Anchoring Mario over the transom railing
texture · 11 Nov YDAU
- When: 11 Nov YDAU, first set of the Hal-Stice exhibition on Show Court #6, watched by Helen Steeply.
- What: When Schtitt has Mario film the exhibition's whole first set from the crow's nest high over the Show Courts, Watson is the human belay: "Schtitt had Mario film the whole first set from above, leaning way out over the transom's railing with Watson braced and gripping his vest from behind, Mario's police lock protruding and casting a weird needly shadow slanted northeast of Court 9's net." A single-clause cameo, but a literal load-bearing one — Watson's grip is what keeps the leaning Mario from pitching off the railing.
