Fiesta de la P, continued

January 25, 2011 by knittap

Here’s a great video from the concert, filmed from a helicopter hovering over the show. To anticipate your questions: Yes, we did hang with the plumber and psychologist (characters from this great Personal ad). Yes, we do think the Argentine hipster guy in the billboard ad at 0:25 seconds is awesome, although a little creepy. And no, unfortunately MGMT did not play “It’s Raining Men.” That was dubbed in. Enjoy! Also: a few more notes from our trip…

Personal Knitted Letter P

Fiesta de la P

January 23, 2011 by knittap

Luckily, we had a crew of men transfer the P to the beach on a truck, under a tarp. We finished the installation just as MGMT was doing their soundcheck, so we had our own private concert before the madness of 40,000 people flocked to the beach later that day.

Installing “la P” – part one

January 20, 2011 by knittap

We came with two suitcases packed with pre-knit material (thanks Patricia!). In retrospect, we’re lucky we got through customs: “No, sir, really. We’re not trying to sell hundreds of 10-ft long scarves in your country. We’re making a big P!” Hmmm… sounds plausible to us.

Bienvenidos Argentina

January 19, 2011 by knittap

This week we’re taking the show on the road to Mar del Plata, Argentina, a beach escape to the south of Buenos Aires where it feels like Southern California, but with the seasons swapped. (Yes, the toilet does swirl the other way, and so does the bidet…)
