I enjoyed the evening at GBL up till the point they turned on a giant 4 unit floodlights powered by a diesel generator. I have no idea what the hell they were thinking. People on the north side are sitting on their blankets, enjoying the symphony, watching the sunset and go away then someone turns on a big diesel generator and flooded everyone facing the library. The sound of the generator drowning out the symphony, the smell of diesel, having to put your sunglasses back on after watching the sun go down because stadium intensity lights are pointed directly at you. I honestly have no idea what the hell they were thinking and I am assuming they were maybe not. Really a big dent in an otherwise enjoyable evening.
