Having fallen under Paul's spell in London, I'd forgotten to think much about what must be happening at the other end of the tunnel in New York.
Luckily some people who live there have been keeping an eye on things. It turn out that Paul is planning to surface on Old Fulton Street at Fulton Ferry Landing, Brooklyn, just in time for the 125th birthday celebrations of the Brookyln Bridge. Very fitting, since it's very likely that Alexander Stanhope St George was present at the opening of the bridge.
A handful of New Yorkers are making their plans to visit their local Telectroscope (see The Gothamist blog, for example). And - get this - the Village Voice claims:
"The spectacle gets underway on the morning of May 20th when a gargantuan drill will rise up half-way from the East River near the Brooklyn Bridge. Another drill will rise in the Thames near the Tower Bridge."
Paul has mentioned nothing about this to me. But then again, he also failed to tell me that on the official Telectroscope site he's offering a Fast Track service for people who have specific ideas about who they wish to communicate with via the Telectroscopes:
Fast track
Business meeting? Marriage proposal? We expect large numbers of people will want to visit the Telectroscopes and sometimes there may be long queues. Each day we will be able to fast track small groups of people at both ends to make it possible for families and friends to ‘meet’. Tell us why and when you need priority access to the Telectroscope and you might win the chance to jump to the front of the queue.
So who would you like to see at the other end of the tunnel?
