Ah, the places that I lived" : Las Vegas 51s

VEGAS
When you live on Gipsy Avenue, you and your roomies have crazy parties and dress up. This party we were celebrating Mexico. I'm on the floor and Emily is right behind me. That girl was a party all by herself.
I remember MTV was brand new. I was mesmerized. I couldn't stop watching. Yes, that was in 1983, a very long time ago.
In Vegas, I got a temp job doing demo's for liquor candy - yup, fancy chocolate candy that had liquor in each piece. (This was not my first demo job) (Paid well)
Marty, back row left, and Jeff, center, were minor league semi-pro baseball players, recruited from Minneapolis to Vegas. (On Sundays, Marty and Jeff had "pro-fun tours" in Minneapolis/St. Paul sports bars. I met Marty and Jeff when I sang in Tropic Zone.) Emily was from New Orleans.
Those were fun times.
The group of us went up to Mount Charleston Lodge often - a very hip hangout with live music.

[The Las Vegas 51s, formerly known as the Las Vegas Stars, are a Minor League Baseball team of the Pacific Coast League (PCL) and the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets. They are located in Las Vegas, and are named for Area 51 which is located near Rachel, Nevada, about 80 miles north of Las Vegas. The team logo jokingly depicts one of the grey aliens thought by UFO believers to inhabit that base. They play at Cashman Field which has a capacity of 9,334 people. The 51s won the PCL championship as the Stars in 1986 and 1988.]

Bayou Fever

Romare Bearden’s collages, made as blueprints for a ballet, tell the story of a mysterious war in the bayou.

“Bayou Fever and Related Works,” an exhibition of twenty-one vibrant collages by the late artist Romare Bearden, is on view at DC Moore Gallery through April 29. Made in 1979, the works were originally conceived of as blueprints for a ballet, the titular Bayou Fever—a performance Bearden hoped would be choreographed by Alvin Ailey but was never produced. The ballet’s storyline involves a confrontation between the “Conjur Woman” and the “Swamp Witch,” who twist in a dramatic struggle for the soul of a sick child deep in the bayou. The collages are exhibited alongside artworks from other years, an effect that accents Bearden’s motifs: powerful women, elders, musicians, rural landscapes, domestic interiors, and religion.

Mail Art

I have an idea - make mail art then mail me something you made:
LT Hentz, PO Box 1061, Greenfield, MA 01302
I will mail you something handmade in the mail back.
The post office will love us.

“lovebombing”

What's inside your wallet? (I can't stop hearing that on damn TV!)

love bombs

I meant to say... What's inside your head!
We don't need any lovebombing* when we love someone.
Gaslighting? Oh yeah, that is serious stuff, too.

READ THIS NOW

*Be wary of: constant texting, shallow flattery and wanting to be around you at all times. This is a technique known as “lovebombing” and it is how most victims get sucked in: they are tired of the “games” people play with each other in communication and are flattered by the constant attention they get from the narcissist.

Iceberg Sounds

Scientists are learning to distinguish the eerie, haunting sounds of iceberg life and measure how those sounds contribute to the noise of the ocean.

Calving: Spectrogram of an iceberg calving (large section of iceberg breaking off) while adrift. The calving signal is short duration, broad band from 1-440 Hz generated by ice cracking and crack propagation. Audio sped up 3X normal.

Iceberg Harmonic Tremor: Generated by iceberg in contact with the seafloor or other iceberg. This spectrogram has a fundamental frequency of 40 Hz, with a 40 Hz overtone spacing. Multiple overtones are visible in the spectrogram. Audio sped up 3X normal.	271K wav file

throw theory out the window again

Ancient village discovered in Canada is 10,000 years older than the pyramids https://t.co/VqmWg6CkBv

So the history books are wrong again...REALLY! (this keeps happening) -- we think those "plant the flag" conqueror people should have done more research before stating/writing/declaring their early discoveries were fact -- then giving them a date as fact that they are the oldest of anything ... please stop, OK?! Those Egyptian pyramids are just a drop in the ol' bucket. Wait until they dig up the Amazon. We just have a tiny bit of the truth--- teeny tiny.
