Friend of TFN and the Force-Cast, Sheldon, sent us news of a lightsaber battle to be held at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto at 9:30 pm on November 16th. From a post at Newmindspace.com:
"Not too long from now, in front of a museum that looks like a Jawa Sandcrawler, a battle of epic luminescence will break out between warring factions of Jedi and Sith. Defend the galaxy from darkness with UV lightsabers!
1,600 blacklight-reactive, meter-long cardboard tubes will be distributed in front of the Royal Ontario Museum, where there will be six massive blacklight cannons aimed at the crowd :) Wear a costume! The battle will continue until every tube is destroyed!"
