We didn't see a hundred skydivers, but T-Mobile completed their big mid-day product launch for their hopeful iPhone rival, the myTouch 3G, featuring planes, free-falling, freelance skydivers, colored smoke, mimes, stilt-walkers, BMXers, loud MCs, DJs, many balloons and much brouhaha at Justin Herman Plaza, Pier 39, and elsewhere. Employed people around Embarcadero Center were heard muttering things about the "down economy" and a spectacle the scale and expense of which we haven't really seen since, oh, before the Great Recession. Or maybe the dot-com era. Anyway, here are a few photos. More to come.
UPDATE: A swarm of T-mobile vans has been unleashed on the city, spotted in parade heading up Market Street. Look for one in your neighborhood.
