Give Your Old Cell Phones New Life

By RobP369 on Thu, Oct 11, 2007 6:14 pm Hello Boston, My name is Rob Pettit, an artist here in Allston. I'm putting together an installation of old used cell phones. I have about 1000 so far and I need help getting much more. You can see a picture of the pile here, http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h28/robp1322/?action=view&current=DSCN...
I've tried recycling companies but they won't help, they make a lot of money cleaning your old phone and then selling it refurbished, than give a little money to charity to make them look good. Their not out there to help broke artists like myself.
Any way, If you have some old phones you want to donate to my project my building is having open studios on the weekend of November 10. swing by and check out my work along with 40 other artists. The address is 119 Briantree in Allston, down the street from the Sports Depot. Email me If you need more info or want to come by my studio before than. Thanks Rob

Like a cool kid, I slept through my alarm back in Boston yesterday morning, scrambled to finish packing before my last minute cab showed up, and then forked over $40 for said cab to drag my sleepy ass to Logan for my flight to SXSW.
