Adam will walk on wires

« Return to front page

Last night I saw Man on Wire. The movie tells the true story of Philippe Petit who in 1974, rigged a tightrope between the two World Trade Center buildings and walked across.

One day, I too will walk on wires... specifically I will walk across overpriced ethernet cables tied between two moving horses. I will film my stunt and upload it to YouTube. Mark my words.
