KISS THE BLUE BRIDGE

On February 14th, 2010,(Next Valentines Day) I am inviting as many crazy, romantic people as possible to “Kiss the Blue Bridge” with a thousand or more helium filled balloons next valentines day. I would like to encourage everyone interested, to arrive by Kayak, small boat, or on foot at 9:00am. around and under the Johnstone street Bridge in Victoria, BC. I want every Kayak and person to bring at least twenty helium filled balloons on hundred foot strings. The idea would be to have at least a thousand or more Red balloons floating up and around the Blue bridge and this would be recorded on camera for all time. Victoria is sadly going to lose this historic bridge and so it would be a way to pay our respects to part of Victoria’s important history. Tell your friends. Please contact me and let me know if you think you could participate. I am a Victoria artist and my e mail is dhouston@coastnet.com
