On Wednesday. September 19th, Fishbon Event Lab operatives were visited by Austin in his Dr. Megavolt persona for a special presentation that included a glimpse into the creation of the massive 8' Tesla Coil that has been an important feature of the Burning Man Festival
over the past nine years. In addition to early photos, napkin drawings
and science fiction graphics that inspired the performance events, Dr.
Megavolt performed live at the Fishbon Pescadrome
with a smaller version of the large coil in his one-of-a-kind
protective metal suit. Earlier in the evening, J Kahn showed his Santa
Barbara produced theatrical short Firebird which featured Fishbon Fire Arts Cell goddess, Rachel in a dreamy sequence.

I custom-build balancing chariots!
Submitted by charioteeer on Thu, 07/17/2008 - 14:26.A balancing chariot allows a fairly athletic person to carry around 1000 lbs. rather effortlessly on level asphalt. And do it all with an elegant style! Now, add an electric wheel, then it becomes the same way while traversing the playa!
Why is it useful?
How is it used?
Where is it?
Who knows about it?
When is it available?

TOYPUNK MADNESS
URBAN VINYL has been a phenomenon in Japan and around the world for more than 10 years. Drawing inspiration from the world of "lowbrow art," Urban vinyl manufacturers are producing scores of new toys monthly primarily for adult collectors. Toypunks is a documentary series about the intersection of Japanese toys, fashion and punk rock. The film introduces Hikaru Iwanaga of Bounty Hunter, creator of the first designer toy, as well as other vital players in the Japanese streetwear and international designer toy scenes (including interviews with graphic designer Frank Kozik) , and explores their roots in punk and American pop culture. Via location shooting in Japan and the US, Toypunks explores a profound cross-cultural exchange between American and Japanese pop culture. After the film we'll use clay and space age plastics to build our own scary creatures and set them against each other in a classic "big battel". So bring your own toys to show, libations and join us at the Fishbon Pescadrome, 101 S. Quarantina in Santa Barbara.

Hack Sabbath on Sundays@7PM
Submitted by lxpk on Sat, 04/14/2007 - 20:12.Hack Sabbath Sundays @ 7PM @ Pescadrome 101 Quarantina St.
The Empowerment is pleased to announce the beta release of a new day of the week. Haven't we all wished there was an eighth 24 hour period to do all the cool things we've been saying we'll do "one of these days?" "That day" has arrived. Here it is, on a recurring weekly basis.
How is this possible? Well try as we might to burn candles at both ends or cheat sleep, there simply aren't any new hours to be had, but there are quite a lot hours sitting in the unemployment lines or working at jobs they hate to buy sh- Well you get the idea. So rather than conjure our own day out of whole cloth, we're doing what Christmas and Haloween did, hijack other peoples' days!
The day formerly known as Sunday now comes in a new flavor called Hack Sabbath! Christians and slackers have always observed Sunday as a special time for going to church or sleeping all day waiting for the alarm to command them back to work. Now switched-on folks have another reason to look forward to it.
Hack Sabbath is a gathering of creative people where you can do your own thing and hang out or collaborate with bright minds doing exciting things.
Everyone Can Hack: Hacking is about more than computers. Hacking means doing clever things in any arena from art to zeitgeist.
Free Play: Join people around the world for a Sunday of socializing, music, hacking, gaming, presenting, laptops, internet, activism, show-and-tell.
Global Sync: Hack Sabbath's Global Sync videoconferences Hack Sabbaths together so you can hang out and chat with kindred spirits from around the world.
WHEN
We meet Sundays at 6:00PM. Our first global meetup was Sunday April 15th 5:00PM.
WHERE
- Santa Barbara, CA: @ The Pescadrome on 101 Quarantina St.
