A night time post! On a Saturday! From Rob! And I'm the first to comment!

I don't know what to say!!!

You know me too well. Yes, I NEVER post in the evening, yet alone at weekends. But I have a backlog of images and stories - this one today is already a week old - plus I have a busy week ahead and may not be able to post much (again).

Check out the smiles on everybody-- cool!

You are right. Silly or not, this was a feel-good kind of event.

That looks like so much fun, even if it do seem a little lame. I think part of the performance art thing is to make people a little uncomfortable and put them in unusual settings and allow them to act out. I would love to do something like that. What's more fun is just bumping into a piece while it's happening and trying to figure out what the hell is going on!

Did you do any bashing, for just clicking? The first pic behind the cut is fun!

(Reply) (Thread)

You are right. Part of the quite large crowd wouldn't have had a clue what was going on. (Such an odd thing to stumble upon too.) Even knowing the score, as I did, the whole thing was definitely bizarre.

Oh those violent Canadians, hitting each other with cardboard light-sabers. Makes me want to immigrate.

(Reply) (Thread)

Well, I guess if you feel like you need to bash someone, doing it with a cardboard tube isn't such a bad idea. Probably therapeutic, even . .

I like the bashing! And this time of day is indeed a treat.

Maybe world leaders should try this approach - just get togther for a little cardboard lightsaber battle instead of anything more serious . .

The day it happens, I'll run for office, because I want a crack at a few of those people.

I was so going to be there. Even arrived 20 mins early, with my camera.

And then I got cold, and walked home.

Glad someone got pictures of it!

You missed a not-bad photo op. But it was a very cold night, and I'm guessing that they started late. (I arrived way late and it was in full swing.)

Everyone looked like they were having a blast. Anarchy rules!

Care to organize a masss bubble bath in your neck of the woods?

ROFL

Scared people would pull the plug on you?

See, you're already making electricity jokes and I ain't even in the tub yet? LOL

excellent images. long exposure time really captures it well.

and, indeed! a very rare saturday evening post!

First time ever, I think, for Saturday night posting. Perhaps I'll do one tonight and all, and really throw you off balance.

I was ecxp[erimenting with the "night scenery" setting on my camera. It actually kind of works for this stuff (see the last two shots) because it captures both a sharp image through flash (I think) and then allows for capturing movement through an add-on longer exposure. Of course your psycho camera would add yet another interesting dimension . .

I love this post. Which you knew I would.

See - Princess Leia even makes an appearance, even though she was wielding a cell phone and a digital camera . .

Fun stuff, Robby!
:-)

(Reply) (Thread)

Yes indeed. See, I don't just mope around the house all day. (Just most of the time.)

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Cool!

If that had been staged in the US, it would have turned ugly and required police intervention at the end. I like you Canadians ...

(Reply) (Thread)

This one got about as rough as it could get while still being politely Canadian . .

That last photo is sheer magic. What created the white Yoda-like image in the center? Took my breath away. Hope you are keeping warm. Hugs all around. et

(Reply) (Thread)

'Tis like Yoda, but it's really a trrick of the light. The "Jedi" were right on top of a spotlight in that last poicture and their movements back and forth during a long exposure created some inetersting effects . .

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

I was like, whoooa this came at night!


AWESOME : looks like so much fun.

(Reply) (Thread)

I think you would have liked this event, Todd.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh! Great flippy fun!

(Reply) (Thread)

Yep, the joys of urban silliness . .

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Heh, that looked like fun! That's one of the things I like about big cities that smaller places can never have. Despite the university here and a lot of weirdos of all stripes, that [points up] is not something you'd EVER see in Ft. Collins.

And that's a very impressive R2D2 they had there. It reminds me of those droid-building conventions where everyone brings their own R2 unit and tries to out-geek everyone else. :)

(Reply) (Thread)

Yep we don't get this kind of thing in Nanookville either. More's the pity. And as for R2D2, you can probably guess he was remote controlled, and made all the requisite beeps and squeaks . .
