the venturo; back in the 70's Finnish architect Matti Suurone. wowza. gota get me one of these pronto. put up shop somewhere in the berkley hills and i'm set. "The Venturo is described as a modular, easily transportable building system, having excellent insulation , low weight and designed for minimum assembly on site. Being of low weight and factory assembled, the Venturo means very low erection and foundation costs, where heavy equipment can be avoided."
so, today, i had the very awesome opportunity to meet JOSHUA WHITE, the man behind the Joshua Light Show. Incase you are wondering, in a short & simple biography, he's the master of the great & psychedelic liquid loops that were projected behind any legendary 60s bands, think--Hendrix, the Dead, Jefferson Airplane.
PIC=F. ZAPPA He came in & spoke to my class about a bunch of things, it was quite a treat to meet him since i am very much a fan. can you imagine what it would have been like to listen to hendrix while watching this shit...? esp. if you were on drugs?! ha! it reminds me of the time i saw radiohead in 01 or 02', gone out of my mind on something...now, if only i had the light show-10 million times cooler. PIC=JOSHUA WHITE the best part is, after class, i had to get up and shake his hand and say thanks. apparently, my class and professor told him about how in the 1st semester i did a presentation on his life, so we cut a few jokes back n' forth, and at the end, he's like, i have a present for you! he totally gave me a copy of the LIQUID LOOPS dvd.
