Idiotarod 2008
Brooklyn, NY - Peter - Monday, January 28th, 2008 : goo

"...The Iditarod is the famous long-distance race in which yelping dogs tow a sled across Alaska. The Idiotarod
is pretty much the same thing, except that instead of dogs, it's people, instead of sleds, it's shopping carts, and instead of Alaska it's New York City..."

I missed watching it this year :(
I also told some of my friends in the UK about this event and they didn't seem to believe me. I just showed them these photos and they are amazed :D

Oh, I had no idea what this was. Looks like this was an episode of CSI:NY one time. :)

i want that wish you were here picture as a postcard, and i want loads of copies so i can always send it to people. seeing it on it's own it just looks totally bonkers, and like a wish you were here of a wild mindset.
EW: This really made me smile.

Didn't realize they were doing it in NYC too. It's here in Portland as well and in San Fran.
deadkidsyntax: Simply amazing.
EvilGentleman: 29th Jan 2008 - 08:57 GMT
Nice way to spend a day. I wonder how it would have been to do it here in Montreal? Shopping carts are usually very tricky to push in the snow.
KaraKurimi: 29th Jan 2008 - 14:54 GMT
CRUD totally need to do this next year. That is an awesome coverage piece, with all those pictures.
chrissy: these photos are so new york!
zagg: 29th Jan 2008 - 21:53 GMT
Is it just me or do the carts and costumes not seem as interesting as they were last year and the year before? I've never seen Idiotarod in person but I've always been a fan of the pictures.
++++ eww to the 2 girls, 1 cup !!!! heh.

Alaska, From Above
Six hours into the 12 hour flight from Toronto to Tokyo, I woke up and started taking these pictures. These are posted as they were taken, just reduced in size. According to the flight attendant, we were flying over Alaska....
