Live at the Ashram — Corrected Text & Info!!!

Infinitymall1

Infinity Mall at Midnight is a stunningly lighted walking experience, and it’s totally safe, too. I sell fast-draw .45 colts at the Old Corral out by the homestead. And speaking of Homesteads, so many folks wanted to have their Avatars live and work at the Ashram, we had to buy an add-on to our formerly little — now quite large — island, which got stuck up against ours on the west side, making one huge island. With a little more support, we could obtain the other two connecting realms, and then you’d really see something!!! I’m working continually on Prosperity, so expect some changes — and they can happen quite abruptly. Problem is, there are at the moment only 19 more slots that are still available for occupancy in the New Wing. We’re rapidly running out of room, and that’s why we’re expanding our island, but we’re still going to run out of space very soon without additional support!

There are several levels of monthly support for the Ashram and, of course, corresponding rewards in housing on the Ashram for your Avatar…

I’ll give you the rundown: Continue reading

Strategy For A New Life

SMOGOPS party member going through the Tunnel of Love & Rebirth, in 2Forts CTF.

We can use the art and science of video game self-reprogramming by first of all motivating ourselves to do the work required to burn off the Karmic grit that has accumulated over the past several millenia. In short, to get rid of the encrusted barnacles on your hull, you’ll need to go into drydock and yes, that means you have to get out of the water for awhile. There are some “hooks” that keep you where you are.

What are the Basic Hooks that keep a BOT, any BOT, including the one you’re wearing, marching toward the sea with the other lemmings?

My Life as a Hollywood Screenwriter

201A

I co-starred several times with my longtime friend Jose Ferrer, and in one case, he starred in one of my “Happening Productions” in Hollywood. This was an artist event in which the “Happening” was an orchestrated eruption of argument in Musso & Frank’s Grill on Hollywood Boulevard in 1969, when this photo was taken by my girlfriend Samantha. The costumes we’re in are relative to the production, not our own clothes.

My Life as a Chef

225A

Here I am at the Kung-Fu Natural Foods restaurant that I set up along lines decided by David Carradine; he had to drop out when the studio refused to let him take part. The paintings that month were by Schwaderer and Hirschfeld.

Within one month, Kung-Fu was in the black. Cost to set up, including licenses, inspections, equipment and supplies, $9,000 flat. I couldn’t do the same today for under $150,000.

Babylonian Radio Discovered

SD544

Claude and I are currently examining and testing a Babylonian Radio. Technically speaking, it’s roughly equivalent to the GI Foxhole Radio of WW II. We’re thinking there’s a matching spark-gap transmitter, although this was clearly built as an interdimensional religious artifact, used for alpha/theta wave induction and Schumann Harmonics effects, similar to a Brane-Power amulet. Potentially, there’s no reason why we should not someday find an ancient SuperBeacon somewhere in the ancient ruins of Babylon.

Sing, Sing, Sing!!!

SD972

Singing a duet with Ron Matthies, RCA Studios 1972, Al Schmidt Producer, Ritchie Schmidt & Dick Bogert, engineers. Album: RCA Live.

When I was a kid growing up in New York City during the 1940s and 50s, I went to Downtown Community School, a small private school that had, as its music teacher, Pete Seeger. I sang with Pete for 11 years both there and at Camp Woodland. I have published a book on it. Singing is a very important part of life, and if you don’t sing, you’re not getting everything out of life that you should be able to. Continue reading

My Earliest Photography — Bob & Leanna Gaskin’s Wedding

leannawedding

Back in 1964-66, when I went to LACC, my friends Bob & Leanna Gaskins asked me to take their wedding photos. I will tell you briefly what happened: I was a poor art student. I had bought a press camera that handled single-load film clips — one shot per side — in 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 medium format. Cost of camera, $25, including 12 film clips, allowing a total of 24 exposures without having to go to the darkroom. Enlarger, another $25, including a timer, easel, change-bag, film developing can, some developer, a thermometer, and three trays. There was barely enough money left in my treasury to get the necessary pack of sheet film, $4.50, but I managed it. The camera was strictly 19th century, sticky, slow and difficult, but here are the shots I produced — among my earliest attempts at photography. I’m told that Bob invented PowerPoint. I’ve no idea what that is, but folks seem interested in that factoid, so I include it. I later took hundreds of shots of Bob & Leanna — in color and black and white — with a Mamiyaflex twin-lens reflex 6mm x 6mm roll type 220 film camera — the negs must be around here somewhere, along with the tens of thousands of shots I took for Tiger Beat, Monkee Spectacular, Mod Teen, Adam, Knight and Cavalier magazines. Bob wrote “Hamlet & the Sword of Heaven”, a treatise on God’s Justice, as it were. Leanna was a brilliant businessperson. That’s my ex, Linda, in the center left bottom photo. I hear Bob & Leanna are still together, a rarity.

Meet God Face-to-Face

88cath

Spent another six delightful hours on the angel orb, only now it’s called “Virtual Cathedral” as you can see on the loading screen. I’ll probably spend another hundred hours on it to get it just right. It contains all the angels necessary for a first-class convocation. You get two tiers to fill with angels, one God Almighty, plus all the gear you need to operate a full-scale cathedral, such as dozens of ammies, magical staff, wand, Matrix, SuperBeacon, Tesla Radio, plus miles and miles of catacombs, where you will find all manner of things for your Virtual Cathedral. Some things can be duped, but not angels. You will have to pick each one up individually, put it in your engie knapsack and carry, drop and place each angel in the chapel area, along with all the other paraphernalia of cathedral spaces. Paraphernalia used to mean “stuff”, like “bong” used to be what you did on the radiator to get the janitor to send up more heat. Like I said, you’ll find a large selection of Cathedral Paraphernalia. I’ll be completing Virtual Cathedral sometime this week, after which I’ll consider a Virtual Synagogue, Virtual Mosque, Virtual Temple with a much more generous selection of Gods and Goddesses, Virtual Pueblo Kiva, and Virtual Stonehenge with models made from actual Stonehenge artifacts. You can have any House of Worship from me; if enough folks ask for it, I’ll make it. If nobody asks for it and I want to do it, I’ll make it also, such as my latest fun project, Virtual Alchemical Laboratory.

Be It Ever So Humble…

yoyodyneexterior

Here it is…Home Sweet Home, YoyoDyne Industries — that’s me, standing by the far lamppost; my associate, Gnaro the Assumak, is on the left side of the photo. You can find our website here. We’re going through a transitional growth phase at the moment, expanding our manufacturing plant, putting in a number of labor-saving bots on the assembly line, and in general cleaning up our act; we even have a brand-new shipping department that can handle freight from almost any nearby galaxy, nebula or cluster, except of course, the Danebian System. We refuse to trade with any Danebian offworlders, and we all know the reason why. I’ll be posting a walkthrough of YoyoDyne soon, with all sorts of opportunities to examine the products we manufacture here in the 8th Dimension.

See You At The Top!!!
