 |  | 608 fannin colab
< on 9/8/2006 3:18 AM >
|  | | | after a brief online correspondence, i recently had the pleasure of meeting with fellow ue enthusiast justin_case. this was this first time i've collaborated with another explorer from any internet community and was lucky to have kicked off another level of exploration with such a friendly guy. also, i had no worries about meeting any undesirables on the street that night. this guy's a tank!
i took a few pictures upon our joint discovery of 608 fannin, but was not happy with how most shots turned out.. i was too excited at the moment to focus on anything for very long. justin recorded video as i dashed about giddily. we kicked around for a while but were eventually sent back by the sound of approaching footsteps above us. days later i returned and took a few more shots before again being thwarted by the presence of security.
looking back at the ladder: i was so stoked when we found this area that i never once thought twice about splashing down into the ankle high water.. encompassed with active electrical wires.
to the right: looking thru a sliding door to the initial chamber. last i checked, the door is tied shut from the "outside" [the way i found it]. if you go there, please re-tie it as you leave. to the left: WATER TUNNEL OF DEATH.. i'll get back to that.
this is one of the first things one sees when entering the substructure. a foot. WHY? i don't get it.
there are three stairways. one dead-ends into a few rooms of empty shelves. old archives maybe? another stair was boarded over.
up into the rest of the building. this is as far as i've got.
the only records i found on site were some service reports. the most recent dated 1990.
the water tunnel of death:
on my way out the second time, i thought it would be a good idea to wade thru this passage and find another exit. it was in fact a very bad idea. after 5 steps into it my feet were cemented into some silty quicksand shit at the bottom of the water. i've never stepped in quicksand before, but if i ever did, i'd imagine this is what it would feel like. at the time, i found it rather hilarious, so i shot this picture when i realised frantic wiggling wasn't getting me anywhere.
of course i eventually pried my feet out.
there's still more to explore. i'm always up for company. houston was just what i hoped for.

| | | | ever had a classic ue moment- simultaneously defining and foolish?
last night, in the absence of detectable security (seemingly denoted by the absence of a certain van in the adjacent lot) i found my way to the rooftop of 608 fannin with ease. 20 odd stories high and with no camera (it was stolen monday) i shook off my anxiety and gloom with a careless jig in celebration- this was the tallest building i had ever scaled. note that no living creature will ever see me dance unless he happens upon me at such a rare moment as last night. and as it would happen, atop the neighboring high-rise across the street, a guard watched silently. God only knows what he must have thought. when i saw him, he turned away and rushed inside a door. i had no intention to find if he ever called police.

| | | | Oh, one other thing. You need to take another "possessed evil dude" picture again, from the top of a structure. It's Halloween.
