the opening drums were freaking amazing.
also.. I heard of twitter, the opening ceremonies cost roughly 300 million US dollars.
crazy stuff..
and talk about the costumes OMG! I liked when the announcers were talking about the light up green suits, how the guy that designed them didn’t like the black and was like make me a green one like that… and then make however many thousand more.. LAST WEEK!
The shebori (sp?) painting was pretty cool too the way it was done.
Last but not least, the wave and water boxes… my whole family and girlfriend thought they were hydraulics or something, I was like.. it’s freaking china we’re talking about here, and of course in the end I was right, there were guys in them! CRAZY!
