Well, my mind was still mulling over the greatest performance I've ever seen. I stayed sober for that show. I had a couple corn dogs afterward, but nothing crazy.
haha...i suggested to them to do a blacklight theme... turn the bulbs into blacklights and have it glow. that'd be cool if they actually listened, but i doubt theyd change to blacklights...
i like neon colors, but not sure how i feel about it yet. gotta see it in person.
I really hope they don't do blacklights at night, at least not exclusively. The nice thing about the fountain is that it tends to be the most well-lit space in the area.
yeah. itd diminish the visibility and that wouldnt be safe, so I'm sure they didn't do the blacklight idea.
They could mix flourescent and black lighting and that would work for everyone.
They may do this, as I think the DayGlo paint lends itself well to some black lighting. I just hope they don't do that exclusively. You idea sounds great though.

I think the lighting scheme varies, sometimes it's all lit up, the next minute it grows dimmer... Blacklights could be fit into a varied lighting schedule; bright and safe for 5 or 10 minutes, then a minute or two of blacklit psychedrizzle. And, throw some strobes on the falling water for some extra potent optical spazzation.

Mesmerizing/trippy - close enough (not quite what i was aiming, but still fun to stare at). Blacklight - we'll see. Glow in the dark paint woulda been cool too, but dunno if it'd work well. Blacklight's pretty cool enough anyway.

However the lighting ends up being, I'm really just glad to see a return to a more colorful and psychedelic design. The last few years I've been a little disappointed. The fountain is the secondmost iconic symbol of roo, next to the arch. Thanks for starting this thread, jho.
I wasn't going to click on this thread, but I inadvertently ended up seeing this picture on facebook. Looks like the best fountain out of the past three years. I was so disappointed my first year in 08 with the bugs, last year was a great improvement. This year looks great so far, i'm sure it'll come to life at night.
someone on here once said the water is brown because the well pump for the Fountain is sucking up sediments and whatnot.
No, I think they just recycle the water all weekend. So that is basically dirt from someone's nutsack that people are bathing in and letting run into their mouths.

I love it! The checkers were cool, but the '06 fountain was great. All purple and orange and glowy. I almost spent the whole night staring at it after Radiohead.
For the last two years the fountain has been using clean and not recycled water, it is connected to the same water system now used to feed the water troughs. This was one of the first projects AC and Superfly did after purchasing the property.
This being said it is still not recommended you drink the fountain water as even though the water is the same as you get from the troughs the system is not designed to provide safe drinking water.
I saw what looked like blacklights under the mushroom part! I think they took all my suggestions...and I heard a lot of good things about how people liked it this year
the only thing i didnt like was seeing the paint dripping instead of clean lines. and the brown water, but that seemed inevitable...I heard talk of them needing to join alliances with Brita water filtering, lol.
