Some more news and details about the project that Larry sent via email to everyone;

It's a new year and time for Airigami to create a massive project. We spent a lot of time planning last year.  Now it's time to build Elastic Park, my vision of Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park. Of course, these things always come down to funding. We've found funding that we know we can get -- with your help. All it will take is a few clicks from you.
Pepsi recently announced their intent to give away over a million dollars a month for community projects.  The public will determine where the money goes. All you have to do is visit the Pepsi site to cast your vote. Each person is allowed to vote every day during the voting period (February 1-28, 2010). Please vote and spread the word.  
The more people we get to support the project, the better our chance of launching this national touring show.  After voting, please ask your friends to do the same.

If you missed it before, here's the summary:

Elastic Park is an exhibit, featuring a unique blend of art, pre- history, and pop culture. The multi-thousand-square-foot, interactive exhibit (scalable to fit available space) was inspired by Michael Crichton's popular novel, Jurassic Park.

Balloons are the medium used to create the exhibit. The unusual medium draws a very diverse crowd both for the construction phase and the display phase. This is important since all large scale Airigami creations are community-based art projects. Community members are invited to participate in the 100,000 balloon creation, working alongside an international crew of skilled artists.

Visitors will walk among the creatures of the Triassic through Cretaceous periods, as described in Crichton's work. An audio tour with custom music and actor's voices will guide everyone through, describing the creatures, the art, and telling the story.

Like all major Airigami projects, Elastic Park is about the community.  
It would be cool if it was just an artistic display.  But we're taking it much further.  We're inviting the public to take part in the construction as well. So once we get the funding, we're going to be asking all of you to join in and help turn our plans into the most incredible dinosaur exhibition seen in the last 65 million years.

While things can certainly change, we expect the first stop on this tour to be Exploration Place in Wichita, KS. This is a fantastic science museum with just the right family-friendly atmosphere for us to work in.

Thanks for your help. We're looking forward to, once again, populating the planet with pre-historic dinosaurs.

Larry is doing it all over again this month trying to get in the top ten for funding. If you have time you can vote every day for the project through March. The more balloon publicity all over the world is good for everyone so please help if you can;
