Empire State of Mind

Last night, in the balmy 92 degree APRIL heat, best friend #2 and I had dinner at a neighborhood favorite of ours; inoteca. It had been a couple weeks since I had seen her; she's been quite the globe trotter lately. In fact, she can claim getting bit on her big toe by an iguana, while in Costa Rica! Who knew iguana's thought toes were tasty?

Anyway, on our post-dinner walk, we looked up at the Empire State Building and wondered aloud, "What DO the lights represent?" Sure, during the holidays and political events it is fairly easy to identify the symbolism, but why red, yellow and blue yesterday? (We snapped a picture as evidence for our quest for knowledge.)

Good thing my day job doesn't keep me too busy, because the code is easily cracked via the official Empire State Building website. Kind of fun, no? Take a peek!

*P.S. last night's lights represent the White House Project, Annual EPIC Awards.
