Kansas City Chalkboards

Posted by Justin Shull on August 9th, 2009

We had over 300 visitors in the Porta Hedge Friday night during the First Friday gallery event and the chalkboards filled up quickly with autographs, doodles and the occasional observation.

Southwest Boulevard Open House

Posted by Justin Shull on August 8th, 2009

Singer songwriter MIKAL SHAPIRO joined the Porta Hedge crew yesterday evening at the intersection of Southwest Boulevard and Baltimore Avenue during Kansas City’s FIRST FRIDAY in the Crossroads Art District. In addition to enjoying Mikal’s performance, visitors were invited to come inside and explore the Porta Hedge’s observation lab. Many of the visitors expressed their enthusiasm at the possibility of using the Porta Hedge to observe their neighbors.

The Gangs of Westport

Upon arriving at our host’s house in Kansas City, we were informed that the neighbor had reported seeing a gang on our host’s front porch a few evenings prior. The neighbor called the police, but no gang was found. We decided to help out the neighborhood by conducting an observation session late last night. The results are documented in this video.

One Month on the Road

Posted by Justin Shull on August 6th, 2009

Believe it or not, the Porta Hedge has been on the road for a month since it started its national tour at the beginning of July. Despite a replaced tire, scorched plants, and bare spots where branches have succumbed to the 65+mph winds, the Porta Hedge is holding up quite well on the road. Perhaps better than the team driving it around. We’re taking a two day layover in Kansas City to recuperate and to perform a neighborhood watch on W 39th Terrace. In this area of Kansas City armed robbery is still a reality despite the beautiful architecture, manicured lawns and watchful neighbors.
