A crowd gathered and was really into it. A group of 7-or-8 year old kids started picking the throwies off the cube and throwing them back again. At one point a belligerent touristy guy demanded to know what the point of this spectacle was and his wife yelled, “Oh Harold!

I think its funny and stereotypical that it's been brought up by a wwest coast viewer. Im actually a critical person looking for more sustainable forms of living, and i guess NYC's air clouded my environmental senses and wasn't even thinkin bout that. hmmm.
