OK, the first ten "unique things I've done" whetted my appetite.
Just ten more things for now. I'll have to save the stories for another time.

Have you ever:

11. Spent nearly a month on the jury of a sensational murder trial involving an insanity defense?

12. Heard a bullet whizzing past you at supersonic speed, followed 2 seconds later by the ( Read more... )

yes on 15, and visited 45 states not including the two external ones...

I was a bit vague about 15 - meaning soldering parts onto blank PC boards...
Travel items 13 and 19 seemed likely to be matched by someone, though perhaps not by the people I know. Do I know you?

And another question...
Do I know _you_?

Yeahm, I'd say so...though I haven't been around the warehouse much lately.
But my imprint is there - Shadow Engine, ferinstance. Check out my user info page for clues if that isn't enough.

This is so great.

but..pink floyd?!? I am SO enormously jealous!

Thanks. The Pink Floyd thing was pretty damn cool. They said I could watch the show from anywhere the crew could go, and I chose the board because there were a lot of effects in the house I wanted to see, plus, y'know, primo sound.
Oh, and I got an extra paid day off work to do it!

fuck. that's really impressive.

(which Floyd tour? Momentary Lapse was an amazing show.)

Yes. Hartford Civic Center, Oct. 14, 1987. Were you there?
I was a fan (more of their earlier work), but I was still at least as interested in the effects setup as I was in the music. I got to see close-up the custom-built beam projectors that came out of the stage like robot heads, scanning the audience. That, in addition to the usual lasers, moving lights and the - uh, smoking bed that zipped down a cable over the audience, presented quite a spectacle.
I recall the drive down being really nice, too - peak foliage on a sunny day, no hurry. And it was a short drive back to my girlfriend's house in Northampton afterward.
That was really a sweet pleasant day.
