Shimmer Wall Gets Lit, Officially

Across McDowell from the Shimmer wall tonight at 8:45,  Mayor Meeker and the CEO of Cree will light the shimmer wall up, officially.  Even though we covered it last week with pictures, Cree has to get their 1,000,000 s worth of press so tonight is the private government ceremony.  Here’s hoping they get a big Frankenstein style switch.  A preview of what you might see: Convention Center Shimmer Wall Lights Slide Show
