    A dream come true. One can only hope that, once the banana graces the Texas sky line, the good citizens of Texas will decide to make it permanent.

    So why is the “Banana over Texas” program based in Canada?

    In spite of where the artists are based, many tend to present work in different parts of the world.

    I thought this already happened…or maybe I’m thinking about the Nebraska watermelon float. I guess it’s Texas’ turn now.

    Although i hate bananas, i love art, you think they can substitute a cucumber for a banana? If so, I would gladly donate more.

    has any research been done to see if dogs will howl at the banana?

    I’ll put $25 to the project now. To contribute more, you have to define “success” a little clearer. IE: what if it only flies for a week? Are photos and video feeds built into the price of the project? (for us poor souls who aren’t in Texas)

    If this project succeeds, I may even make a trip from Nova Scotia to Texas to see it!

    Reply to Banana Lover 1 : “Have you guys tried to approach Chiquita for a donation? This could lead to a banana renaissance that would directly benefit them.”

    See the above link, in the comment by Alaska F., posted on March 11.
