| Description :
| Gay Marriage Day was a major Media Event, so I stopped on the way to lunch to take pictures of all the cool AV and RF gear. (The newly-marriagable were inside waiting in lines - this is a *bureaucratic* event, after all.) Only later did I notice the juxtaposition of the Pride Flag and the Channel 7 News "Color Peacock" logo...

| Description :
| The trucks do rather clash with the City Hall building. Maybe CBTV.ORG has the right idea - if more places start using more "conventional" platforms, media mobs like this won't be quite so ugly.
