    I just read AWESOME to myself (in my head) via the Cookie Monster's voice.

    Is this countdown like the Doomsday Clock?

    I think it’s a matter of opinion.

    This is an original poster from 1967 advertising a clothing store in SF, The Velvet Underground. It was a subject in the song Gypsy written by
    Stevie Nicks.

    https://stevienicks.info/2001/05/01/what-is-the-song-gypsy-about/

    The female subject is Lesley Kamstra in one of her creations. She was the designer of the velvet clothing line.

    can you imagine the mildew growin' on that during the warm, damp summer months, e.g., in the US Southeast? :o

    I did wonder about this, because the vibe doesn't fit the real Velvet Underground at all. :)

    We already went through this. It's tube art done by a friend of Ken's. He posted about the artist with a link to info about him.

    Looks like an electrically charged bong......hey, it could happen

    Cool photo. You seem to be on the "positively safe" vantage. As would I.

    @txcoastal1 , that is a found object sculpture made by David Gibney from a vintage movie reel canister that was part of the Historic Maryland Theater in the town where I live. He also used sections of an Ampex 351 tape electronics and some random tube circuitry I gave him.

    This is really cool, Ken. I could see myself spending a lot of time checking this thing out.

    Looks like there's a light in the base that lights up through the central glass pane?
