The heralded as "spectacular"
WaterFire event that took place on the Plaza last weekend was far from spectacular.
Let's see, it would have been spectacular if I was with a beautiful woman, a bottle of wine and a couple of blankets to stay warm while we played a little kissy-face in public... that would have been spectacular and would have done well to offset the opera singers braying over the loudspeaker.
I'm not an opponent of opera, I just think it's place is in an opera house.
On the other hand, it was nice to consume beverages on the streets of The Plaza, a la The French Quarter or Vegas. Instead, it was a small crowd of people all thinking the same thing, "Waterfire? Those are just small campfires. Who's ready for another beer?"
Where was the fire-dancing? Next year, channel some Hawaiian Luau talent!
An interesting opinion about
the environmental aspects of WaterFire can be found on the Kansas Meadowlark blog. I giggled about burning leaves in the backyard if they are arranged in artistic formation. Nice one!

Not much news to report on The Plaza the past few days... this must be the quiet before the madness that ensues once the light switch gets flipped.
