Ok, so do they know it's coming? How? How long do they have to stand there to get in?

I want to be in Google Maps too.

So, looking up into the dome of the camera, there's confetti. Why? From where? I must know. So, following the route backwards, determined by the guy with the bullhorn on a bicycle following us, head West on Sampsonia. Now, looking North on Fireman Way, we see some, you guessed it, firemen, apparently rescuing a stuffed cat from a tree. Continue West on Sampsonia and, on your right, at Arch, you will find a giant plucked chicken. Look across the corner to the butcher shop, and you will see someone in a ham costume. Mmm, hammy! A little further down, we encounter some marathon runners. Just past the runners, in an open garage on your left, please find the man playing the electric guitar. The next open garage features a mad scientist, and Doctors in Love. Still haven't found the source of the confetti. There are two beautifully graffiti'd houses at 408 Sampsonia, on your right, and something to do with the Mad Scientist, involving a microwave oven and a lot of aluminum foil. And sparkly hearts. Continuing West, we encounter a marching band! At which point the screen goes black, probably caused by the aluminum foil and microwave. After that uncomfortable moment, we're back with the marching band, balloons, a cheering crowd, and, finally, confetti, lovingly supplied by the folks on the fire escapes at 488 Sampsonia! This was truly an exciting day in Allegheny!

I didn't say he didn't. I said he doesn't "simply" have too much time on his hands. He also has a search engine.

No, Kevy's right. I do have too much time on my hands. I did not use a search engine, nor did I know that there was internet documentation on the goings on at Sampsonia Way. I simply followed the trail backwards because I wanted to know where the confetti came from. I'm glad I did the work myself, I had no idea what I was going to find next! Good jorb, Sampsonians!

ETA: The video is fantastic! After spending a couple of hours following the trail earlier today, I felt like I'd spent quite a bit of time with these people. Seeing the event documented in video is incredibly cool. Thanks, Greg!
