Happy New Year’s Eve

lasers It’s like a Pink Floyd show, but with a lot less Floyd.  Tonight’s Bright Night celebration ends at midnight with a laser light show in Kennedy Plaza that might look something like this generic photograph. Buttons for Bright Night activities cost $15 — for a list of events go here. Keep in mind that this includes the AS220 Café, which starts at 6pm with a poetry slam, continuing through the evening with Rory Raven, Matt the Knife a sword-swallower, and at 10pm Alec K. Redfearn and the Seizures, and 11pm to 2am a dance party with sideshow artists.

But the weirdest scene of the evening may be the act over at the RI Convention Center — a Swiss daredevil family with the totally metal name, The Nerveless Nocks (been in the business for nine generations).  Fun fact: The Nerveless Nocks performed with the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 16, 1964.  Nocks pix after the jump.
