There’s a Plane Crash Outside My Front Door, and, Well, a Movie Studio Too.

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

If you happen to live up the hill on Blair Drive here in LA, your neighbor will be Universal studios, and this is the view out your front window – a plane crash complete with smoke effects and strobes. I was actually there to check out this wierd fake cave/mine shaft thing you can see from Barham. I wasn’t until I was leaving I decided to follow the road up the hill and discovered the amazing view. Poke here for the BIG picture.

LA’s First Private Power Plant is Now a Bar, The Edison

Friday, November 10th, 2006

Located off an alley, under the historic Higgins Building, The Edison is possibly the least “LA” bar in LA, not to mention one of the biggest. It features rows of the original generators perfectly complemented by distressed art-nouveau murals – lit with reproduction edison bulbs, of course. Disney fans will understand when I say it’s exactly as if the Tower of Terror load area were a nightclub.

It’s not officially open yet but here’s pictures from the press party last night.

The Shadow People Want to Merge with You

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

Here’s a well done, totally creepy interactive experience from Adam Frank Incorporated. You enter a space that seems to contain a person who is casting shadows like yourself, but is invisible. If you stay still the shadow person will try to merge with you in a gesture emulating hugging/strangling. My suggestion, reverse the effect so you enter the space and then your shadow leaves your body – it’d be more “Peter Pan,” less “I want your soul.” It would also help if this was set somewhere other than what looks to be a prison courtyard.
