Yup, Carson Williams, made famous by his TSO synchronized light display, now has a new one at a local park, with a lot more lights than before.

15 minutes. Haven't found it all in one piece, but:

Part 1

Part 2

This appears to be the whole thing, but kinda crappy google video:

If anyone can find a good clip of the whole thing, that would be nice.

Ohhh I remember the video from lastyear... awesome stuff

Edit: The original one is better than Part 2. The house makes a huge difference. But oh well. Maybe one day... MAYBE ONE DAY... If I get roommates that are crazy EE people, we'll make something ;)

Ya the original was definitely the coolest, but neat to see his display with new music too.

cool. but costs $204K to set this up??!
Williams paid about $12,000 for the display.

A local nonprofit festival producer, with the help of donations, covered the additional $192,000 for labor, construction, generators, fuel and display employees.

They had a Santa conductor... Santa doesn't wave a stick for free.
