i was in toronto hanging out with a group of people, one of which was keith H. they had built this amazing tower out of something, it was all wobbly looking and terribly unsteady, this narrow tube of a building that went up ten stories or something in an alley between two other tall buildings. it was all different colors.

keith was going to go up to the top, it opened into a platform like a turret from a castle, or like the round part of the CN tower. so he left to go to the top, i was astonished that there was an elevator which went up the side of the tower.

while he was traveling, the others told me the tower was made of american apparel clothing, laminated and folded into these blocks, like hollow cubes with 4 points on the top like a crown almost. they were really lightweight.

we watched him get out of the elevator and stand at the top of the tower. the tower started swaying and then a big gust of wind hit it and we saw it lean over toward one of the buildings. keith was hanging on to the railing, it was moving so fast. the tower hit the building and the top platform toppled over toward the building's roof. keith jumped off onto the roof, very nonchalant, as if this sort of thing happened all the time.

the roof was really pretty, with a garden and hanging viney things all over the place with little lights in them.
