Bearette and I have reserved a gondola for a late (11:40PM) river trip among the Waterfires. The gondoliers tell us that the fires are reloaded at 11:30 so there should be plenty of flames, and seeing it from water level should be an interesting perspective.
The gondola seats 6 (they're genuine Italian gondolas, made in Venice) and comes with a mandolin player. We're hoping to find people to share the ride with us .. they charge a fairly high fee for a couple, but additional riders can be added for a very low rate and the more we have the cheaper for all (for a full boat the cost would be $40 each). The trip takes approximately 40 minutes.
If interested please kosmail me, or AIM/twitter to zeke7237, or find me at the big party at Whiskey Republic ...
