      That article is great! I loved the cool headed “insider” they interviewed.

The bridge would be lit blue or pink for different respective awarenesses. Then just on a random date for no reason it’s lit red or green.

      He did get arrested on it once, but because he got seen and cornered, they thought he was a jumper. They never put it together and had do do therapy sessions, but no fines or time.

      Things like this and a lot of gymnastics and srunt acenes he slowly collected and put into a reel. Sent it off to LA and next thing we know he’s doing stunts in huge films we all know, but I won’t mention for anonymity. Dude’s got a very extensive iMDB page now, though.
