[snowbear]

It is too cool! ~~




Lawrence Argent's Big Blue Bear sculpture
is now available in miniatures.



Denver University reports that they will be selling miniature versions of the blue bear at the Convention Center.

The little bears are on sale now at the Denver Convention Center, Denver Art Museum and the Denver Visitor Information Center.
The smallest version is $12.99 and the 8-inch bear is $18.99.

12. Nah, it's only one bear.

If it was the Dead, they would need more.....

2. Gotta ask.. WHY?

[high density]

4. I assume it is to keep Stephen Colbert away!

[eshfemme]

10. LOL, I was just about to say that!

[snowbear]

5. They budgeted some money to art... and the bear was one of the items created..

~~~Why not?

[blogslut]

Every city needs whimsical public art. :)

[stevedeshazer]

11. That's the kind of thing that's funny when you're in a touristy craft store

and when you get it home after a few days you wonder why the fuck you ever got it.

13. The first thing I thought of when I read this was Bear in the Big Blue House

:rofl:

The Big Blue Bear is way cooler!

[nsd]

15. Awesome! I love bears. n/t

[DavidDvorkin]

16. However, the DNC won't be at the Convention Center, where the bear is

It will be at the Pepsi Center, which is quite a few miles away from the Convention Center.

It's a cool bear, though.

18. Many events are at the Convention Center

Other than 3-9PM at the Pepsi Ctr (and Invesco on Thursday) caucus meetings are held next to the Bear.

20. Not a few miles -- about a quarter mile away.

21. There's also a huge red chair with a pinto horse standing on it

in front of the Denver Library.

Whimsy all over.

PLUS!!! Monday, August 25th, the Denver Art Museum (right next to the Library) is free all day.

[DavidDvorkin]

23. More than a quarter mile

But you're right, it's not a few miles. It just seems that way on a hot day.

[flamingdem]

17. It should be a (stalker) elephant in my opinion nt

19. The Blue Bear has been there since...

the city expanded (basically re-built) the convention center 5 years ago or so. Also, the Convention Center is only about 1 mile from the Pepsi Center. Denver resident here.

22. I hope at least one person at the convention will take the floor to denounce FISA.

[rucky]

25. Big Bear is watching...

[Growler]

24. I love that blue bear!!

I bought a miniature for my gf when I was in Denver. She put in on a window sill looking outward. It's really quite cute. :)

[donco6]

26. Blue Bear is very popular.

I like him.

I like the dancers on the other side of the building, too.
