CALABAMA in California
We have been back in Oakland just a week; already our York adventure is blurred by memory and distance. We are processing all of the data we have collected and sorting through our myriad experiences.
Several friends excitedly told us, “Hey! We saw your banner hanging over the 580 freeway near University Avenue!” We received this information with blank and dumbstruck stares: “What banner?” “Well, it’s been there for about a week or two and it says “CAlabama in big black letters. Didn’t you put it up there?”
Had we heard this from only one person, we might have passed it off as some kind of hoax. But since the story multiplied, we had to go and check out the situation ourselves.
Sure enough, hanging on the pedestrian bridge is a large handmade banner that proclaims our project name—and also a special event. Apparently, CALabama (slightly different spelling) is the name of a music fest that took place at the Uptown Bar in downtown Oakland. We’re investigating the origins of their name…
Go CAlabama, go!
