Feb 14, 2005 Yellowknife, NT - Heartbreak Hotel

Today marks another landmark event, as PLYWOODMAN and his apprentice headed up the hill in the borrowed super sonic PLYMOBILE this morning with their new "HEARTBREAK HOTEL". They arrived at the court house at 7 a.m., and erected their hotel. PLYWOODMAN was first accosted by an angry city employee who threatened to "ram right through it" if he did not move his display. PLYWOODMAN began to do his best, but was not fast enough for the speeding "Cat" scraping the sidewalk. This crazy guy actually headed straight for it, so PLYWOODMAN stood in his way. This caused this man some grief so he called it in. With the strength of a thousand sheets of plywood, P.M. managed to clear the road. He was quick to finish his work and the hotel took it's place in the center of the sidewalk.

The staff were greeted by P.M., with: "Welcome to the heartbreak hotel, where families are destroyed and the suicide rate is climbing".

Responses ranged from "F**k You, you idiot" to "your absolutely right!"

By 8:30 am, most of the staff had arrived so the super sonic PLYMOBILE was programed for the Legislative Assembly. We all arrived at 8:40, and the hotel stayed all day. PLYWOODMAN returned at 2:45 pm. with his demolition order.

A member of the security staff helped us tear down, and asked "how much did this cost?" P.M. was quick to respond "it cost me my life, and my children!"

A correspondence expert representing an MLA came out to shake PLYWOODMAN's hand, stating "Good job"

PLYWOODMAN responded with "see you next month, I'm building a sugar shack for Caribou Carnival"

Messages sent today are

Special thanks to P.M.'s apprentice, for finding a PLYMOBILE and helping with the hotel. Further thanks to the "New guy in town" for supplying the pix on a very cold morning. Honourable mention to secret agent "Greenpeace" for helping frame the hotel. It rocked.
