We are developing a ‘Magic Theater’ to experiment with new storytelling ideas, from shadow puppets to poetic robots. To support this program, I have built a mobile art cart where we can perform our shows, with the help of Geo Monley.
Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis and I are starting with a shadow puppet play that we plan to perform during our Dada exhibit this fall at the Canessa Gallery in North Beach. Called ‘Ubu’s Dreams’, this shadow puppet show features Père Ubu, the hero of Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays at the turn of the last century. The premise is that Ubu is constantly dreaming, interacting with archetypal characters from our collective unconscious. Each of his dreams is a separate sketch in our play.

We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already.
Not my idea of a magic carpet but this Amberwing was enjoying the trip up Horsepen Bayou. I took a number of photos of Cupcake while I was out last week as he was quite cooperative and so I clicked the ol’ shutter at him a number of times. BTW, Cupcake is one very large gator and is every bit of 12 feet. Georgia gave he the name of cupcake the first time I showed him to her.
He was swimming downstream until we met and had a sort of standoff moment. I kept taking photos and he decided that he had had enough and turned tail and started to run. SURE!!! He actually started swimming away and so I followed him for quite a distance before I was distracted by one of my little Green friends. You’ll be seeing more shots of Cupcake in the future along with the Greenie. He was a good girl….ahhhh….boy and don’t tell him I said that!!

Staying with the Magic Bus theme, diecast model manufacturer Exclusive First Editions released their Manchester Standard model in the allover blue Magic livery in late 2012.
Although the casting is not EFE's finest, having quite a few flaws and being a fraction too low, it is instantly recognisable as a representative of a vehicle that served Manchesters streets for many years.
The model is seen posed on a basic diorama which is miles away from anywhere that the real 142 service would serve!

We hiked 40 miles in 48 hours, spent two nights on the Teklanika river bank, saw a lynx, ate a squirrel, and had a heck or trip.
Gahd I gotta head back to the 'Park right now.
I left my wallet at a pizza place last night.
Sooner or later my karmic luck is gonna run out on that one.
But last night when I realized that I didn't have it I didn't sweat it.
Someone asked me what I was gonna do.
'It'll come back' I said 'it always does.'
I really believed that.
The thing just keeps comin' back.
I think I gotta get one of those wallets with a chain on it.
Last time I left it on a bar in New Orleans.
Got it back there too.
This time I left it in a pizza place in Chicago.
I'm starting to think that one of these days I'm gonna drop it and someone's gonna pick it up and put a bunch of money in it and return it to me.
I don't know why I seem to catch so many lucky breaks.
I do know that I've always got to appease the gods of karma after being the beneficiary of such karmic happenstance though.
It always makes me feel good to give a little back.
I hope you're feelin' good right now.
Really good.
We gotta help each other out like that.
It's what separates us from the animals.
You enjoy your evening.
I'm gonna go and enjoy my wallet.

I just drove the Tesla (Validation Prototype), and I accelerated more than I have ever accelerated before.
I only have the Formula and Viper cars at Laguna Seca and Sears Point to compare to... and the X1, and my favorite roller coasters. =)
Speaking of riding on rails, the handling in the coastal mountain turns behind Alice’s Restaurant reminded me of summertime bobsledding – sure you can steer, but it feels like you are locked into the groove without sag or wobble.
The electric motor has maximum torque from a standing start, and Tesla just verified that it accelerates from 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds… and that’s without shifting gears, so even a bloke like me can experience it. Just floor it, and zoom!
As a builder of rockets, I liken the experience to Surfing on a Rocket, a theme song I recently discovered by AIR.

I do like the colors on the original, but there's just something about b&w that looks almost magical to me.

An entry for the Challenge Group 52 in 2014 No.14 ~ Represent a Song with An Image. - "Puff, The Magic Dragon"
An entry for the Challenge Group 114 Pictures in 2014 No.95 ~ Magic or Magical.
This figurine is part of a large Tudor Mint Myth & Magic collection I own and which I am currently in the gradual processof selling, except for this item which is the largest figurine they produced in the series and is a Limited Edition. The piece is "The Power Of The Crystal"
The song "Puff, The Magic Dragon" was recorded in 1962 and released in 1963 by Peter, Paul and Mary.
The lyrics for "Puff, the Magic Dragon" were based on a 1959 poem by Leonard Lipton, a 19-year-old Cornell University student. Lipton was inspired by an Ogden Nash poem titled "Custard the Dragon", about a "realio, trulio little pet dragon."
The lyrics tell a story of the ageless dragon Puff and his playmate Jackie Paper, a little boy who grows up and loses interest in the imaginary adventures of childhood and leaves Puff alone and depressed. (Because of the line "A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys", the lyrics may imply to some that Jackie Paper dies.) The story of the song takes place "by the sea" in the fictional land of Honalee (the spelling used by author Lenny Lipton, though non-authoritative variations abound.)
Lipton was friends with Peter Yarrow's housemate when they were all students at Cornell. He used Yarrow's typewriter to get the poem out of his head. He then forgot about it until years later, when a friend called and told him Yarrow was looking for him, to give him credit for the lyrics. On making contact Yarrow gave Lipton half the songwriting credit, and he still gets royalties from the song.
In an effort to be gender-neutral, Yarrow now sings the line "A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys" as "A dragon lives forever, but not so girls and boys." This implies that Jackie Paper can be either a girl or a boy, even though it originally was about a boy. The original poem also had a verse that did not make it into the song. In it, Puff found another child and played with him after returning. Neither Yarrow nor Lipton remembers the verse in any detail, and the paper that was left in Yarrow's typewriter in 1958 has since been lost.
In 1961, Yarrow joined Paul Stookey and Mary Travers to form Peter, Paul and Mary. The group incorporated the song into their live performances before recording it in 1962; their 1962 recording of "Puff" reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and spent two weeks atop the Billboard easy listening chart in early 1963. It also reached number ten on Billboard's R&B chart.
Lyrics
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

Midweek, midday magic today! I have the week off and decided to stop by the Arboretum after seeing the new Terminator movie.... I liked the movie, but I have to say this magical moment is what made my day today. I had never even seen a cedar waxwing in my life, and this guy just popped out of a little creek he'd been washing himself in. He sat and posed perfectly about 20 yards away from me. A gorgeous bird, and the GREEN his feathers reflected was stunning. This has to be one of my all-time favorite, most exciting shots!! :)
The witches like the magic brooms very much. But not only the witches! Much people have special broom in Transylvania too ..
