I am excited to attend my first live Nightvale event. i have enjoyed many of their podcasts over the years. i was originally introduced to Welcome to Nightvale while driving through the southwest. It was fun to see the actual humans behind the voices. I was amazed at how small a cast put on this show. It was also amazing to see Disparition in action live, a badass!
An incredible dialog with Sir Patrick Stewart about his childhood, family, Shakespeare, and Star Trek. The appearance was to promote his recently published memoir, “Making it so.” 500 copies were given away at the event, including one to myself. Amazingly, they only forbid video and flash photography. I was able to grab some pics and a pretty solid audio recording. enjoy.
Finally visited the Convergence Station. I followed a sub plot about a lovelorn vending machine, but I never fully unraveled the mystery of the forgotten four.
Filming the mural that is called, “The Great wall of Los Angeles.” i crashed my drone by being a terrible pilot (i need more practice in tight spaces}). I had to fish my DJI Mini 2 out of the LA River. good thing it crashed onto a dry patch and suffered minimal damage.
The Great Wall of Los Angeles is a mural on one wall of a one mile stretch of the LA River. If you don’t know that, it is the flood drainage system of Los Angeles. There was a river at one point, but now it is a concrete riverbank accented with chain link.
At first i thought i just needed to flip it over and i could liftoff. alas, i had to construct an elaborate fishing pole of entangling loops attached to a telescoping dusting pole i had. Just out of reach, it took nearly 30 minutes and countless attempts to ensnare my little mini.
I traveled to The Salton Sea to meet some of the alternative communities and see the incredible artwork coming from the area. Also it’s a great place to get in some drone flights.

My 3D printer has been sitting half disassembled and sad in the corner of my office for weeks. A simple latch thwarting my repair. I finally sorted it out this week and it’s been printing nearly nonstop! i can even change filament mid print! watch live be3n.com/3D
Things are getting brighter. waiting for more parts.
Area 15 is like a mall of the bizarre and interesting (and also bars). Inside, the Las Vegas Meow Wolf installation is called Omega Mart. It begins with a store and takes a bit of a turn.
Beyond and behind the Omega Mart is the Factory with alien motivation and unbelievable equipment. Everything is interactive, there are stories and backstories and branching pathways. puzzles, games, and mysteries to unravel. I went on a mission to hack the Omega Mart!
