An interesting storm last night, they call them monsoons. We got several inches of rain as well as some hail, high winds and a lot of lightning and thunder, all in the span of about 20 minutes. I stood outside for most of it, and had a couple more close calls, adding to an already countless number of really close strikes.

Egads, it's been an insane week. As mentioned in my last journal entry, Space Island has had to stop operating as an event venue for the time being. We're on our way to turning the space into a shooting location for film, video, and photography, but it's still a bit of a crunch. I appreciate the kind words from friends and people in the community,...

Hi there! I keep seeing your posts on the BM group and I'm excited to see this ship in action!! Thanks for being part of such a great project.

Thank you so very much for the Birthday wishes Trilo...

You are a very sweet & thoughtful man!

The twists just keep getting more interesting. Our fundraiser was a critical success. And while we didn't make as much as we'd hoped, we did get a lot of debts paid off. Doing the books with the other core members on Monday, things looked positive. We had a few rentals booked as well as one more of our own events lined up. If all went...

Egads, I'm wiped...
bepps:
Well as long as you're clean, that's what really matters. 
Egads, there's a lot to do. We got the books closed on last weekend's event. While it was a success and we raised some money for the ship, we still have a long way to go. We have one more fundraiser planned, on August 13th. It will be called The Leo's Ball, an open birthday celebration for all Leo's, and it'll have a general tribal...

Leo's???
As it turned out, there was no time to collapse. Everything came together at around 35 seconds into the last minute. I believe we had around 500 people through the door, including Nick Nolte of all people. Lots of fun, and a heaping helping of behind the scenes drama. I finally got to relax after daybreak (I missed out on the pancake breakfast dammit), and...

Much less eventful than yours for sure.

Of course... duh!
The frame of the ship is all but done, and the warehouse is transforming. First to an art gallery, then in the thick of things it will become a space for performance, dance, and celebration. LA has seen this type of event before, but it's never been done in quite this way.
I'm totally worked, though. Right now I just want to collapse for another...

hey duder.
Current shift over 18 hours and going strong. A shower is in order, then errands and more stuff to do. A collapse is scheduled somewhere down the road. I'll try to update with pictures at some point...

Framing on the lower deck is in place, now we're working on the aft upper deck. After that will come the forward upper deck.
From there comes the planking and sidewalls. We've had a number of discussions on directions to go with the outer hull, ranging from sheet metal to shiny fabric to layers of cling film over a sea of electronics and lighting. By...

like I said...you can put up your things on your profile and I can put up mine. If what I write on mine bothers you that much then why do you read it? No one else seems to mind. If you think that I am some corp. billboard, that shows that you know nothing about me, and why you think that you should try to belittle me with the remarks taht you wrote last time...shows nothing more then a desperate attempt to bring down something that I love. So just do me a fav. and when you choose to finally grow up and learn to know the people you talk to before you try to bash them, come and talk to me. Other then that, there is nothing more to say to you. I don't know you, and I am sure that I will never want to know or have any type of business with you, based on the way you have treated/acted towards a person you don't know.
lackluster:
i wanted to say thankyou for you comment to me. you really helped me out, and i really appreciate it. you are a nice guy... even if i give you a lot of shit.

But if you do weld, I highly recommend an autodarkening helmet.

Silly boy, no welding for you.
Miss you!.

I have a love/hate relationship with sleep. I love it. I hate it. That's all I'm going to say on that subject.

More importantly, though, it's the return of the goggles in your profile pic. Where they belong. Wear them, leave them dangling from your neck, do a Riddick pose with them ... but damnit, man, keep them on display. It's part of your mystique.
