16:19 - A journey through pieces of our shared audio visual landscape mixed with the narrator’s
description of what happened when he fixed his handheld gaming system.
He looked into the mineral spirits and saw something beautiful.

A narrative supports the anchor sounds of roller coaster hill and helicopter blades,
found audio plays between in this collage.

31:42 – Recorded June 18 & 26, 2011.

It’s been a while – been keeping really busy between taking care of my wife, who is currently on bed rest, the boy, who just finished Kindergarten, a busy work schedule, “The Miracle Man” progress and other projects. I didn’t even have time to do post production until a few days after recording this…

In this episode, I take you along on two interesting gigs – first a long bus ride up to Lake George, NY – a great resort town where I march in a huge Fireman’s convention parade with the Tappan Zee Bridgemen, then a long drive south to Wildwood, NJ where I officiated a wedding. Topics include multiple units of the band, Six Flags Great Escape, marginal placenta previa, changing the baby’s “due” date, Jacob Celebrity Fashion Show and the Boys & Girl’s Club, camping in Wildwood in 1989, had a video gig in Queens, drove through 4 out of the 5 boroughs of New York City, scouting the beach, Ontario license plates in Wildwood, enormous Ferris wheel, The Skyscraper, don’t go to Seaside, finding a fenced pathway up a sand dune, Jacob’s iPod Touch takes better pictures than my phone, waiting to hear back from a famous actor for “The Miracle Man,” putting investment documents together, a brief review of the latest CD from “Weird Al” Yankovic, “Alpocalypse,” I may start a new regularly published podcast on the Law of Attraction.

Notes from Station Unlimited release, August 2006:

Recorded on Saturday, July 29, and Sunday, July 30, 2006. On this Audio Field Trip, my wife Denice and I travel from northern New Jersey to a wedding in western Massachusetts. Phil and Sarah, listeners to The Overnightscape, are getting married at a Quaker retreat called “Woolman Hill”. On this recording, you’ll hear about the long drive up, the creepy motel, arrival at the wedding, the wedding ceremony, walking through a cornfield the next day, visits to the Yankee Candle Flagship Store and the Hampshire Mall, and much more.

I recorded this Audio Field Trip on my Edirol R-1 digital recorder. Unfortunately, the Compact Flash card had gone faulty but I didn’t know about it. The total recording consists of 75 segments, totalling almost 2.5 hours. Unfortunately, 11 of the files were corrupt – so about 36 minutes of recordings were lost, all interspersed throughout. The lost segments include some commentary about the wedding, the night drive back to the motel, and an interview with Phil and Sarah.

This release consists of the raw unedited audio (minus the corrupt segments). It is a long, rambling piece of audio, and the “narrative” suffers a bit from the loss of some of the segments. But there is a lot of interesting and very varied stuff in this audio. Hopefully I’ll do an edited version at some point that will be an easier listen.

Notes from Station Unlimited release, May 2006:

I went to check out the opening of the new Apple Store Fifth Avenue and I wound up recording over 2-and-a-half hours of audio! Instead of waiting weeks or months to edit it and play it on the show, I figured I’d release the raw audio right away for your listening pleasure… nothing edited (except a few phone numbers I had to bleep). Ben from CodedSignal.com pretty much became my co-host at one point. I met a bunch of other podcasters there – it was a lot of fun! (P.S. Gaurav got in at 9:50 PM.)

Notes from Station Unlimited release, December 2005:

This journey starts off with me and Peter Litkey driving to pick up his friend Brian. We then go to see Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Afterwards, we drive around very wealthy areas of New Jersey, visit Pete’s old school, and Pete’s car reaches 200,000 miles. Along the way we talk about many interesting things!

Recorded on May 28, 2005, I kept meaning to edit it and play it on the show, but I never got to it. So as time went on, it became known as “The Lost Audio Field Trip”. Now, it is released in all of its 2+ hour glory!
