The experiment is blowing up all over the internet.  People have been following the live GPS map and tracking us down.  But this weekend we’re on the hunt for all of the people who found the chairs.

Our upcoming documentary about the project will premiere at the BluDot anniversary party and be featured on their website in December…

Real Good : Day 1

November 4th, 2009

Today we dropped 5 BluDot chairs on 5 different NYC street corners each installed with a covert GPS tracking device.  We’re making a film with mono about who takes the chairs & where they end up.

Serious missions call for serious lenses.

This is what they look like.

You can watch the chairs progress updates on this live GPS map, and follow them on Twitter & Flickr.

We’re dropping 5 more tomorrow.

Starting tomorrow we’re teaming up with Mono again and dropping 10 of these BluDot “Real Good” chairs around NYC (with secret GPS tracking devices installed by our friends over at  Tellart) to see where they end up.  You can watch the chairs’ progress on a live map!  We’re going to wait a couple of days and interview the people who pick the chairs up, see what they think about the whole thing.

Make a Wish

October 13th, 2009

My grandfather had the weekend of his life.  We went to Washington DC.  The 3rd US Infantry, AKA The Old Guard, honored Grandpa’s service in WWII by asking him to lay a ceremonial wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier…in honor of those who fell at The Battle of the Bulge (the bloodiest battle of the war).
Every soldier we met saluted him and thanked him for his service, saying that Marvin is part of the “greatest generation” and that
if it wasn’t for them, we’d all be speaking German.

His escort was 2 star general, Robert Scales.  General Scales won a Silver Star in Nam for his bravery in the battle at Hamburger Hill.  His character in the movie Hamburger Hill is called Cold Steel.  Scales lost his entire unit in one day and still feels guilty.

We spent the whole weekend with the General and his wife.  He took us a to a restaurant called “America”.
