HAZARD FACTORY

If what I just got over was not the swine flu, then it was the bac-o-bit fever. Gak, on the couch for about a week scouring netflicks for some hint of life, from me, or it…

Then I perked up a bit and just in time. The pilot I worked on has now gone public so I can mention it by name instead of calling it, that-which-may-not-be-named-for-fear-of-the-wrath-of-producer-and-contractual-blah-d-blah.

So, WEAPONIZErs, fun stuff, i can’t post much about the actual show details, but I feel free to drop some hints.

My friend forwarded me a link on which multiple parties are opining as to wheter Weaponizers will Rule or Suck. I am the least objective opinion available, but I believe it will RULEZ! I know this because I am, as are many of you Lcd minions, a boomjunkie. I likes me the hell out of some explosions. I’m also a bit fussy on this one as I have cultivated tastes in this regard. I’m not a boomslut, it’s not like any boom will do.

We have all pitched the occaisional bottle of propane on the fire, or set the odd half-gallon of gas on top of a stack of recently defenstrated televisions, or pitched a molotov or four. These are the junk food on the boom menu, these are not even appetizers, they reside on the impulse buy shelf in the boom supermarket in my opinion.

I want to see thing flipped up in the air, heavy heavy things, like cars flipped like a bird in the Bronx. Which is to say, quickly, repeatedly and decisively.

I want to see objects that no longer resemble themselves. Car hoods that look like Satans lacy doily. I like the kind of explosions that sever by viciously accelerating select areas of a mass leaving the remains standing and smouldering in place wondering what happened.

These are precise, planned high energy endeavors, and they are not particularly easy to set. A typical hollywood “explosion” is just a bag of gas and a remote. It uh isn’t all that, uh, hard. A high energy detonation is another matter, and I have leared a lot about these recently (hint; this is a hint) although I am not going to say where. I will just infer it assertively and transparently.

I’m still working on several other projects, I am showing pyrosculptural work in a show tommorrow.

Hazardfactory is organizing the Seattle Power Tool Race and Derby. We spent the evining at the Wild Rose in Seattle last night promoting an upcoming event that I’ll discuss more later. It deserves its own seperate treatment.

So today i willl spend most of the day doing sculptural work, and working with fire. On with it!
