Second Annual Raleigh/Durham Area Christmas Light Skate

Hey guys. I was wondering how the holiday lights skate went for you guys in the Triangle. I haven't skated any, even on the warmest day of late, but we did drive around and look at some impressive lights here on our damp streets Saturday evening. Has the light ball craze hit the Triangle as it has the Triad over the last few years? The light balls are variously made by winding light strings around chicken wire and such I hear, and I saw one guy mounting them aloft with the aid of a fishing rod and reel. Some of these light balls are crazy high in the treetops, and the older the neighborhood the higher the treetops. How many did you have skating? How far did you go? How long did you skate? Wish we could've made it, but there was no way. Soon, maybe, we'll be skating with you all.
