9/11 tribute thread

[Bandoman]

I thought it would be approrpiate to take a moment today no matter where we are and remember those who perished a year ago today.

O&A helped me through that day, as did many others.

God bless America.

Great idea Band!

I am sitting here @ 8:42 AM and so hard to believe that just a year ago, those towers were still standing and all those people were still alive.

I also say good idea. I thoughts will be with those victims of 9/11.

We did that today at work at 8:47.
It was a nice gesture.

Got this in an e-mail. Very cool.

>"In tribute to the victims of the 9/11 attacks, Blue Man Group has created

>paper drift down in front of a pure black background as percussive music
>plays. All these papers were found in Brooklyn, where they floated across
>the river from the World Trade Center, and as they gently tumble from the
>top to the bottom of the screen some become legible: a sheet with scorched
>edges, filled with Japanese calligraphy; a letter that begins "Dear
>Recruiter," a cover sheet that says "Exhibit 13."

>"At other times a cascade of falling papers suggests birds or snowflakes or
>bodies. The video is everything the gargantuan television coverage coming
>in the next days is not: it is poetic, imagistic and simple; it draws
>viewers in, inviting us to reflect rather than telling us what to think; it
>is three and a half minutes long."

Yeah, my workplace did the same, Hern. It was touching, and I'll admit to crying. I just want to send my love out to my entire fellow Americans.

I would like to thank my company for putting an AD in the papers saying that we weren't opening until 12... and yet never told us the Employess, we were open regular time... I'm not sure if the stores were open but the AD states Service Center too.. Fucking Jack-off'ss

Thanks, Grand. That means a lot, I just needed to get shit off my chest that day, and the show was the only thing on my mind that wasn't depressing. They really got us through a down time, and I wish they could have been around for the year anniversary. Once again, thanks for the praise, Grand.
