Comments on: Shade Model, with Wookie! http://www.bloodymaryland.org/2008/03/05/shade-model-with-wookie/ Starting the day off right @ 4:15ish and Kyoto!

How do you all envision the camp layout? I'm trying to wrap my head around how we're going to park the RV's to minimize wind intrusion and make the bar welcoming AND avoid having the guy wires come down on the street side(trip hazard)... Perhaps Costume tent(our best wind block) on the left with door facing west, Plan A making the west 'wall' and Nappy Weave making the north 'wall'??? It is a beautiful structure.

I love a man with time on his hands. Big ups to the engineer. The wookie is key. He's like our version of the virtual man they used when designing the Boeing 777 in AutoCAD... Now that I see it, do you think we need a center spire? I still like the shape, but the canopy might benefit from some tension at the center. Also, bear in mind that we can adjust the tension in various areas (where there is bunching in the model) with the shape and the seams on the actual structure. The rear guy wires COULD be attached directly to the RV instead. Fuck Yeah! I love a man with time on his hands. Big ups to the engineer.
