Another day, another Lego creation.
As I was looking a bit closer, I wondered, is the dude in the back row center supposed to be the Walrus? Or that creepy Davy Jones dude in Pirates of the Caribbean?
Because I don't think he made the final cover of the album. I'm just sayin'...
Never mind that. We'll always have Woodstock.
Gotta love Jimi Hendrix in Lego. Lefty guitar and all. My boy? He's nothing if not big on historical accuracy.
Just ask the Beatles at Shea Stadium.
We won't bring up the fact that Paul's Hofner bass is supposed to be a lefty, and George is supposed to be a righty.
I think the fact that he printed and trimmed out a Hofner is the Just Pass Go and Collect $200 here. Am I right?
Details. Like I said.
Love this kid.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Speaking of this kid, this past September, arsonists burned down parts of his school's playground. Cole attends an inner city public montessori school and the school had spent years raising funds to build the playground. This unconscionable crime was committed by 8 to 12 year olds.
The playground is now completely closed, and will remain so until a new one is built. Needless to say, the parents and students are very sad about this loss.
However, from 8 a.m. today through 8 a.m. tomorrow, Cole's school is hosting a Give to the Max day, where every donation goes 100 percent to rebuilding the playground, courtesy of GiveMN.org and its sister site Razoo.com. Every donation made during the next 24 hours will receive a portion of a $500,000 match and GiveMN partners are paying for the online transaction costs as well.
I have already hit you guys with donation requests for charity:water, and I thank you for hearing me out. No pressure from me. I simply couldn't as a concerned parent who truly loves my child's school not share this fundraiser with you.
If you are interested in learning more, every small bit helps, and 100 percent of your donation goes to rebuild the playground. Click here for details. Tell 'em Cole sent you and thanks for reading.
Or, you can always watch the segment Cole and Aidan made over the weekend. Together they wrote it, filmed it and produced it. Very proud of these kids. Very proud. Our local newstation KSTP Channel 5 even ran a bit of their video on last night's news. The news anchor said, "This kid's got a future in broadcasting." Amen, brother. Amen.
