Red Bull Flugtag 2008!
Up until now I had only heard about the Red Bull Flugtag (and also saw a kicker video about it on a Spacekicker blogpost a while back). Anway, if you've never been to one, you should go! A few years ago it was in Arizona and I missed it. Had to come halfway around the world to finally experience it.
Anyway, a bunch of man-powered quasi-flight-mobiles get launched off a huge ramp over the course of 3 hours. It's total chaos and lots of fun. Major Red Bull riot!
On Sunday, the first-ever İstanbul Flugtag was held at Caddebostan Plajı (plaj = beach). There was an estimated 85,000 people at the event! Everything from Aladdin and Turkish tea cups to Florence Nightingale and large-scale green bug named Yusuf all attempted flight (watch Yusuf here).
Here is the launch of a disco-themed record player entitled 'Chicky Chicky Boom Boom'. (Click on the points on the timeline to read additional comments)

Looks like it was a blast. Can't believe how much stuff you've done already! Don't you have work you need to be doing? :P (Don't mind me I'm just jealous)
OH red bull...how I love thee!
