Just for laughs, Coco closes State Street Bridge 10-Jun-12 – (Above) What can only be described as a miniature replica of the Millennium Park sculpture commonly known as “The Bean,” on wheels, flying over the gap in the State Street Bridge Sunday morning. The bridge was raised for stunts performed for Conan O’Brien’s television show, taping this week in front of a live audience at the Chicago Theater. (Click on images to view larger versions.) Between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., six objects were sent up the south end of the bridge – a giant hot dog, a miniature version of the Picasso sculpture in Daley Plaza, a fake cow, a small yellow car, The Bean, and finally a dummy on a scooter. The Picasso and the dummy did not make it, however. The Picasso may have struck the north lip of the bridge. The dummy appeared to veer too far right. Both landed in the Chicago River, where a police boat fished them out.
