Aside from landing on the mother of all air mattresses, if Wallenda falls 262', it'll be the end of Wallenda.

Hope to see you guys there tomorrow!

I'll be there. I'm the one in my picture (Obviously, hehe.) I'll be there with this kind of tall kid named Devin. He has this curly afro. And my dad will be there. He's tall, fat, and hairy. (No offence :rolleyes: )

Anyway, I can't wait to see it. Hopefully the park won't be as crowded as I hope it won't be.

(What?)

Wow. 262 feet in the air. Having been on both platforms of the Eiffel Tower, I can appreciate how high that is. Now just imagine being that high in the air with nothing more than a wire the diameter of a nickel (why does it have to be a nickel at a CF park?) under your feet. I'm already nervous for him, and I won't even be there. This will truly be an amazing feat when he takes those last steps onto the Eiffel Tower.

Does anyone know if a local news station is going to stream video of the walk at all?

EDIT: WLWT streamed video of the walk, although through a camera he really just looked like a black dot. Nonetheless he made it! Congrats to Mr. Wallenda on a great feat.

That was very cool! My group of friends from work and I were sitting in the grass in front of International Showplace and could see the complete walk perfectly. I took a video of the whole thing which I will have to edit up later.

I can't believe how fast he was walking towards the end right before he got to the tower. I was scared he was going to mess up right when he was almost done. I loved it though, thought it was a great event for the park.

I would really like to see that. Considering I was at Biggs Grocery Shopping and I didn't realize the time till 8:00. :(

I wish I could do it tonight but I have to wake up for work at 6:30. Maybe when I get home.

I think the only thing that could have been handled better was that it wasn't exactly clear that you couldn't watch from the area between the bandstand and Tower Drinks. There were enough employees, one of them could have told everyone that they had to move instead of expecting us to ask. Still got a good spot (across from Glass Blower's shop) in spite of that, though. :)
