davis_squareI realize I could have seen this coming. An experiment in aerial photography gone wrong.
My phone is now floating somewhere in the Ball Square / Davis Square area. It went up an hour ago and there's not much wind -- I expect it will come down somewhere in Somerville before the end of the day. If you happen to find it, please get in touch!
My email's katie.gradowski [at] gmail.com, or you can email partsandcrafts [at] gmail.com -- I'll leave it enabled until the end of the day on the off chance that someone finds it and tries to return it. You'll recognize it by the giant mylar balloon attached, or the sticker on the back that says "Katie"
Thanks!

Date: 2011-08-18 12:23 am (UTC)...then again, considering some of the SCAdians I've known, perhaps I should have been clearer. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. DO NOT RUIN ANACHRONISM FOR THE REST OF US.

Good luck!

Date: 2011-08-18 08:07 pm (UTC)If it does, and if the camera didn't a) get rained on, or b) fall in the river, I'll post the video for everyone to see.

Date: 2011-08-23 03:18 pm (UTC)Somerville Patch ran an article last week saying that the 'balloon' is actually a "mylar sleeping bag filled with helium, sealed with duct tape and rubber bands", and that the camp counselor "in an attempt to tether the balloon, accidentally let go of the end and let it go floating skyward."
