What happens when you insert a subtle note into a popular web comic? One of many things. Today was the day; the official transition from Summer to Autumn, as well as the XKCD party. A few hundred people converged on a small playground/park somewhere in Northcambridgeshire, MA and celebrated the essence of XKCD. Randall Munroe himself was there to sign autographs.
Using the panorama mode on my camera, I did a 180 degree scan of the area from the convenient perch of a jungle gym. Bonus points if you spot the stitching artifacts!
Alot of fun and merry was made, then the mobs proceeded on the way. Enterprising businesses took the opportunity to plant fliers and advertisements. Some people came from as far away as California and several from Canada.
After the madness was over, I headed back for some peace, quiet, and calculus homework.
Some videos from the event!
