Curating Bulky Collection

The other day one of the folks who commented on the pink couch mentioned she liked the term "bulky collection". For those of us who live here, it's just the bi-annual big trash haul. But she thought the term sounded more like the city of Austin functioned as curator for a large scale art exhibit. I love that take on it. And considering how many people troll the streets during the week of bulky collection looking to embrace someone else's trash as their treasure, the idea of it being a curated collection of precious objects seems very fitting.
In that vein, I present what, in my opinion, has to be one of the most fabulous items set out for Bulky Collection Winter 2009:

A Wurlitzer upright piano.
It's not everyday of the week you run across a piano sitting on the curb, but that's exactly what I encountered when I drove home from swim team on Monday morning. I definitely did a double take and then decided that as soon as I got home, I'd grab my camera and record this for posterity. Best of all, I didn't have to get back in my car to take these pictures because this once "grand" piano was set out on my street just a few blocks away.

PS. Sorry folks, the piano's gone. A roving curator acquired it for his/her private collection.
