“Relaxing electronically” by Andrew
Andrew has turned a very old low capacity thumbdrive into a little person wearing a little hat and impish grin, reclining. This is to capture the impact of technology that is a huge part of the citys culture and life right now, as well as its whimsy - its deep commitment to fun and creative events and oddity.

Pick up a matchbox to join the journey or join us and fellow local residents, workers and students in San Francisco to share your matchbox creations before they enter our People Make Places San Francisco Time Capsule. Friends are welcome to pick up a matchbox from these rendezvous or prepare something to place in one when we meet.
Before joining us, ensure you read invitation instructions found HERE
We will be popping up all over, from Golden Gate Park, The Embarcadero, The Presidio and Dolores Park, to Pier 39 and more.
Contact us to be informed of exact locations or to make arrangements to pick up or deliver your matchbox at an alternative time.

“Bedroom Window” by Jonathon
Two elements Jonathon sees every day from his apartment are The Castro rainbow flag - for inclusiveness and tolerance, and Sutro tower - a 3 sided radio tower very well visible in San Francisco often shrouded by fog. Fog has been termed by San Franciscans as Karl the Fog.
From around 5.30pm we will be in the Mission district to collect matchboxes and enjoy some music.
Joe (pictured) who we encountered on the weekend whilst he was working at the Stern Grove Festival is one of our new matchbox family members. He is playing in a band during happy hour from 6-7.30pm at Amnesia’s Jazz, Rhythm and Blues Night. Please join us! Cover is free. Contact us to see where we will be collecting matchboxes nearby before and/or after. (or during if need be).
Amnesia is located at 853 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA 94110 (between 19th and 20th St)

Our first Pop Up will be at the amazing Botanical Gardens in Golden Gate Park
SATURDAY 16 JULY
9.15am - 10.15am
2nd Piano
No 2 piano is quite near the Main Gate entrance to the Botanical Gardens on 9th ave near Lincoln Way.
Join us to hear one of our matchbox collaborators who we encountered today play the piano at the 2nd Piano. Pick up a matchbox, create one on the spot or deliver one you have already made at the same time.
ENTRANCE TO THE GARDEN
Everyone: Free entry from 7.30-9am
San Francisco Residents: Always free. Show them your ID at the front gate or a bill with your name on it to a residential address in San Francisco and you have free entry every day. They do suggest a $2 donation - definitely worth it and highly recommended!
Non SF residents: $8.00/person after 9am or look into getting a yearly membership
We can be contacted on 646-512-0530 or via matchboxprojects[at]gmail.com. But we do not know whether there will be good reception whilst in the park!
After you spend time with us in the park, we recommend you stay and enjoy the amazing Flower Piano events happening within the gardens. 12 days, 12 pianos until 18 July!

“Diversity” by Katherine.
The pride flag and the people represent the diversity of NYC & the flowers the beauty of the city. Katherine loves sitting outside on her stoop (stairs) watching the people go by.

Contact Naomi to arrange a time to meet or to join others bringing back their creations at one of our pop ups/rendezvous.
Please feel free to suggest a time/venue/location too.
WHAT IS A POP UP/RENDEZVOUS?
Meet diverse fellow New Yorkers and share what you have created before we encapsulate your matchbox in our New York Time Capsule. There are often quite a few people at each rendezvous so please give yourself ample time to enjoy the experience and to ensure Naomi can individually photograph you with your box (at least with your hands as in above image) and have your voice recorded expressing what you have created!
A few rendezvous locations will be uploaded to this blog, others will be more discreet so ensure you contact Naomi to let her know your interest in attending!
