| Description: | Our wonderful friend Todd has his birthday in Mendocino at "Helios". Thanks Todd for once again sharing your wonderful remote land with us and happy birthday!! ================================= Some of the songs I playlisted that weekend were some of my favorite "mashups" here: http://www.archive.org/~tracey/downloads/mashers/ (I especially like/recommend "Dance Dreams" ("Just Dance" mashed to "Sweet Dreams" and the "United State of Pop" (26 billboard top hits mashed together as audio and/or video)) ================================= PRIOR VISIT: When we visiting "Helios" in summer 2007, specifically knowing it was both around the peak of the annual "Perseids meteor shower" *and* a new (as in no) moon, we knew the stars up there would not disappoint. I geeked out with some help and equipment from Hunter for a few hours over the course of a night experimenting with long exposure frames and then lapsing them together. We caught clips of meteors (3 big slashes of light near the end, especially), the milky way, satellites, and stars rotating "on the axis" of the North Star. http://www.archive.org/details/meteorocino I really enjoyed a night walk on the dirt roads through the fields with Todd with only the stars illuminating. I had never known ones eyes could acclimate in 10 minutes or so to be able to see! a short fun vid from the 2007 visit: http://www.archive.org/details/MendocinoMeteorWeekend |
