From the Department of Do-it-Yourself

I love this.  As a person who organizes community events, public art projects, etc.,  I have spent a big chunk of my working life requesting, completing, checking up on and arguing with people about permits. Last summer I completed a tent permit that required more witnesses and signatures than my marriage license.  So it is with great joy that I see people just DOING things.  For some of these projects there is no process in place (unless your city has a Department of Tree Apparel).  For others, the process is so lengthy and convoluted that an act of guerrilla public service is actually the best option.
