Bostonist reminds us what happened one year ago today, with an e-postcard sent out by one of the participants (hint) . Also, local artistes remember with LED art all over the city.

The boys have done some community service at Spaulding Hospital, they showed up in court all contrite and polite and stuff and so now they're free to go.

Greg Reibman reports the Walnut Street parking lot at amazing Newton North High School was shut down - and a state police bomb robot (and the mayor) brought in - after the discovery of several potential bombs hanging on a fence. They turned out to be backpacks advertising some Web site - with fake money attached:

Police are comparing today's bomb scare to the promotional gimmick which shut down much of Boston, Cambridge and Somerville in January.

If you only see one movie this year, make it this one (Bostonians will love the clip of Brian Williams reporting with the fake Boston skyscraper over his shoulder).

If you get arrested for planting light-up cartoon characters and then hold a bozo press conference, don't count on getting the charges dropped anytime soon. If you plant what looks like a real bomb, but keep your mouth shut, you have nothing to worry about.

Mike Mennonno tells the LiteBriters (and their supporters) to suck it up:

I know I'll sleep easier tonight, knowing that John Stossel has finally weighed in on the whole thing:

... The news media went wild, with television stations interrupting programs for alerts, and breathless TV reporters talking about the "terrorism threat." This went on all day. ...

Tough talk from a man who once did a breathless feature on dwarf tossing.

This is Casey Kasem with today's number-1 hit: 99 Mooninites by Nena Juldea. Lyrics by Holland Dozier Holland Spatch.

This is Casey Kasem saying: Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the I-93 overpass.

Yawn: Video of mooninites knocking down the Old State House and the Pru. But check out the USTrust flags flying near the Old State house. I miss USTrust.

Cruising YouTube for the latest Boston-related videos this afternoon, I found one video of Harry Potter going to Boston, where no one knows his name, and roughly 76,000 videos of people ranting about what chuckleheads we all are (I think this guy is the best). For some reason, somebody posted a clip of NBC's Brian Williams introducing a report on BOSTON TERROR SCARE that featured the following backdrop:

My first thought: Man, what'd they do to the Hancock? Look closely, though, and you can see the unmistakable conical hat of one of the International Place towers on the right. So it's downtown Boston, not Back Bay. But, huh? Downtown doesn't have an 80-story skyscraper. Oh, of course! They used a photo of downtown Boston from an artist's rendering of what the area will look like after the Tommy Tower gets built in Winthrop Square (photo via World Architecture News):

So what does Brian Williams know that we don't? Will the mooninites return in 10 or 15 years, after this tower is built? And will one of their first acts be to eat the TV tower on the left side of the building?
