...laser pointer in lieu of paint, a projector in place of a spray. Instead of hitting dark subway tunnels and back alleys, they turn their attention to public places such as skyscrapers and monuments. A growing legion of fans turn out regularly to witness live demonstrations of their light shows (see video of their latest graffiti missions), but most log on en masse to watch videos of the events on such sites as YouTube and GraffitiResearchLab.com. A few hundred have even downloaded the needed computer code and instructions - something the "open-source" artists encourage people to do - to replicate Powderly...

They then board some sort of Mack Truck limousine, on which they are met by several fine women and a relentless strobe light. Again, the two friends congratulate themselves on being such ballers.
