ABC New York City Invasion Today

moored — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 14:12:25 +0000

New York City gets invaded tomorrow morning by ABC at 9:30AM

To promote its new alien-invasion series, ABC is creating the shock of something inexplicable appearing in the skies over New York. Starting Friday, October 23, 2009, the Giant Red Letter V– written by skywriting planes– will begin to appear over New York landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, the network says, to promote “V,” a remake of the 1980s miniseries that begins next month. ABC won’t specify which landmarks will be getting the giant V treatment, but it will go on for several days. New Yorkers can expect to see the sky graffiti overhead early Sunday October 25, 2009 and again on Halloween October 31, 2009.

Cities being subjected to the campaign include New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia. Both New York and Los Angeles are set to be “V’d” several times.

There’s been so much turmoil around the release of V, an ABC sci-fi series based on a 1980s NBC show and mini-series, that I started to dismiss it. ABC broke up the premiere so that the show would debut as a mini-series before going to full series in the spring. That news came after production came to a halt for a complete series overhaul. Something was going very wrong.

At least ABC’s marketing team seems confident enough in the show to pull out all the stops, promo-wise. THR reported yesterday on a skywriting promo that will feature a red “V” over US cities. Now ABC has released the list of cities, including New York, Boston, Minneapolis and Los Angeles. (Not shockingly, Cleveland is absent from the list. Oh well.)

Check out the complete list of cities after the jump.

Lady Liberty on Lake Mendota (Feb. 16, 2009)

moored — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 06:20:20 +0000

History of Lady Liberty on Lake Mendota (Feb. 16, 2009).

Ice on Lake Mendota has melted so fast the Statue of Liberty, buried under the ice sheet, is beginning to reappear behind the Memorial Union on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.

OK, that’s stretching the truth just a little bit.

But the top of Miss Liberty’s head and her torch-holding arm will be “protruding” through the ice, an homage to the university’s wacky past, serving as a beacon to all attending the annual Hoofers Winter Carnival this weekend on campus.

Hoofers Winter Carnival chair Bridget Maniaci said the faux statue will be erected on the Lake Mendota ice Friday to commemorate the 30-year anniversary of the first erection in February 1979, a campaign promise from the campus Pail and Shovel Party, who took control of the student senate in 1978.

The Memorial Union shifted its weather webcam slightly east to broadcast the rebuilding of Lady Liberty via the Internet.

The recent warm weather put a damper on several festival events such as Bascom Hill skiing and snowboarding, but events on Lake Mendota will go ahead as scheduled, as the ice is very thick and should measure up for competitors in such sports as broomball, frozen bowling and snow croquet.

Other events include the premiere showing of the film “Anamoly” at the Wisconsin Union Theater at 8 p.m. Thursday night, A Valentine’s moonlight hike on the Ice Age trail and free skiing at Tyrol Basin on Saturday night, the winter games events Saturday afternoon on Lake Mendota and snow kiting on Lake Mendota a week from Saturday on Feb. 21.

Wisconsin Hoofers is the UW-Madison outdoor recreation club, offering recreational sports opportunities and competition to UW students since its inception in 1931, with roots harkening back to 1920 when Norwegian exchange students built a ski jump on Muir Knoll, with jumpers propelled out onto Lake Mendota’s ice.
