My wife got us an invite to see Alice in Wonderland last night at Skywalker sound where she works. It opens toady and is worth seeing. I really liked the visuals in 3d! I’ve been thinking about mushrooms for the snail for quite sometime and I think it might be time to add them to the set. Of course they will have some rivets and fire! The story was enjoyable, but not really “Alice in Wonderland” I think “Alice takes Wonderland II” would have fit this not dark enough and verbally to easy to follow tale of love and war. Johnny Depp’s hip hop Irish jig at the end has to go. You can see us, the Snail and maybe a mushroom or 3 at Beyond Wonderland March 20th
Omega Recoil Performing with their Tesla Coil at Nimby for the Do it for Haiti Benefit
Concept and The Show
A team of high-level rat scientists have gotten hold of a Tesla Coil and will be testing it on a living human test subject in a special metal suit designed to protect the human, or so the rat scientists hope. They will lure the human out under this suspended 1.3 million volt Tesla Coil with man’s favorite drink… Beer. The un-suspecting human will be surprised to find out that this particular can of beer has been grounded to the giant coil. When he approaches for refreshment, the giant coil will come to life and he will receive a massive bolt of lighting to the head. This, we call the reverse Pavlovian an experiment. The rat scientists will be training the human to operate all of the machinery involved in the show using the positive and negative re-enforcement of a lightning bolt.
We will have a Narrator/Barker explaining the science of the Tesla Coil and the principals of the suit and the experiments. The barker will narrate the performance as the rat scientists perform the experiments on the human.
We will also do experiments with massive power distribution and switching equipment like that used by the power utilities.
Our show is much more informative than our previous incarnations. We have a larger team of very innovative and ingenious members creating the experiments that no one has ever seen, including a suspended, upside down coil.
Steven Nelson sent me this today. I’ve done many of these things in my life, but I’d be lying if I could claim it was in the name of science. I should make a group of these for artists.
Jon will be available to you & at your convenience will converse with you at long lengths (3days) his knowledge to date. He will also make available a limited quantity of hand made items made by himself and the Boiler Bar performers for you to prove to your friends, back home, that these things do exist.
