For the last two weeks, we've been mastering our backwards typography skills, working toward the common goal of putting our twelve, street level windows on Rue St. Pierre to good use. Inspired by the Fifty People, One Question Project, we decided to pose a question via our windows, in hopes of collecting some interesting answers from passers-by. As people email us their answers, we draw them on the windows in real time.
So go ahead and ask yourself: Where would you wish to wake up tomorrow?
Comment on this post and we'll draw your answer in, too. Here's a photo of the beginning stages, before the arm cramps set in.
Then we decided to fill in all of the letters in to increase readability, and because we just loved that fresh marker smell.
Here's a close up. Say hi to Andy!
As for the answers, here are a few favorites so far.
And below is the video that started it all. I happened upon these Fifty People One Question videos a few months ago and I'm hooked. The directors Benjamin Reece and Tung Ly have so far completed these question-themed, short films in 5 cities: New Orleans, New York, London, Mexico City, and Perugia. My favorite one is below. Thanks Ben for letting us borrow your question! Your pics are on the way as promised.

Stay tuned for more photos as our collection of answers grows. And don't forget to comment here to get your answer up on the windows.
