1/7/04 - Like I had planned I went to Providence's Bright Night. My
son and I went alone as my wife was feeling ill. First we went to
the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) and watched BIG NAZO.
My son still says the puppet show (BIG NAZO)was his favorite. It was
a two hour show starting at 6:00 PM and we stayed for about an hour
and a half. Next we walked to North Main street to see Bill Harley
in the First Baptist Church. I've liked his music since I was a kid,
unfortunately my son couldn't sit through more then two songs. Next
we went to see Len Cabral. Len Cabral is a great story teller and my
son liked a song he did that everybody got to sing along with and
act out. The last thing we went to see, and this was around 9:00 PM,
was the labyrinth on the fourth floor of the mathewson street
church, sorry I can't find a link. It wasn't a maze, it was a
spiritual labyrinth that had only one route in and one route out,
and no way to get lost. I found it disappointing in that respect. It
is actually a copy of the labyrinth in chartres cathedral of France,
which I have been to. My son had us walk through it four times! We
had to be barefoot because it was painted on canvas and when I
finally forced him to leave at 9:30 my feet were actually sore from
all the walking! Beside the labyrinth various musical artists
preformed at times. At one point a clarinet player finished a solo
and my son clapped when the artist finished. Your supposed to be
quiet in the Labyrinth but the artist thanked my son for the
compliment.
This week's EVE Vault discussion is about Music of the Future!
The initial writing of Time Keepers is now 3/4ths complete. I'm
still on target to finish the initial writing in this quarter.
I went through my laptop recently, which is old and runs Windows 95.
It turns out I had some older websites I worked on there. I will
slowly publish them on East Coast Games. The first and most popular
is 1 World, 1 Nation. 1 World, 1 Nation is something I worked on
while I was in college. I published it on geocities, which was
recently bought by Yahoo. As I said, it got a lot of hits and I got
tons of pre-spam era e-mail. Unfortunately the e-mail included
multiple death threats. Toady with so many mail filters it's
difficult to e-mail me anyway, so I'm not so worried about getting
such threats! In any case, I want you to realize before you read it
that the ideas in the site are not something I have any plans on
pursuing. Except for fixing the links the files have not been edited
since 1996, which partly explains the style. While I think the ideas
would benefit humanity I think the Off-Planet Theory is far more
important. Finally, if anybody does decide to send me death threats
I'll forward their correspondence to the police.
I have also added a small political section to the left menu of the
website. I doubt it will have any updates any time soon.
