Happy New Year everyone! I’m excited to start 2014 and hope to share plenty of colourful posts with all of you. For some reason, I always love seeing images of confetti testing in Times Square ahead of the enormous televised event. While it doesn’t have the spectacle (or millions of people) of actual New Year’s Eve, there is something rather magical about a smattering of colour raining down on people as they go about their regular lives. Also, I like the idea that people take vibrant confetti this seriously (the test of “airworthiness” occurs every year on December 29 at 11:00 am from the eighth floor windows of the Times Square Alliance office). On NYE, over one ton of confetti is thrown from various buildings in Times Square. Now, how does one get that gig?
