Look how happy everyone is now. There's no more fire. The rain has come and teepees and mountains alike are doused with water as a final peace offering by Anderson. Let's take a quick look back at some of the themes these contestants have been playing with today. Time, mythology, layers, competition vs. cooperation, water, clouds, triangles, dimensions, night vs. day, and probably a bunch I'm missing. That's a lot to cover in 15-minute segments...I am impressed.
As an impartial commentator, I don't feel right offering my choice for the winner of the match. I will say this, however. Harrington was better prepared for today's match and executed his game plan better than Anderson did. But Anderson instincts were better and gave the match a depth and level of humor that kept Harrington off balance. It will be interesting to see who the crowd thought prevailed.
So, with thanks to the players, the crowd, and Coudal, your humble commentator bids you a good night. Head over to the forums to cast your vote and we'll see you back here next week for another Layer Tennis match.
Play by play commentary for this match is provided, as it happens, by Jason Kottke.

Tomorrow we continue our series of live, experimental Layer Tennis Exhibitions with a motion graphics match between Matt Smithson and Daniel Oeffinger. As usual, the action starts at 2pm Chicago time. Check the time in your area. What is unusual is that the match won't finish until next Thursday. We'll be posting two layers per weekday. We've always wondered what would happen if we gave a couple artists a lot more time to do each volley and this week we'll find out. Commentary is by Jason Koxvold, who knows a little something about LYT and mo-graf. Jason's Match Preview has been posted and so has the coin-flip.
