My visit to Super Nintendo Land!
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.
I had to fish my drone out of the LA River!
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.
Gogol Bordello plays in support of Ukraine at the Belasco Theatre!
It was an incredible show at a beautiful Los Angeles Theatre, the Belasco. Amazing energy as always!
My final visit to the Encino Avenue bridge.
After reading of its impending destruction, i was hoping to pay the Encino Avenue pedestrian overpass a final visit. Unfortunately visits were discouraged. The messaging was a bit mixed, as the fence was literally tied up with string. i took pictures without trespassing. The 101 will shutdown between White Oak and Burbank over the weekend for the bridge’s demolition.
Status update:
Nothing like Tacos and a hike in LA!
Bernie rally in Venice!
So much energy and excitement. Every time i turned around, the crowd was bigger! Great music and amazing speakers. I met so many incredible people.
Terry Gilliam spoke after The Man Who Killed Don Quixote at incredible triple feature!
I was delighted to finally get to see the project that has been so long in the making. I enjoyed it immensely. I stayed for Time Bandits, but was too sleepy to remain to see The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
Pics or it didn’t happen!
Even with the pictures I have a hard time believing that this happened.
A pilgrimage to holy site!
My first visit to legendary data center One Wilshire.
