Ah ! So there’s a video of my cyborg counterpart’s debut performance ! Thank you Mary F [@mary26terry] for this capture.
Now the dust has settled, I’m happy that everyone in the arena last night in Vancouver thought he was me.
He needs a little more work. His bends are a little under; evidently he couldn’t hear what he was doing very clearly. Audio feedback is essential in a live situation, even for robots! But soon he will be all perfectly programmed and I will be able to enjoy a quiet drink backstage while he plays the whole show.
A view from last night of ONE of the new looks of our revolutionary transforming stage set. This picture is by Ric Lipson of Stufish – who designed and constructed this amazing rig to our specifications – but always injecting their own brilliant creative ideas. One of the great bonuses of operating at top level is interacting with top level creative people.

Thanks Ric and Rob and the brilliant Stufish team.

Hello Seattle !!!
Great to share a moment here, once more. Gotta love the Space Needle – built for the 1962 World’s Fair; it holds a magic for me. It’s seen here in a Bri obsessive hyperstereo taken from the observation deck of the new Columbia building – 72 stories high. After all the years, I still love this stuff. Give me a high building and a camera and I’ll play for hours !
My baseline for this stereo pair of iPhone photos was about 50 feet. Watching the Sun go down up there was a treat on our day off (well, travel day, really) !
For parallel stereo, then cross-eyed stereo in each case…
How kind am I ?!! tee hee … TOMORROW: TACOMA DOME !!! That’s a first for us. See ya there, good Washington State folks.
I’m using the i3DSteroid app to take 3-D pictures with a normal smart phone. My phone isn’t even very smart – but the app is great !!
A delicious Vegan dinner at this nice un-pretentious restaurant in Seattle. Recommended. You can keep your Michelin stars – give me nice simple creative dishes like this, made from fresh local produce any day. No – I don’t eat Vegan food all the time, but I enjoy it more and more, and, by George, it makes you lose weight without trying !! And so, early to bed for me, to maximise energy for tomorrow’s gig – show number 2 – and we have some new thoughts to try out. ‘Night folks.
