They’ve got the original sign from the movie plus Doc Brown’s white van and people dressed a la “2015”. That is “Lone Pine Mall” now. 🙂 ---

You want lightning… North of Riverside…? Tonight? _sigh_ (…man, you don’t ask for much, do you?) ---

I saw on the news tonight that someone put up a (mock) deLorean fitted as a time machine on the MIT campus, but I can’t find a picture online. And they didn’t put it on the Great Dome. How can anyone take it seriously if it’s not on the Great Dome? ---

I heard a German fake news report, but done like an official one: > **[German news goes 'Back to the Future' for a day](https://www.thelocal.de/20151021/german-news-goes-back-to-the-future-for-a-day)** > > Even Germans are marking the day when Marty McFly rode his DeLorean into the future in the beloved movie series, with one German news broadcaster recreating the noteworthy - and unbelievable - events predicted in the film. I’m not entirely sure whether they presented it as “real though”. ---

Marty and Doc Brown did a 10-minute segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live on the 21st; definitely worthy of everyone’s attention. It was funny. ---

I started BTTF 2 so the DeLorean would appear in the future at the exact moment in real life (Oct 21, 2015 – 4:29 pm Pacific). And I’m such a huge nerd, [I recorded it.](https://youtu.be/m08xlqPAa2U?t=4m) My clock reads 6:29 since I’m on Central Time. ---

Doc Brown, who owned about 50 clocks that were all 25 minutes slow, would salute you.
