And thank you to everyone who sent along photos from the skywriting yesterday... didn't get a chance to post them... had a few of my own too...
As you likely heard by now ... what it was all about, via the Daily News...
Cryptic messages written in the sky over lower Manhattan — part of a kooky art project — mystified and unnerved New Yorkers Sunday afternoon.
Just after 4 p.m. a plane wrote the words "Last Chance" in the air. The message was preceded by"Lost Our Lease" and followed by "Now Open."
The skywriting turned out to be sponsored by Friends of the High Line, the non-profit behind the wildly popular elevated park.
Artist Kim Beck, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh who lives part time in New York, chose messages from advertising billboards as cryptic comments on the faltering economy.
