GRAND OPENING EVENT FOR THE BIG ART STUDIOS AT AMERICAN STEEL
The Boiler Bar Sanitarium and Medicine Show has been invited to Sand By the Ton for our biggest show yet.
A relaxing 1920’s seaside spa that features entertainment by fellow
weekend travelers looking to cure a vice, take in the high voltage of the
Hogan’s therapeutic rays, or cure hysteria with West Oakland’s renown fresh
salt air.
The Boiler Bar Seaside Sanitarium and Medicine Show Performers:
Holly Volatile:
Escapes from a straightjacket; Sings of the malady that led to her incarceration; Celebrates by doing a fire filled burlesque strip tease
Tanzee:
A sea serpent queen who has come ashore with her serpents; Performs with fire on her fingers and flowers; Fan dancing by the seaside
Denzel:
Struts like a lady with a pastel of balloons to celebrate the seaside Sanitarium’s opening; Dances on top of glass; Charms all with her wayward gypsy dance
Mareeshka & Solimeno:
Performs a beach inspired Charleston; 2 Circassian beauties dance together, longing to escape; For kicks — a Can Can!
Jodi & J.D.:
Escaped monkey goes wild and eats chickens!; A hobo and her musician entertain before being carried off to the Sanitarium; A little doll decides dancing with fire is more fun
Lauren and Jon are our MCs extraordinaire. With the help of specially trained nurses, they also present the miracle health cure available only at the Boiler Bar Seaside Sanitarium — Hogan High Frequency Apparatus. This therapeutic device will demonstrate the ability to cure with high voltage.

Kyrsten’s new Electrobite
Kyrsten has drummed up a new project for us this summer called Electrobite Olenoides based on a Trilobite. Zolie Kyrsten and I started work on it yesterday. Zoile is really handy and started tighten the bolts with a wrench with very little instruction. Going to have to send her to finishing school soon so she can learn to sand and paint too. This is going to fun to ride next to the snail car!

I happened into the parking lot at my shop to see what I thought was a guy tagging. I was happy to discover an artist covering the junk on the streets with art. By the time I left the shop most of the art was gone. I did get one pc from a broken shelf to hang in my office. Thanks for the art!
Absolutely Outrageous at Pride Parade!
Gay Pride Parade in SF
We were given this for being Absolutely Outrageous!
Big thanks to Betty’s List for sponsoring our Snail Art Car the Golden Mean in the Pride Parade. It was a very appropriate theme this year for our family and our extended family.
It was also My little girl Zolie Mae’s 3rd birthday and she was amazed at how many people showed up for her party parade.
Tansy and Lauren making the crowd roar!

This is one of my favorites. I love one off control systems like this with big friendly buttons you don’t see on things these days. Someone gave me a button at Maker Faire like this that said simply “FIRE” can’t wait to make the devise to fit the button! RIP Micheal! and RIP Farrah! I feel old today.

Sad to hear fight club at Nimby got canceled! I hear it might happen this coming weekend if they can work out issues with the city. We had a great time at Dorkbot and saw some amazing things done with electricity.
What a wonderful night of entertainment and science. Great to see so many babies, kids and teenagers running down the halls. Reminds me of events I went to as a kid and I hope some of what we’ve made and done rubbed off on them last night. I was asked by several parents to teach a class or have a summer camp of some sort. Young dorkbot. I’m interested and I’ll start thinking how that could work.
what’s next? Pride parade, Zolie Mae’s birthday (my daughter), 4th of July in NV, 200 tons of sand party, sleep and time with my family.
Send me links, and tell me what you liked about the night.
