Default Attention - MGB Sign Shooters (heehee)

Thanks to EroticA, there is a new name for some of ya' LOL

Okay...here's the deal. The hi-rise install that I was talking about in St. Pete is happening this week. Here's the details:

First Bank
111 2nd Ave NE
Downtown St. Pete.

Install will begin Wednesday morning probably around 10-11am since we have to take the letters up the elevator. Install will continue Thursday (weather pending) and hopefully finishing up on Friday.

Day, night, during installation shots are all welcomed. As I said in my other thread, this is strictly pro bono. For those of you that don't know what that means....well free. If your shots are used on the website, recognition will be awarded, obviously. Not taking credit for your shots. Links will be added also.

There is a chance that some shots will be purchased (like I did with Chris's) so I can frame them and put them in the office. Have to see on that though.

**Fair warning** These letters are a lot like the Sykes building. The illumination sucks. They are blue letters with halo lighting (lighting comes from the back) so be prepared to cuss them out when trying to get a good shot We only install them, don't build them so you can't yell at me for that.

Ask any questions......

I may go out there and take some pics. When do you expect the lights to be on? Friday night?

We have three sets of letters to install. North, east and south elevations. A set of letters each day. They better light before they leave that day If not then I'll be pretty ticked at them.

I'm hoping by Friday night, all three sets will be lighting.

HA HA I'm lucky I can pin down the date of the installation and I make the damn schedule. I will know more on Wednesday since I'm going down to make sure they're doing a good job

**A LITTLE UPDATE**

We have just found out that the "logo" will be hoisted up the side of the building.

God, I hate the sign business.

The first set of letters went up last night, well yesterday. We will be there again today, Matt and I are headed there about noon.

I'm starting to sing rain, rain, go away LOL

This is what you're looking for.



This was taken by one of the installers....see how it's really not frame or website worthy

I work on 1st Ave and 3rd Street in Downtown St.Pete

I'd be glad to stop by and snap a few for you.

Matt is meeting me at the office about 11:30 or so. Headed down, getting lunch on the way.

We should be hovering around there about 12:30 or so. If you want, shoot me a PM and I'll give you either mine or Matt's phone and we can meet up. Unless you might already have Matt's number. He gives it out like a cheap whore (shit did I say that?) so everyone has it.
