Friends foil Olympia man's home

From The Olympian bq. A lone book titled "Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends" was untouched. bq. But nearly everything else in Chris Kirk's downtown Olympia apartment was encased in aluminum foil when he returned home Monday night from a trip to Los Angeles. bq. The walls, ceiling, cabinets and everything in between now shimmer with a metallic glow, thanks to a prank by Kirk's longtime friend, Olympia native Luke Trerice. bq. Trerice, a 26-year-old known among his friends for his off-the-wall schemes, stayed in the apartment while Kirk was away. bq. "He's known for large-scale strangeness," said Kirk, who is 33. "He warned me that he would be able to touch my stuff, but it didn't sound so bad." bq. Trerice, who lives in Las Vegas, and a small group of friends draped the apartment with about 4,000 square feet of aluminum foil, which cost about $100. Now when can I get that guy to house sit for a couple people I know... (evil grin) Posted by DaveH at January 8, 2004 7:35 PM
