Giant Beings

So Katie and I have decided that we need to see all of the giant things this country has to offer.  There is an entire Web site dedicated to "Giant Beings" that can be found all over the place, and there are a surprising amount of them that can be found.  There are almost 100 through out the country, with most of them located in Minnesota and Illinois. 

How did the construction of huge... bizarre... sculptures of people ever actually begin?  Especially when you look at sculptures like the one shown on the left.  Who was sat there one day thinking that making a giant creepy-looking guy hold a giant hot dog like a baby would be a good idea? I can't get over the look he has on his face... he's sort of staring you down, challenging you to take that giant hot dog away from him. It's just weird.  I guess we'll let you know what it's like in person.

Overall, I think we should be able to hit up every single of these freakish statues, except for Santa Claus in Alaska. I don't know if we'll make it up there. We'll make a little road map with cut out of these big guys taped all over it to make sure we don't miss any of them, because that would be quite the travesty.

Because of midterms, this is pretty much all of the planning we've accomplished this week, but we're meeting up this weekend to brainstorm and discuss all of the ideas that everyone has thrown our way so far.  Keep them coming. They've been great.
