Decorated Truck. Man, I remember those. I didn't see 'em much out in the boonies near Yokosuka, but we'd spot them if we drove up to Tokyo instead of taking the train.
i saw a clip of the inventor in a black and green bug like suit extremely similar to this on ripley's belive it or not a long time ago (several years)
they are frickin amazing!!!!!
I'd love to know more about the wheels on stomach thing, might serve some of my own mobility needs.
But if you want Alpine Thrill Sports, you don't get more thrilling than Fighten with the Vienna Waltz train.

....I think I must be living in the midwest as part of someone's subtle scheme to prevent me from making hundreds of weird, glowing vehicles- This climate kills all but the hardiest conveyances, and the average "Michigan Art Car" is a pickup done in Mossy Oak Breakup.
I'll be trying to buy tickets to see Blue Man Group in Vegas in May. (Louise and I saw them off Broadway their first year - _really_ knocked our socks off, and it looks like franchising hasn't hurt them at all.)
But - I want her dress for the playa. I know it's EL wire and sequencers, but how do I set that up? Where do I get sequencers? Etc.

There's another sequence with some AWESOME EL suits (and little head-spotlights!) that I just saw in "Inside The Tube", a BMG video that I caught part of on PBS. Really, really cool. I had the treat of catching their show at their old basecamp, Briar Street Theater in Chicago, and have loved them ever since. After studying the dress in the "The Complex" piece, I almost wonder if its sequencing is remotely operated so as to synch with the band...Tell you one thing, though- It takes a shitload of EL to cover a surface like that! I'm still waiting for EL panels to become affordable for covering large areas, or contrasting colorfields for behind wire...Electrotartan!!
Wow! I didn't know that BMG was that entertaining to watch. That's the first time I've actually seen a performance other than those old Intel commercials.
As far as that dress goes it is definitely some sort of computer controlled sequencer (as opposed to simply reacting to the sound). At first I thought it was just sound controlled but when the lights started going up and down I knew that it had to be computer controlled. Very cool dress for the playa and it gives me some cool ideas for next years costumes.
silly me
