It is Friday and Fridays are for fun. Crashed ice is in town for the weekend. There will be plenty of drinking and debauchery and parties in the streets . . . well at least on West 7th street. It is fun to watch. In the past I have gotten a media pass so that I could get close enough for some photos but once I learned that sports photography is a contact sport I kind of lost interest in getting the media pass. I’ll let the pros get the close-ups and I’ll take pictures of the venue.
Here is a picture of the cathedral after the lighting crew got done. It is simply gorgeous.
Here is what it will look like during the event. . . up close.
The weather forecast is predicting temperatures in the 50’s on Saturday which is about 60 degrees warmer than it was the night I took the photo of the race. If you want to know more look at the official crashed ice web site.
