We decorated the trucks

Well, last we week we finally thought we knew where we were going for our piece in the FUSE festival, working with Periplum in the 1000 revolutions a minute project. We knew we had to decorate the trucks in any way we wanted as long as it had the theme of 'Top Secret'. This could include anything we wanted; Mafia basement, warehouse, columbian drug den ect ect what was also said was a '12 Monkeys' kind of scene. We believed this would be best seen as my dad could print us alot of plans and drawings ect to represent that. So I asked father dearest and he infact obliged delivering £230 worth of prints. We were very pleased. Now all we needed was some newspaper cut outs and scribble red pen all over pictures of mugshots, arial views, maps, cctv footage and other such pictures to create a wall full of links and traces for some kind of top secret plan.

We stuck up the the prints of buildings with blutac. Very difficult because the air inside blows it out, makes it very messy and corners keep peeling off. Annoying! We went ahead and made it look rather MI5 ish and it looked pretty good. But earlier in the day they showed us the act that would be going in there instead of, what should have been, the band and it did not fit at all with what we had planned.
The back of the van has like a shelf area, which is the DJ booth, which we have to decorate by tomorrow evening with what? A disco ball? Lights? Maybe use a car battery?

Disco ball and lights lit by AA's it is.
