Site is finally updated

Hi,

Thanks to Derek and Lauren at The Curiosity Guild for tallying up the sweaters received in 2006! Now the sweater count is up to date, and so is the Runway! Check there to make sure your name is listed if you sent in sweaters Aug-1-2006 or earlier.

Looks like we are below the count, so please continue to send in sweaters! You can still send them to me, and I will direct them to the current location of the sweaters until their tour is over.

Derek and Lauren have worked out the details for the new installation - the project has a new life, new coordinators, and a new space. It is now called "The Red Sweaters Deployment Project". They will be on display at The Hardware Store Gallery in SF for a couple months (thanks to Doug and Sheri for the space!!), then The Curiosity Guild will try to find a new home for the sweaters, and each person who takes in the sweaters will then be responsibile for tallying the sweaters and finding the project's next new home - until there is no more need for sweaters or for this project.

This is a pretty exciting new development for the Red Sweaters!
I hope you will continue to participate, and keep up with the news!

Red Sweaters hit the road

Today I'm taking the Red Sweaters to their new temporary home at The Curiosity Guild in San Francisco.

We haven't worked out all the details yet, but it sounds like the sweaters will be on display for about a month. I'm not sure if they will also take over management of the website or maybe of parts of the website. We'll try to work out those types of details in the next week or two.

I am giving them all of the sweaters and letters I have received so far. That includes any sweaters received in 2006 - all of which are still neatly tucked into their envelopes and boxes, and all enclosed letters yet unread. I want to let you know that those letters will be read by the people at The Curiosity Guild.

I'll post more details once we figure them out.
