464 and Blink Gallery
Category: summer
So I'm really liking summer so far. I didn't think that their would be outside multi media stuff at 464, I would have liked to stay for it, but had some what of a headache and figured it was time to go. I think the Headache was caused by those two color 3D glasses. What is supposed to happen is your brain is supposed to take the two images of your eyes and over lay them, yes it makes a blind spot. But with me I see the blue on one side and the red on the other. But this makes me think back to when I took some eye test years ago and you look through this thing with light on each side and back then my mind had trouble yes I often saw the stuff on the right as on the right and the stuff on the left as on the left and they didn't integrate . Maybe this has something to do with why I like the old style 3D movies better and why often in these new ones nothing comes at me, I can feel the movie but sometimes have a headache. That being said there was some great art and it was a great time. I also wonder if this has something to do with that I seem to get that so many times in life People want to take simple things and make the complex actions, and often times Things that are complex and have many layers people make simple in their views....

In any event here are some pictures:

Garden and stuf
Category: summer
So Just wanted to throw this out, garden walk just started and I will be there in some form should be interesting today and sunday. I love that all these people descend into my hood, maybe I'll see some of you out there

Last night 464 and the 3D stuff was fun. I think the 3D gave me the headache. Turns out that with the two color glasses I looked up a light and saw a rainbow well ok color specturm felt like being dramatic. but I see blue out of the right eye (wasn't it green though) and red out of the left. Ones brain is supposed to combine them and yes the 3D effects looked different kinda from each eye. Maybe this explains the 3D movie thing....... Oh yeah it was great to see you (e:heidi) (I think I might have talked also, HA).

Tonight planning on go to Diablo, that should be a good time. I admit I only listened to like one song from one of the bands. Hoping my pictrues come out good. Wish I could drink at the bar and take pictures but then you get the mirrors on the stage and I wish I would good enough to take pictures that way but no way am I......

Just wanted to add the garden walk was pretty good even with getting soaked at the end. My Grey TSO shirt looked black and my dark blue pants looked black, they where all most the same black. It was nice to see some places I haven't seen before........
metalpeter - 07/24/10 11:13
Hope you had a great time, I had a pretty good time minus the headache and minus that I didn't think about the money issue (didn't know the 3D stuff was next door and how much I would like it), {have money in the bank but not enough in the account attached to the card to buy any thing costly}
paul - 07/24/10 10:44
I think we just missed you last night, (e:heidi) said you had left just before we got there.

Glad the photos upload works now I think you get the point, I wish I would have seen the precession but oh well...........
metalpeter - 07/24/10 11:14
It was a nice time, sometimes depending on when you go the crowd gets insane...
paul - 07/24/10 10:53
I wish I made it there but it was such a crazy weekend. Next year I am definitely going to go.
metalpeter - 07/22/10 18:05
Well some guy from the back of a truck, keep it on the Hush Hush..........
I would at some time love to go see the real one in person and some other places in Italy. I don't know as (even if I had my passport) if I could do the fly to Italy thing. This brings up something maybe a couple weeks ago I ran into (e:chico) (JON). Part of the conversation was (if I'm remembering this correctly) was about how in the past you talked about how two of things that helped you travel was 1. Knowing people who lived other places 2. Staying at hostels . In some form you got props for #2 cause I know I'm not brave enough to do that. If I remember what sparked was that some who he knows was going someplace (sorry forgot the country it had a been a long fun day at that point)

I hope people enjoyed the pictures........

who brought the Trevi Fountain??
libertad - 07/19/10 21:31
Nice photos (e:metalpeter). I really liked the one of the girl next to the saint. I think that the vendors need to offer more of a variety next year. They all had the same stuff.

Lights on vs. LIghts off
Category: tv
First lets see if I can ad a picture to this journal I couldn't yesterday.

image

Awesome it works now so that means I can do my Festival pictures. I must ad that I don't work for Club Diablo and I don't know any of the music or really know what is going on, but I love the art and think I need to take the camera to this.

In the past few years the quality of TV and Movies have really gone up. You have plasma and flat screens and high def and all this stuff, not to mention now they make 3D movies (sorry not the same as when a 3D movie when I was around as a kid) and huge IMAX screens. Now they have 3D TV that come with glasses. It blows my mind it really does. But there is one thing that they don't have other then 3D shows. You can never really make sitting at a show the same as sitting on your couch, no mater how big the speakers and screen are it just isn't the same.

That is what leads me to my point. The other night I watched 2012,and I did enjoy it. I'm at home so the lights are on. Well that movie and most movies are made to be watched in the dark so very often there are dark scenes and you can't see anything at all. I'm not going to say that they should lighten them up how would you know it is night or someplace dark? What I'm saying is that like how every show and movie has some kind of rating, they should have one for if it is viewed better with lights on or off or maybe even dim. People go out and buy these costly players and they hook up to the net and you can stream movies onto computers and every TV in the house and all kinds of things on these giant TVs that brag about how clear the picture is and how great the sound is, but if you aren't watching it in the right type of light you lose some of that.
metalpeter - 07/24/10 10:08
Blink was great. Sometimes I don't , I don't know how to say it, think about the entrie picture. I should have thought a head and had either a boat load of cash or transfered some funds, cause there was some stuff I would have liked to have hanging on my walls at that 3D gallery, wonder though since everything lined up is part of the show would they get me one from the back, or leave an empty space on the wall? In any event it was a great time......
heidi - 07/22/10 00:37
I agree, that's some great poster art.

There's a 3-D art show at Blink Gallery, next to 464, Friday night. :::link:::

ItalinFESt movies
Category: summer
So I sarted out Saturday by going to see Inception. Visualy it was pretty good. Good story, good action, good acting. All in all it was a pretty good movie. With out giving anything away when the movie ends I was surprised that I understood it all. But then I started to think about what they showed at the end and started to wonder if the end really meant something else, but maybe I just over thought it............

After the movie what I should have done is gone and got a ticket at tops for Apoclitca . I would have loved to have seen them. But with the festival and having to change (should have just worn jeans). Plus at Towne Ballroom they allow cameras but sometimes the band doesn't so you often don't know untill you are in line if they are permited. This makes me wish for 2 things
1. I lived downtown, this would make going to shows or even Club Diablo so much better, but in this case get in line if no cameras take it home and come right back, no big deal
2. had a phone with camera, who knows maybe I would call someone sometime, This would also mean that when at the Festival yesterday I could have mobile posted what I was eating or something

I wound up watching some stuff I recorded and got caught up on some shows. Then I watched 2012 , that was pretty good love all the destruction, again great in a movie, not so good in real life, plus the effects where pretty good. Then before bed watched Porno for about 30 seconds, ha not really. I'm bumbed I didn't make the concert but maybe that gives me a few more $ for next weekend. If I'm remembering this right Friday (e:heidi) has stuff at the 464 gallery on friday, then On satruday I have to go to Club Diablo: not sure what it will be but I think it is going to be rockablillie bands and side shows or was it slide shows, in any event it sounds interesting...........

Here are some pictures from the festival

Pictures didn't show up lets try this again argh

Well for what ever reason the picture file names aren't showing up in the journal so that means like last time no pictures, guess I'll try a different browser later instead of using MSN we shall see

Well Now I'm using Safari after a computer shut down lets see what happens picture wise.
Well there are no pictures of the pictures where the file names show up and the files aren't added to this journal so still isn't working........

metalpeter - 07/18/10 15:22
I was happy I could follow everything, I thought I would be lost by 15 or 20 minutes in. I really like how it started and had a good time watching it. I saw it in regular not 3D or IMAX . I wish I could say more about the ending but I don't want to be a spoiler. I don't even watch the shows about or specials about movies cause I don't want to see how they make things happen that can really ruin a movie. I'm more of an action guy myself but this was a pretty good movie.
ladycroft - 07/18/10 14:42
It's whatever ending you want it to be Peter, that's the beauty of it :) It was the best movie I've seen in years!
