After weeks of build up - La Machine finally arrived in Liverpool on Wednesday morning - and it's a giant spider! We went to have a look at it dangling off the Concourse Building - and M took this shot from the car with my phone :)
Today the spider (named La Princess) was going to explore the city - so along with thousands of others we went along to watch. It was a bit of a trial waiting with nothing to see....
...but eventually a cheer went up as we saw the legs appear around the corner of Water Street by the Town Hall.
La Princess strode along, serenaded by live musicians on the top of fork lift trucks! M was very impressed by the men haning off her legs!
There were people everywhere - it seemed impossible that La Princess would be able to get through - but somehow the crowds parted... maybe the water spray helped :)
50 feet tall and worked by a large crew of puppeters - it was just amazing to see.
With a bit of plotting and manouvering we managed to be right at the front as La Princess passed by (and the crowd was at least 10 deep by this point!) B was speechless - and this is what a giant spider foot looks like as it is delicately placed a foot way from you!
