seattleites dont care about the rain since it rains 75% of the time :p like in arizona (or was it utah?) they say they have thinner blood...we are waterproof
awesome! I love you just because you get to open and close an umbrella so fast, I could never do that. Otherwise good choreography and great dancers!!
@UwHawk09 The campaign focuses on winter because pedestrian injuries and fatalities increase in winter. That's a fact. Why? Winter poses risky conditions that summer does not. There are more pedestrians and drivers are more stressed because of the holidays, it gets dark earlier, and the days are often gray and rainy. Brightly colored umbrellas -- whether the city's, or ones people purchase themselves because their awareness is raised by this campaign -- will save lives and prevent injuries.
@wordswithgrace furthermore, consider that many who are not used to driving downtown come into the city during the holiday season for shopping and festivities. I remember how scary it was to drive in a big city when I first came to Seattle. Just imagine how packed the streets are during the holiday season with its wet or snowy roads, foggy and/or wet windows.
@wordswithgrace that doesn't really work very well in a place where hardly anyone owns an umbrella and if they do they hardly use them. Its a great idea, but I think it would be easier to try to get brightly colored rain coats or jackets back in fashion so people start wearing them.
@chamboy15 I was just out in U District today and every other person had an umbrella. Perhaps you mean that people don't use them on days when it doesn't rain like the one in the video.
To the naysayers: How much is a human life worth? Pedestrian-car collisions in Seattle double in numbers during the winter (to about two per day), and a large portion occur at downtown intersections. The $47,000 campaign includes many measures such as TV ads, bus ads, posters, and (using a small portion of the budget) umbrellas... It's a tiny amount in the grand scheme of things, not like the millions and billions for bridges and highways. In the name of saving lives, I say it's worthwhile.
@roninseattle I believe most of these mobs are paid by donations from the mobbers or often time out of pocket by the coordinators. I know alot of bboy jams are like that, out of pocket mostly.
on a side note I believe I saw mr. Bobby Bonsey on the roster for the all styles battle for rise an shine this saturday. It's gonna be nice seeing you battle again. Havnt seen him battle since I started dancing I think.
Fun stuff! I think my fav thing about these events are the images of so many of the bystanders smiling & having fun when a minute or two before they may have been in any kind of mood.
@roninseattle You might be interested to know that none of us involved are paid city employees....we are all VOLUNTEERS, who's only goal was to help promote safety, and have a little fun while showing our love for the people and City of Seattle. Perhaps you need to do some proper research instead of just getting your info from the misguided news networks. Don't worry, these smiles were brought to you free of charge!
What you might not know is, this was put together in only one week (from first rehearsal to performance day)! I am so proud to have been part of this project. Thank you, Bobby Bonsey, City of Seattle, and everyone else involved in making it happen!!
Absolutely deliriously proud to have been one of the blue umbrellas!!!! Will remember this forever, thank you so much Bobby and Team Soapbox and the city of Seattle!
