An implosion!

According to the Review-Journal, an implosion of the 500-room hotel-tower of the Castaways Casino will happen tomorrow morning at 7am. Finally, I get my wish! A spokesperson from the casino is discouraging public viewing of the implosion, which is why I imagine they picked the 7am time. Jerks. (via movable buffet)

Update: OK, so I was awakened this morning by the sound of a large building collapsing. But CNN comes to the rescue, providing video of the implosion.

Let's just say I was woken up this morning by 6-10 loud bangs in a row.

I'm getting caught up here, but I second Sio's comment. In fact, didn't you once say it was your dream to see a building implode? 7am?! Late?!

Man, I'm getting a lot of heat here.

The good news is, it's been recently announced that the Stardust is closing. If they implode it, and I'm in town, I *promise* I will attend.
