Last night we, along with Em's friend Zach, worked to transform this naked tree...

... into the mighty "Fugitree"! As the idea of decorating the tree with vacuum-metalized Fugitoid figures was originally Em's idea, it seemed only appropriate that she should be involved in helping to hang the fifty shiny 'droids on the tree. Here she is -- slightly blurry -- hanging 'Toids on the tree.

We had a disagreement about what kinds of lights to put on the tree -- I wanted our usual mix of white and colored lights, while Em pressed for just white lights. In the end, we went with her idea, and I must say I now agree with her. She also bought a small selection of shiny silver globe-style ornaments to compliment the Fugitoids, and I think they work well. Here's a view of the whole finished tree...

... and a close-up...

... and Em, Zach and Louis posing with the Fugitree.

And finally, here's a shot of the tree as it looked in the light of day when I got up this morning.

I think it looks a little better at night, but still pretty darned cool either way. -- PL
