X-Rated Motels of the Future

 I love to read articles like this one. It's funny how different reporters perceived EPCOT Center, it's attractions, it's impact etc. This article's fun because it mentions X-rated Motels as well as Horizons. 

 It's no surprise to me because the few times we stayed overnight in the Disney area we stayed at horrible roach motels on 192. You see folks, my mom's a very interesting person. She didn't (and still doesn't) give a shit about "a nice Hotel". She wants the cheapest and that's that. 

 Mom: I'm going in to check the rates. You kids hide on the floor so they don't see you.

 Me: There's a man laying in the bushes.

 Mom: Well that's none of our God damned business!

 Dad: If he messes with us he'll be running around without an ass.

Mom: Yes, sir, what are your room rates?

Clerk: $3 an hour, baby.

Mom: Wonderful! I'll take 6 hours please.

Mom: Hoot take that bucket down and get some ice.

Me: I'm afraid, Mom. I heard gun shots.

Mom: THOSE ARE THE GOD DAMNED DISNEY FIREWORKS!

Me: But we saw the fireworks.

Mom: They shoot 'em off all night. Everybody knows that.

Me: Can't you send sis? She's older than me.

Mom: Hell no! She'll get raped or something. Get going.

Me: They have a juice machine by the ice. Can I have some change for an orange juice?

Mom: How much are they?

Me: 25 cents

Mom: YOU CAN BUY A WHOLE GOD DAMNED ORANGE TREE FOR 25 CENTS!!

The good 'ol days:)

Friday night was great!

Friday night at TASTE was amazingly fun! We met some kick ass "Last of the Cool People" like Eric_W and Joe. Hadley's Hope rocked as always and we all drank too much. Kyle and I, even though I was pretty smashed, did a duet of "If We Can Dream It...". (Above)

I had a pocketful of gifts, actual film strips of the Red Head girl, that Chief and I handed out.

More pics soon:)

Mesa Verde Control Booth

Look at these two crappy shots! They were all I had when Horizons closed and, like I've said before, who would want to go on living if this was the only record of this scene? Not me.

The girl however looks better in these older shots for some reason.

Hmmm.

In the future we will have no need for Plasma, LCD, or HD. Mankind will actually revert back to TV tube technology. It's true. The Orion Company will lead the global market and produce these monitors from corn based plastics.

SEE! Here are three of the four Orion computers at work in the control booth. Sell your Apple stock NOW! Box up your HD flat and mail it to Hoot and Chief at once! I'm serious because in 2083 you're going to look very uncool:(

They have printers in the future too. They got tired of not having a hard copy of images so a printer rebirth began.
Seriously though, here I go again praising the level of detail in this attraction. Simply amazing.

"Average Front Range 4200. Moderate Temp".

I loved Horizons.

Art Deco Background for Kali Part Three

This was the very right of the painting. Notice the Nickelodeon (upper right) sign that's part of the next scene. You can see the glass block window of the kitchen and an open animatronic control cabinet in the lower right. Our secret hide out was on the left behind that red area:)

Video Clip Explained

^

When we shot this clip we were under the empty Harvester seen here in the lower center. It was a hollow fiberglass prop with most of the back end missing. Of course, one could go under the groves if one were so inclined to walk like an ape through the metal supports and plywood. Chief and I, being two and not one, did it anyway and we liked it under there. The Harvester on the right is one in the video clip.

Here's a shot looking up at the Harvester. There was just enough room to place a camera as you see in the video posted by Chief. This happened totally by chance because I was peeking out through the hole and saw how fucking cool it looked.

This was one of those random times when we happened upon something that was too good for words. It had to be filmed right then and there.

I can't tell you how many times I watched this footage and I even made a six hour VHS loop of it that played over and over again.
