Went all the way to Paris, TX just to find clouds! turned out to be perfect for a few shots with my iPhone. Shortly after first contact, the clouds disappeared. Here are my iPhone pictures, enjoy.
Local business got in on the fun and even more exciting, Banana Pudding Kettle Corn!
I couldn’t pass through Dallas for the Eclipse without stopping at the newest installation by my favorite art collective. I was ready to continue my immersive art experience. No booping this time, you collected accomplishments with TXT messages. (i found a few secrets). As usual, the reality bending transitions and transposition of Meow Wolf installation delight and amuse.
I have been walking into refrigerators at Meow Wolf since visiting House of Eternal Return in Santa Fe. It was exciting to see that all refrigerators come together in the latest installation. I had to try out the popsicle door.
Fun visit, amazing views, beautiful flowers.
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.
The Nike Missile Site LA-88 is back in the mountains of Chatsworth, not far from Oat Mt. It’s an impressive 450 foot gain from the parking, but it’s a pretty cool piece of Los Angeles’ Cold War history. The site includes some great dilapidation if your like that kind of thing. Ruins of two Buses and a car as well as a few buildings and some very sketchy entrances into dark underground places.
I am still working out how to share my 3D stuff. hopefully i’ll have more soon. EDIT: here is a video i cut together from adventures at the last lodge we stayed at in Botswana. Enjoy.
incredible show from some epic performers. i shot a time lapse. it came out surprisingly well.
There is just no describing the awe and magistracy of exiting that pipe to see Super Nintendo Land in all it’s glory! I was very impressed. However, that impression was short lived after i learned there was only a single attraction. Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge’ ride was fun and included some novel new interactive play. However, the interactive elements of the land were few and behind long lines and the required $40 NFC wristband. (my flipper read it as a NTAG I2C Plus 1K ISO 14443-3 NFC-a) It seems that there is only one quest to do involving the collection of four keys. There also appears to be some interaction with the Mario Kart ride, though the specifics were unclear. As the primary draw to the the park this visit, it was in turn the biggest disappointment. i hope this 3D Bowser makes it worth it.
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.
