It has come to my attention that there are a lot of people who are currently playing their music at the detriment of others. Many of us in our “digital age” have sub-woofers and “sound systems” but we must also understand that our sounds can be disturbing to neighbors as well.

I personally knock and ask people politely to turn down their music, but when does it become a “nuisance?” I have personally knocked on peoples doors over 15+ times, and yet, they STILL turn their music on so my walls vibrate – so what does one do?

On some occasions I have had to ask residents DAILY to keep their music down, other times I have literally had to drag a person into the hallway to have them hear the ruckus they were causing. I honestly feel that video cameras and proper documentation are crucial as evidence.

I just wanted to remind people that living in a loft/Arts district doesn’t give you carte-blanch to “ignore your manners,” or “social responsibilities” and behave like a “College Student”.

RULE OF THUMB: IF YOU CAN HEAR IT IN THE HALLWAY ITS WAY TOO LOUD “.”
This is a community, let’s treat each other with mutual respect and dignity. We all share this space, so we all should respect it equally. We already have construction noise issues, let’s not torment ourselves unnecessarily either.

Cheers!

P.s.: Please don’t make other residents have to ask you to turn it down, no one should have to be reminded repeatedly…self policing is the best policy.

Come out and experience the Dangerous Curve art event titled Because I Can’t Be Beethoven. The performance, which takes place from approximately 7:00 to 10:00p.m., will consist of the destruction of a piano, which is initially trapped in a monolithic block of ice. The artist, Parris Patton, will use hand tools, hammers and hatchets, to expose the piano. When the instrument is sufficiently exposed it will be set on fire for a short period of time as the climax of the event.

*The event is Free and open to anyone. Food is being provided by a commercial vendor with a barbeque trailer.

Timeline:
Noon to 3:00 – Ice block arrives on flatbed, unloaded by crane. outer box removed, scenario set up including a few fake trees, lights, sound system. Barbeque arrives and sets up.

3:00 to 7:00 – Photography, ice block admiration time, Beethoven music played over sound system, eating and hanging out.

7:00 to 10:00 – Destruction of ice block by Parris, documentation video taping and photograhy, more Beethoven music via sound system. At climax, near 10:00 p.m. fire set and extinguished.

10:00 – Music off, performance over.

10:00 to midnight: Only crew remains for quiet clean up midnight – Everyone goes home

We anticipate some clean up may continue Sunday in order to minimize late night activity.

Please join us for this day-long party. It promises to be a memorable Arts District event. You will want to be able to say “I was there.” If it isn’t your cup of tea we thank you for your patience.

Resident ‘Event Day’ Info:
They will be conducting a street closure on Fourth Place between Mateo and Molino Streets on March 24, 2007 for the purpose of event safety. The street closure would, officially, be from noon to midnight on that date. They don’t expect the street to be actually closed for the entire period, but want the option to close it as needed, for delivery of artwork and the actual event as outlined in the timeline below. The relevant law requires a twenty foot wide fire lane to remain clear at all times during the closure, so necessary passage by resident vehicles should be easy to manage as need be. Mr. Patton is hiring a registered pyrotechnician for this phase of the performance. The technician will acquire all necessary permits for the event and has assured us that the fire will not produce noxious odors or very much smoke. We expect it will smell like a fireplace fire. As part of the requirements for the street closure Mr Patton is securing all necessary insurance. All trash will be policed by our crew and the street left cleaner than normal after the event.

Thanks for the tip Tim!

I mean seriously? There was a line 5 cars long on the North end, trying to pass with the construction equipment and Gradall lifts moving Drywall all about.

IMHO – This is madness…and completely unsafe, did I mention not permit worthy in it’s execution either. Ughhhhh, I hope we are getting paid as a Community for this filming.
