  Out of balloons.
• The new building has stats. Darryl talks about them.
• Salt and Light will be recording the dedication.
• Apparently dedications are complicated. Go figure.
• The last cathedral dedication in North America was… probably the one in L.A. (2002)? In Canada, it’s probably been a few decades at least. Sacred Heart in Prince George (1960′s) might be the most recent?
• The Crystal Cathedral will be the new cathedral in Orange.
• Get tickets to the grand gathering.
• The Prayer of Dedication is pretty.
• Sticky is available for visual appreciation at andyland.ca
• Granite does not absorb oil, apparently.
• Remember: No kissing until after the blessing (of the altar).
• Sarah Hall made nice windows.
• Find people who have talents and are willing to share them.
• Google Docs, Dropbox and Backpack.
