Centennial shrink-wrap

[sgrizzle]

The last two weekends there have been a lot of prep work and practice for upcoming festivities. It looks like they are covering several downtown high-rises in white.. plastic? I saw them projecting light shows on those buildings.

Anyone got any details?

Choreographed to stirring music, the skies over Downtown Tulsa will explode in myriad color and designs from rooftop pyrotechnics as historic images flow across the downtown skyscrapers. Public Viewing area between Boston and Boulder from 8th to 10th Streets. Free Entertainment begins at 5 p.m.

I read this as well.... Having a bit of a problem understanding what they mean by "historical images"

Are these going to be holographs or what..


Hopefully Tay does not have a way to put his holograph up...[}:)]

My understanding is that it's a reflective film over the windows to increase the contrast of the projections.

Also, while not downtown, Zingo was lit tonight -- looked a bit ghostly all by itself.

Just my luck that I have to go to a wedding in KC this weekend and will miss the show.
