11:54 pm
engaged in the activities and what ideas we could come out with. this innovation was another great attempt that will be successful. where else could you sit here and engage in chips dishes i did that with people in between you could hear people whisper or educate a song and connect and create a song yourself or for probably the next week have your image carved into a pumpkin. but this is what we wanted to do in the living innovation zone. i want to thank planning and public works with other agencies to connect up with the yerba
11:55 pm
buena community district to bring out the spirit. and think about those experiments being the first of many to bring out the innovative spirits in all corridors. market street is a wonderful beginning because we want to signal how important this street is to our city. this is an international street. i know when john have the conventions all people will come down and experiment with all our local people. but if you can imagine when we started this with an accelerator with green start we signaled a year ago we wanted to bring this innovative spirit out to pause and suggest that maybe clean tech companies or solar companies or university or a
11:56 pm
sister city can actually demonstrate this on third street or maybe a corridor on howard street or carr developing value and bring this innovative spirit right to the local spreadsheet. you can have ideas whether it's a university or another klein company to bring it and excite people and have all kinds of good spirits. this is why we have an innovation spirit. this should be a great openness to this idea. i want to thank all the entities for bringing this spirit out for reflecting what we can do what we don't create boundary but invite more people into this.
11:57 pm
we did this a months ago when i had some san francisco students help me to create something on added 3/printer. they were saying this was a time when it's kind of like all a draft or report for them we're able to make some mistakes but create some things along the way so this spirit can thrive in our city. this is an experiment as dennis and a shawn said and we're allowed to make mistakes but allowed to created things at the same time. it's kind of like government in the private sector this is a pro to type. so that creativity can be reflected in everything we do. we're allowed to do that when we
11:58 pm
come together in the public and private sector we should suggest to your science partners and all that this creativity can be reflected in so many parts of our city bringing out people to open their minds to other ideas. this is i think the gift that san francisco has with all our partners. i want to thank you for all the participates in producing this diversity so we can produce other equivalence for the rest of the corridors and the rest of the neighborhoods thank you and congratulations
