that roof took me a very long time to figure out.
how to correctly do the cheer:
yeah, the roof looks like some aronofsky visualization...
btw, happy 080808 everyone!
update: the 080808 comment was strictly on it's numerology, not to be construed as support for the olympics
Is that a roof? I was interpreting it as a blast of red fireworks being simultaneously fired from all around the upper edge of an open-roof stadium...
Crap, I've been doing the cheer incorrectly! Apparently there's no "pantomime riding a pony & swinging a lasso" step.
Is there any significance to 080808 in an ancient culture's lore? Perhaps something referenced in the X-Files?
yeah, actually what they did was suspend the entire stadium inverted over a pool of bio luminescent bacteria, and then turned on the artificial gravity.
808 has significance to contemporary culture: http://musicthing.blogspot.com/2008/08/today-is-808-day.html
yeah, bill, you're right...
check out the nytimes slideshow
the repetition produces some interesting effects. i'm a fan of pics 6 and 10. they have a kaleidoscopic quality to them.
also, i love the beastie boys stage setup to which the music thing blog links [youtube]
I like how they did a wire-stunt to light the torch. (last pic of Onny's NYT slideshow)
some clips from 8.8.08, where the boredoms played with 88 drummers for 88 minutes at the la brea tar pits:
