We Are... Mario!

Funny story: I'm in the journalism department of the communications building on Marshall's campus, about to turn in a story to my professor, when one of my co-workers excitedly comes running up to me.

David (my co-worker): Have you been outside today?
Me: No, I teleported here.
David: They turned the outside of Smith Hall into the Mushroom Kingdom!
Me: (dumbfounded silence)

Sure enough, as I walked out of the building, I saw an installation art piece, where two students had recreated popular props from the Mario series. A series of pipes connected the plaza to different buildings on campus, one of which had a piranha plant sticking out of it, a chain chomp was tethered securely to a tree, and everywhere you looked, ? blocks hung from branches.

I've got some pictures on a Flickr Gallery if you're into that kind of thing. It was a really nice exhibit, and gave me a fresh breath of nostalgia on my way to Spanish 204.
