Playing with my children before I went off to work this morning, I realised how the act of passing through the foyer of your average inner-city office block dampens the mood of almost everyone... drab, dreary, quotidian, workaday...
We were having so much fun blowing bubbles this morning that I
feel certain a large, industrial-strength bubble generator mounted somewhere high above the floor of the foyer in the building where I am (the foyer is five floors high) would create an amazing effect. Hordes of middle-aged men in sombre charcoal suits, swatting their way through clouds of ephemeral bubbles of soap as they fight for positions in the elevators. I can smell the stress evaporating.
This would work for most workplaces.
Not all foyers are depressing - this has long been one of may favotires

One of the charcoal shapes might even catch a glimpse of his suit, splashed with groovy flashes of color, bouncing around in the bubbles reflection and pen in Tuesday week as.......shop for new 'digs' day. |

Neat idea UB. Here's a variation:
If you could create the same effect as in those boxes
with paper/money flying around (at fairs and such) then
you could have different floating objects each week.
Feathers would be
nice, as would small balloons. You could release one
purple object, and the person who captures it gets the
lucky door prize for the day. |

I'm not sure how you'd go, getting bubbles to hold those shapes<g> |

Lawrence Welk, Inc..... I would love this, but, alas, the dark clouds would soon arrive as I make my way into the elevator (which, as if to spite everyone, has padded black walls!) just 15 feet away and make my daily trudge to the top of the shop. |

Unfortunately impractical in my extremely security-conscious building. Pastry anyway. |

On the way home, you were pulled over for a breathalyzer test. The cop chuckles as you blow and bubbles come out the other end. |

Big, huge croissant. A classic. (Somebody go wake up NickTheGreat so I can show him what a real idea looks like...) |

A big puffy croissant. I had somewhat the reverse experience about eight years ago. Entered foyer. Sharp right before bumping into metal coat rack. But the dreary, bubble-less foyer didn't bother me as I looked forward to work. As part of my job I designed and developed a bubble machine which blows 15" dia bubbles 33 / minute. Was still going at science museum as of 2001. Wish I still had that job! |
