“Pisces” by artist Jason Hackenwerth is a 40-foot-tall double helix made of 10,000 balloons. Commissioned by the Edinburgh International Science Festival, the sculpture took Hackenwerth and his team six days to construct. It is on display at the National Museum of Scotland through April 14, 2013. There are many more photos of the sculpture on Flickr. Hackenwerth has more of his balloon sculptures on his site.

Sadly i did not take one single photo on the first leg of my dec travels but I did listen to like a ca-zillion podcasts dealing with:(in no particular order) hallucinations, paul thomas anderson’s “the master”, autoimmune diseases, hysteria in women, kelly mcdonald on boardwalk empire, steve martin, the civil war, sam mendes on “skyfall”, orphans, dakota indians and many many more.

Decided to turn my LOVE of Big Bird into my costume this year.
I started planning this costume about a year ago and was certainly peeved to hear Romney talking smack about my love. Certainly there will be other big bird costumes out there this year but I have to say mine if pretty sweet and well worth all the hot glue burns.
