If you haven't yet see this show at the Harrison, this weekend is your last chance. I talked to Scott Grow about this show last week and his excitement was palpable.The show obviously took a great deal of work to pull together and the result is definitely worth seeing. Although you can't comfortably hang out in your own backyard weekend (brrrr) you can experience it indoors. Now that's something to be excited about!
