I have never seen so many cowboys in one place. Over 50,000 people came and camped for 2 days of music. I got invited along to crew with the Front Porch and drink. I got a chance to try out my cowboy jokes and generally harrass anyone I saw. We were well received starting our days out at 9am and did I mention my new morning drink, the Beermosa. Now we can drink before noon!
Beermosa:
1 can Bud light
1/2 cup OJ
Over Ice, in a cup
Drinking game:
Duck tape your fresh beer to the top of the last one.
Great way to keep track of how many you drank and at the end of the night you have a walking stick to get home with.
The Art and Music was great, but the people, my friends, the marines who woke us every morning at dusk, the Stagecoach crew and these pictures are what I’ll remember.
What was that!

For the next 7 years the Zolander landing craft will be exploring the remote eastern edge of the SF bay on the western coast of the American continent on a plant know as Earth. This mission will not only determine the surrounding geology, but will be the final interaction the craft will have with the local population. It will truly test the engineers design and the future of humanity.
Big thanks to all who helped and especially Shannon with the forklift.

We are so glad to have such a great place for our daughter to play and learn. Thank you APS community!
Amy: I wanted to make a resin model kit to sell. 1998. And to make my Trekkie college friends laugh. Had just been laid off from job in model shop at industrial design prototyping company (Plynetics).
I made 6 panels- styrene sheets with model kit parts that fit together as a cube. Then made silicone molds for each, and cast the panels in resin.
It also needed to “do” something – I was trying to develop Action Feature Model Kits at that time. (Trademark rejected for “common words”)
That hole in the side is actually a little door that slides shut. On the opposite side of the cube is a plunger and inside is a spring- it shoots out a tiny planet. I made about 3 or 4 of em and practiced different paint jobs on each.
