Thanks,Kev! Sitting here on a rooftop with friends starting our wait for it. We plan to make a mad dash to street level to catch some good pix - prime photo opp!

That is so cool! It gave me chills and damp eyes (I'm getting so soft and sentimental in my dotage). I love New York so much. Thanks for posting it, you wonderful guys.

Wish I were there. Is it wrong that I'm bothered by the fact that no one's actually watching the experience, they're all watching their cellphones?

Uhhhh, is it possible they are all taking *photos* with their cellphones?

Uhhhh, kinda my point. We don't just relay and enjoy moments, or meals, or much of anything else anymore without feeling compelled to do so through an LCD screen so we can post/tweet/Instagram/Snapchat it. In all that we miss something. Or, I'm a Luddite.

Me too. My niece's first birthday, there was so much jostling and so many delays to get it on video that it honestly didn't feel like a party. That was 10 years ago, before cell phone videos, so this was an actual videocam being juggled around.
