ok, I am the only one that doesn't get it? I jsut don't. And I like orange.

I'm never uptown, but I may be on the 26th for my friend's birthday, so maybe we'll go--he likes that kind of stuff.

Maybe it is more impersive in person.

I don't think there's anything to 'get' neccessarily. It might just be beauty for beauty's sake.

but I don't find it beautiful.
That's what I mean. It's just a bunch of orange flags.Looks like a road construction warning to me

That's what my FH thinks, but he's curious, and I'm dying to see it. I think it's crazy and pointless and unwieldy. Also I'm curious to see how jarring the bright orange is against the dreariness of Feb in NYC!

I'm with you. I'll probably go see it in person at some point, b/c it's easy enough for me to swing by Central Park, but right now I'm having trouble seeing what the big deal is! I'd like to hear more people's opinions as you go to see it!

I'm all for pointless. I loved the random cows & apples.

This just doesn't seem that intersting to me.
At least from the pictures--the orange does seem jarring, which I think is what makes me think of it as a warning sign.

Maybe it is different in person.
