Go Go Godzilla!

[Sebastian]

The cardboard boat "Tokyo Surprise," crewed by two ninja, with a cardboard model of Tokyo on its bow, was mercilessly attacked (and torn to shreds) by a guy dressed up as Godzilla moments after the start of the race.

This was simply the greatest moment I have had the pleasure to shoot.

I rather like Godzilla wearing a life vest.
A nice commentary on the trend for Health and Safety gone mad - why wasn't he allowed to wear it under the costume?

That is bleepedly-bleep hilarious.

Nice camera angle. What event was this exactly?

[Sebastian]

Thanks guys. It was the annual cardboard boat regatta in a nearby town.

That's freakin' hilarious! They should have won... just because... just because I said so!

[julsoph]

I love the life jacket on Godzilla too...hehe!

Hehe, they did win the "Titanic" award. That counts for something.

Oh my gosh I love this

I always pass on these, thinking they'd be boring. Theres one that goes right past the coffee shop we go to in Sheboygan.

Next year we are so there. Who'd have thought they'd be this cool. We'll be crossing our fingers

Adina,

There was a pirate ship there too. Why "ship?" Because it sat eight. Still cardboard, but with masts, and benches, and sails, and a net hanging off the front. With the exception of the sails and net, it was all cardboard. It was amazing.

That has to be on the Fox River. Those people have been nuts for decades! Never saw a Godzilla before. Great moment in the history of that event. Good shooting Sebastian!

The yellow Caution tape and balloons add something as if the boat strayed into Godzilla's private area of the river.

DRG,

Thanks for the kind words. It was actually Lake Ellyn in Glen Ellyn though.
