My futon/sofa frame out of soda cans is about half-way done. I'm looking into getting some sort of padding for it.


Or do I strike a "wtf" without even trying?

That's pretty awesome, but won't the cushions destroy the carefully set up cans? Or are they strung/glued together?

And I cry for your poor teeth and gums; all that soda can't be good for them.

even if they are glued together, they're not going to support someone's weight for any reasonable period of time. you have to support them with a frame of some kind

you can even hide the frame in the cans, ninja-style

cool chair though

i think it probably could. you've got 200 pounds (counting cushions and everything) spread out across at least 100 cans. the cushion would help disperse the weight, and the most pressurized column of cans would probably not be supporting more than 10 lbs. it takes way more than that to crush a can.

but i guess we'll have to find out... do it for science eric!

I didn't drink all of this soda at once. And it's actually a collaborative effort from a lot of different people. I'm just the one with enough time to put them all together.

For now, I am binding them with stripes of duct tape (stuff does everything). And, there has not been any issue with holding my weight. Just take any normal soda can and--without bending the middle--stand on it. It can take a lot of force so long as the walls of the can aren't dented inward or outward.

I'm going to be covering the entire thing in a layer of cardboard, so the cushions will simply rest on it.

We're in Governance tomorrow as usual. I'm going to watch the movie in the Marquee, so I'll miss the first half at least. Also, I sliced my hand so I don't know if I can carry my TV without ripping open the wound.

It's not as bad as Sync's; it's in between my index and middle fingers on my left hand so the only problem is I can't stretch my finger to hit L a lot or it starts to hurt.

What's going on over Thanksgiving? Anything?

I can't play Thursday, but might be willing to host over the weekend if there is interest...
