Dreamspace investigation...
Jul. 25th, 2006 11:27 amI've just read (in The Sun, so consider the reliability of the source, but anyway) that the police are investigating the possibility that the guyropes were cut by vandals. First reaction is that this would be easy to check - look for cut ropes - which makes me think that maybe they've already found cut ropes, and now they're trying to figure out whether it was done as part of the rescue operation or not. Apparently the exhibit itself was sliced up at a previous location.
The London appearance has been confirmed cancelled, so there goes the birthday plan. Does anybody have any thoughts on what else might be fun to do? I'm completely lacking in ideas.

Still a horrific thing to cause though, and whilst I can't really understand vandalism itself, I utterly fail to understand how somebody could cut even one rope and not imagine the consequences.

In all seriousness though, I'm sorry your birthday plans have disintegrated a little bit, but I'm sure a cool alternative will turn up.
In the mean time, please keep on doing the Dreamscape updates - you're a good source of information!
