Title: Christmas music and 45,000 lights
Post by: billf on December 21, 2007, 05:14:17 pm

Just saw a news story about a house lighting contest that Kentucky Fried Chicken was putting on.  Here is a link to the winners website:

Make sure to watch the 2007 videos (there are six total and they're great) and it looks like he has videos of last years display (I haven't yet watched those).  I'm sure the neighbors must really love him by now!

Very cool and Merry Christmas to everyone!  :)

I wish I had that much free time to do that (and put up a nice website based on it too).  I'm not being sarcastic, if I had a house and lots of free time to do what that guy did (putting up lights, syncing them, transmitting them over an FM station, something about "wind power") I'd totally do that.  And I'd need my own house too I suppose.
