Just saw this on ASB and thought I'd post the info here also:
The Jersey City, Hoboken and Weehawken waterfronts will offer prime viewing for the Independence Airship Invitational. Three blimps will be in the race, which goes from the Statue of Liberty to midtown Manhattan, today's Jersey Journal reports. The event takes place July 3rd from 5 to 7 p.m. The Hangar 1 Vodka blimp, the Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey blimp, and the DirectTV blimp will participate.
With only 20 blimps in the world, seeing three (or 15 percent of them) in the same place is a rare opportunity.
