LBJ Will Soon Be Fully Operational. Watch Out, Alderaan.

|

Yesterday, Robert Wilonsky brought us a computer-animated video of what the bigger, badder LBJ will look like when construction wraps up in 2015. The video is pretty slick. No question it has a bitchin soundtrack. So Zac and I did a voiceover for your entertainment and edification. Special thanks to Peter Simek for working the 1s and 2s on Final Cut Pro for us. After the jump, for those who care, we’ve provided a helpful guide to a few of the references made in the voiceover.

Bruce Hornsby. Enough said.

Todd Gantry, it turns out, is nobody, even though I thought he was a baseball player when Zac mentioned the name.

Here’s the footbridge Robert misses so dearly. Robert, obviously, is Robert Wilonsky.

Trey Garrison is a former D Mag staffer.
