was done, it was 3 am. I took my finished masterpiece to the hotel reception and asked the guy to click a few snaps.

Then I bid goodbye to him because that would be the last time I would be meeting the friendly man. I took the large poster out and kept it in the boot of my car, so that it doesn't get damaged.

<- Sears in the boot!

I finally hit the sack at around 3.30 am only to be rudely awoken by the alarm merely 2 hours later...
