Everything is Art

It's about 1am on Saturday morning and I've just finished a fun day of anthroconning (Is that a legitimate verb? Can it be? Please?) when I see red flashing lights down the alley. I figure it's a fire truck or ambulance and decide to brave the alley to look. I don't worry about danger. For one thing, I'm insane. For another, I always figured I look like the kind of person others try to avoid on the back streets at night.

Well, I get closer and see it sure wasn't the lights from an emergency vehicle. Some weird grid of lights. I take some video and read a nearby plaque identifying it as Cell Phone Disco. Apparently sensors detect nearby cellphone signals and feed it to the L.E.D.s

I always wondered why I hadn't seen this in year's past, until I explored this cross-alley some more and discovered I had.

This alley is the same one we took the Bobo pictures last year. The alley also has the bizarre Memento Mori pictures.
