Last night, NewMindSpace was hosting a free event, a Jedi Lightsabre Battle in front of the ROM. It sounded kind of fun... and well, being as the old man and I are well... old, we figured we could venture down to a pub in that general area, grab supper and a few brews and then head out to watch the spectacle unfold. I had big hopes that it would be awesome.
In its defense, the turnout was awesome. The spectacle itself, not so much. There were too many people for a true battle to take place and the black lights they had set up were not enough to make many of the lightsabres in that crowd glow. Here's some footage:
Needless to say -- we had to get our jedi fix after this disappointment so we pulled out the GameCube.

We kicked some evil Storm Trooper ass! Yes, we are this lame.




















That is one of the best things I have heard about in quite a while. Thanks for the footage. Did anyone in TO get shot while half the force was holding back geeks from spilling on to the streets?
It's official.
You are no longer aloud to make fun of Tim for nerdy things.
