|Grand| Elastic City |Opening|

We had a hot and sweaty weekend launching Elastic City from the Brooklyn Flea. Joining in on the celebration were a bunch of Elastic City artists, friends, family, volunteers and Emerson, our cairn terrier resident mascot.

The installation was a success, thanks to Juan Betancurth and Riley Hooker, who designed and constructed our magnetic Elastic City bulletin board. The bulletin board, playing off of the school motif, changed throughout the day, as we used words from passersby and integrated it with our Elastic City logo. Our table was staffed by artist Amanda Winograd and actor/activist Zachary Wager Scholl, who fielded questions from an eager public and signed up walkers for the free Flea Walks.

The Flea Walks went over wonderfully-- the later walks were over-capacity (we don't like to wake up early either) and they were filled with both friends and newcomers.

And so now the fun begins! We've a few walks coming up in the next few weeks that you should know about. Stay tuned for more info throughout the week and check the WALKS page for our calendar.
