It’s been pretty busy since may eleventh. We screened the three Pilot episodes of weaponizers at central cinema, to friends and family, for free of course. It was a great thing to be able to put out there. Really pretty amazing. Explosions always look best on a big screen and at high volume.

The link up above is to a recent interview with venusarms, a local online art magazine, whom interviewed me last week. Thanks Niz and Dex!

From now till June 27th we are guns a blazing getting ready for the Power Tool Drag racing in Georgetown, and the first freaking ever Sex-toy-drag racing on the 28th on Capital Hill at the Wild Rose.

There is a lot of work to get done prior. A lot. Really. It would be a bit less work if we just phone it in, the problem being that we intend to get weirder, funnier and explosive-er.

If you want to get in touch to volunteer, please do. We will need help setting up and striking the event and encourage one and all to build power tool racers, build sex toy racers and we will see you there!

In a week or two, I hope to find out whether weaponizers is picked up for a series. I’d love to get out there and boom some more stuffs for you. If you liked it let the discovery channel know!

I was one of the four hosts of the Pilot and sveral members of hazardfactory, namely Jeremy, Paul, Aaron, Josh and Divide, worked on set for several weeks to make this thing happen.

It was by no means easy, but we made it happen. By now, you have either seen it, or missed out and will have to find it online or maybe rent it from Blockbuster. I am waiting to hear what happens next. We could go to series, in which case I dissappear for a while. Or it does not, in which case I will spend as much time as possible in the pursuit of artsanity. Either way, “things will burn, things will explode, things will happen”

And we will be making them happen your you, dear cyberpeople and peers, and for the adrenaline.

But there is little time and much to be done.

The Powertool Drag Race and Derby will be this JUNE 27th and by god, this time you will be there. You will finally have made that beltsAnder 36gritmissile that you’ve been bragging about since 06. This time its for real!

Not only that, the Sextoy Races, a global first! Will be premiering THE NEXT DAY! Holy k-y Batman! June 28th in front of the Wild Rose, 32 linear feet of PORNFURY! It is to much, it’s too big, it’s too fast you’re not ready and you’re not worthy!

Hhaahhahahaha!

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!
