Who has the better return policy? Is one of them cheaper than the other?

I have absolutely no problem denigrating your political ideals at every opportunity and have no plans to stop doing so.
I like that video. I bet that would make some nice lights dance.
Too bad Mercutio had to rain on your light parade just to make himself feel better by starting drama with SD over stupid politics. Bravo.
No, please don't. I don't need to see ePenises coming out to prove each other about their political views by way of adding drama and passive aggressive remarks about one's views. I really couldn't give a fuck one way or the other and I'm almost certain there is no polite way for them to argue their points (please...go ahead and prove me wrong). PM each other and work that shit out between yourselves if you think there is some value in trying to prove to the other person your opinions.
I believe it is George Takei playing the role of Mr. Hikaru Sulu.
That video would be in violation then if used for commercial purposes without release.
Also, what about the public broadcasting of the song while the lights were on display for public consumption? I don't believe that falls under fair use and may require royalties if someone was so willing to pursue. Edit: consumer stores who play music in public pay to do so. I'm sure this would be a limited situation, but I'm asking out of curiosity.

The performance of the recorded music likely falls under the non-commercial/charitable exemption; no entrance charge, no charge to hear, etc.
If it is performed by loudspeakers, it seems to fall within the exemption. If it is transmitted by short-range radio, it is less clear; the limited range may keep it from being a "transmission to the public". 17 USC §110(4)

I bought it from Amazon for $0.99. I'm pretty sure it's ok.

Went well. Set up in ~60 man-hours. Torn down in about 6. Run for about 1. Not the best ratio, but we were awfully popular with the few thousand spectators.

Did the crowd enjoy your musical selection from Mannheim Steamroller? :rofl:

Is there a difference between one variety of electronic overproduced pop crap and the other?

I never meant to suggest you obtained the song illegally. I was mostly curious what the legal view was on publicly playing the music. sdbardwick clarified it for me and I learned something.
Thanks sdbardwick!Sounds like a fun and successful event. Are you going to one-up it for next year?

Yup. The boss liked it and I was told to "continue building inventory". So I'll be buying more lights in January. I'm still trying to figure out how to go bigger; even this equipment required a special permit, we were clearing power lines by inches, and needed people walking both sides to make sure we didn't run over children in the corners. Perhaps an Excavator or a Scraper?
Who???

Great find. Those are all the experiences I had (or wanted to have) when I lived in NYC (briefly). Of course, those moments were massively overpowered by less positive moments, but if you want to but together a "greatest hits", that would be it.
Holy cow -- that was rather fortuitous on my part!! Had no idea. Well there you go -- don't say I never gave you anything for your birthday LOL
You will likely enjoy "You've got to love London" http://vimeo.com/12816238

Thanks guys for the birthday wishes! And thanks CityK for the birthday gift! The #7 train in the beginning, and the shot of Queensboro Plaza 50 seconds in, is definitely on my list of NYC experiences-I've ridden that line literally hundreds of times, if not more. Really, anything subway is quintessential NYC. And Rockefeller Center is one of my favorite places this time of year. In fact, they just lit a tree there today in honor of my birthday! :-D

There's no ice here, so I would be very surprised if there was any in NYC.

Is there supposed to be some sort of link that goes with that?
