I misread it. I first thought you wrote they were projecting a porno video on the wall.

Okay that was awesome.

The good folks a Ford dramatically undersold how cool this event would be.

The event was in the DUMBO neighborhood in Brooklyn. Right on the East River between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. WAY fancier than I expected. Passed hors d’oeuvres! Fancy food stations! Open bar! Swag! More like an industry event for people in town for the auto show than a customer event. Most people were well-dressed - sport coats, cocktail dresses and such. I was in jeans and a Rutgers hoodie. I was dramatically underdressed Regardless, everyone was extraordinarily nice.

Anyhow, they had a couple of Lariats set up there to check out and were giving rides in a Platinum. There may have been multiple trucks out for rides, I'm not sure. Only slight drawback is the cobblestone streets of DUMBO are not at all a good place to open up the Lightning. I'd never even seen one in person before so it was cool to get to take a ride around Brooklyn, though. I reserved a ride at the auto show next week so hopefully that'll give a better feel for the power.

I'm an awful photographer but still got a few cool shots.

Swag Frunk!

Swag close up. Not too shabby.

They had a couple of projectors in the bed of this Lariat projecting a promo video on the wall of the building

All in all and awesome time. Thank you Ford!

Sorry I missed it!

Based on the Swag you saw, any recommendations for someone looking to buy their own?

Bummer that there as such a short notice. I definitely would've gone.

Do you know what they called that blue color? Was it Atlas Blue... or Antimater Blue?

I ordered an Atlas Blue... either way it looks amazing!

That is atlas blue. Antimatter blue is very dark - almost black

It looks great. It's funny they used blue light. I guess they wanted it extra blue.

LOL. Not that kinda party. It was a very big wall. Would've been super weird.

Yeah. The combination of it being at night and the external multicolor lights that had positioned around the truck made it hard to get a good read on the color.

That said, it looked pretty sweet.

It was just the hat and the Yeti. I think the logo looks pretty cool, though, and would definitely go well on a t-shirt or something.
