Redbirdruss Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Last night was one of the busiest nights for visitors at my display. At one time I had around 15 cars parked on the street.I had some technical issues so I had to go outside several times to check wiring etc and every time I went out, people rolled down their windows and thanked me for the display. We could hear oohs and aahs coming from the street. People were parking down the street and walking to our house to stand outside and see the show.I was watching the street from an upstairs window for a while and was amazed and touched to see all the kids hanging out of the windows of parked cars, moving to the music and just having a great time.I started doing this blinky light thing because I am a gadget guy/computer nerd who likes to play with technology. I am not an entertainer or lighting expert. I couldn't play a musicall instrument to save my life.What I didn't know was how much people were going to genuinely enjoy watching all the blinky lights. I am genuinely honored to be able to be a small part of the Christmas spirit.Merry Christmas!P.S. I am going to have to go REAL BIG next year!
