Title: Time Capsule
Post by: cannon_fodder on March 23, 2009, 12:32:17 PM
Anyone know what happened to the most recent attempt to bury a time capsule in Oklahoma?  Last I heard it wasn't finished yet.  Or some such thing.

The reason I ask:
http://www.santafenewmexican.com/Local%20News/Time-capsule-for-400th-birthday-lost-amid--chaos-

Sante Fe is supposed to open a 50 year old time capsule today (400th Anniversary of the founding of Sante Fe).  But now they realize it was never actually buried and the items that were supposed to be put in it are no where to be found - if they ever were actually gathered. 

Too bad too.  It was constructed by a firm that stores nuclear waste, so probably would have survived brilliantly.

Anyone know whats up with Tulsa's latest effort?

Our items are gathered and sealed but still await their final resting place. I believe there were quite a few arguments about the final design of the above-ground storage structure/artpiece.

Oh gawd,,, I keep forgetting about this... I suppose at the moment its pretty much up to me what happens with this. We got it sealed in the waterproof/metal container and now its sitting "at an undisclosed location" waiting to be placed somewhere and have a structure built around it. I was just so wrapped up with the large casino mural project that I havent focused on it.

I know,, Dont know why I hadnt thought of it before...perhaps I can combine both the "Goddess of Oil" project I want done with this time capsule thing. Kill 2 birds with one stone. Finding a location and structural design... It could be placed in the structure behind the statue.

Thanks for the idea Cannon.
