Tomato Dance: Photo Pool
You can find it here. I’ve never started a Flickr group/pool before, so if anyone is having problems, let me know and I’ll go into the admin panel to investigate.

“I wrote 63 songs this year. They’re all about Jeter.” Just kidding. The game we love, the players we hate, and more.
From Norman Mailer to Wendy Pepper — everything on film, TV, books, music, and snacks (shut up, raisins), plus the Girls’ Bike Club.
Helping public schools, winning prizes, sending a crazy lady in a tomato costume out in public.
Monologues, travelogues, fiction, and fart humor. And hens. Don’t forget the hens.

WHen I use the Flikr link, I get a message that I am not a member of the group so the photos are locked. A search of the public groups turned up a few NJ themed photos but no Tomato Dance. Any suggestions for how to join to view the photos? (I did donate if that matters)
I just did a plain ol’ search in flickr and turned up these results: http://flickr.com/search/?q=tomato+dance. Looks like the lovely ms. cuttlefish has posted some pics.
I think you can just join the group; there aren’t photos up yet in that location anyway, that I can see.
The tights are what make the ensemble! I love the woman in the background of the photos who is reading, looks up, and then goes back to reading.
Fantabulous! I’m so jealous of all you who could be there in person!
And, is it wrong that I saw the “Elvis Dances With A Tomato” headline in Smyth’s link, and got REALLY excited?
That would be me (cuttlefish – um, long story). You can join the group by clicking around a bit (on the group title, I think – I forget how I navigated there). I think Sars needs to approve photos that are submitted to the pool before they appear; I’ve never started one myself, so I don’t know much about how that works.
The guy not even looking up from his book, like “eh, whatever” in the one picture is what cracks me up.
You look TERRIFIC! (And I will second the comment (elsewhere on the site) about nice legs.) I can’t wait to see the video!!!
My favorite pic is the fifth one where Sars is looking down all, “where the hell did my arms go?!” Bwah!
I can’t wait to see the video, but awesome pics (and thanks cuttlefish/Lauren). I totally love the tights! I want them for fall, which seems to have finally arrived.
And…ew, pervy people. If you’re not safe from the skeeze dressed as a ginormous tomato, I guess you never really are.
I can’t believe I forgot about this! Oh well, at least there are photos.
Heh, Wendy — I think that’s a man, not a woman, reading in the background.
And I just jumped through a whole bunch of hoops to get the Rockefeller web cam to load, because really? A cranberry bog in a courtyard? But yet, there it is…
Ok, LOVE the costume, LOVE the remarks and LOVE the people who are OBVIOUSLY not paying attention. LOL
Thanks so much for getting these up, and everthing… The dance was done at like… 5 am my time so these pictures and postings are just in time for my lunch break.
Dancing tomatos are WAY cooler than working on a Friday afternoon. Cuttlefish, I salute you.
Truly awesome!
The pictures were great, I second, (or is it third? ) how dang cute those argyle tights are! Can’t wait for the video! Bravo!
I’ll post a bunch of photos when I get home later tonight. I have some pretty awesome ones.
After the big event I went to Pax for lunch and had… tomato soup. It was mad good.
(Sars, I’m the one who met you at Soundz that one time. Great to see you again! And way to rock the leaf hat.)
I uploaded my pics to Flickr and the group. Links here:

Okay, silly Tomato-ness aside, WHY IS IT SO UNFAIR THAT YOU CAN WEAR TIGHTS LIKE THAT?
You must have the longest legs evah! And the tomato head is excellent.
Ok, the one with you with your arms raised, palms up, and this really pissed off expression is the best. You look like you’re about to give a Shakespeare recitation or something. While dressed as a tomato.
You look remarkably like my ex-girlfriend when en tomato. But not when without the tomato on. I’m not sure if that first statement disturbs me more because you look like my ex, or because I (apparently) dated someone who looked like a giant tomato.
Oh, who hasn’t. (hee)
