"Hey, this box says free vinyl!"

"Are there 8 singles in there?"

"Yes, why?"

"I've had this idea for a while now..."

Anyway, I had a great trip in Antwerp this weekend. I'm part of an urban planning club and we go on a trip every year to visit cool projects and generally have fun.

Among other things we visited the medieval underground canals that were used for the old center's sewage until 2001 (!). You know how horror games include these creepy sewer-like levels with gross stuff, spiders and rats? It was basically that but with a strong fecal odor. The tour guide happily told us that since they moved to actual sewage treatment fifteen years ago, the river has stopped being a toxic hell and actual fish swim in it. Great job, Antwerp!

ok - the vinyl wall installation is epic. Well done!

regarding the underground canals? I love the front page of the website and all of the photos - they all look so excited to smell fecal odors!

Who wouldn't be! They added colored lights to make it even more exciting. (It was cool though, and only mildly nauseating.)

What'd you stick those to the wall withj

Small bits of doublesided tape. So far, only two have fallen down - not a lot since I use less than half an inch of tape. Vinyl ain't heavy, bro.

damn I was hoping for a fat tip on some kinda magic sticky wall thing because I'm always in the market for weird shit to put on my walls
