How much do you think it would cost to rent the Zakim for a party?

The Globe reports that Tom Cruise has rented out the Zakim for Sunday so he can land a helicopter on it. Alas, no word on how much it costs to inconvenience motorists like that, but, hey, I bet we could crowdsource the fee and have a heckuva party, just like one of those vodka ads where they fill a swimming pool up with foam cubes and jump in.

I hope that some of the money from the rental of the Zakim goes to a fund to ensure the lights on the bridge stay lit year round even during times of economic recession.

Relax, it's not like there's a Red Sox game, half-marathon and Columbus Day parade scheduled tomorrow afternoon too.

Sounds like a great day to take the T. As a result, I predict signal failures and a small fire.
Heres the full rundown from the Globe:
Traffic will be restricted around the city today because of the noon Red Sox playoff game, a half-marathon, and holiday parades and festivals. To top it all off, officials warn of delays on the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge in midafternoon because a helicopter will be landing there during shooting of a Tom Cruise movie. Yawkey Way, Van Ness Street, and Boylston Street near Fenway Park will be closed starting two hours before the game. The Boston Athletic Association Half-Marathon, which begins near the Fenway, will delay traffic starting at 7 a.m. on Park Drive at Roberto Clemente Field, then along the Arborway to the Franklin Park Zoo. Boston police expect about 5,000 runners. The Columbus Day Parade will also delay traffic. The parade starts at 1 p.m. at City Hall Plaza and ends in the North End. Traffic will also be redirected in the Adams Village area in Dorchester for the Irish Heritage Festival from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

how the hell did they get approval to shut an interstate?
Raise your hand if you're completely fed up with Hollywood getting whatever it wants at OUR EXPENSE and OUR INCONVENIENCE. This is going to affect thousands of people- maybe even tens of thousands, as the ripple effect of the shutdown will last for hours upon hours.
Why can't they do this bullshit in Vancouver or something?
Huh?
Are you f-ing kidding me??
I agree with anon (not verified)
I'm sick of hollywood taking over the city.
