Even more from night 3. Man, so many amazing and different effects they created!

A virtual lighting rig on the screen appears to be bathing the entire room in white light with rainbow hues glowing around it. The stage is unlit, leaving the band silhouetted. The effect is strikingly beautiful!

An abstract pastel landscape arises behind the band, with a large blue sphere above it in a sort of bending grid at the horizon. The band is once again in silhouette, minimally lit by stage lighting.

Stage lights bathe the band in silvery white light in a pattern that resembles a lotus flower. Above on the screen are large hexagons carved into what appears to be a giant metal wall. Inside these hexagons are carved smaller hexagons, and between those are large diamond shapes that push out from the wall. Again, the effect is of a giant wall behind the band.

A bizarre terrain behind the band that somewhat resembles a skate park, the surface painted in a black and white checkered pattern. On the surface are two solver spheres which reflect the ground before them. In the front sphere, we see a sort of donut shape reflected, rising from the surface.

Took a bunch of pictures this past weekend at the #Phish shows at #Sphere. I just loved the backdrops the band provided. These photos barely scratch the surface; it was that much better than you could possibly capture on camera.

Phish plays at Sphere. A truck is driving a country road on the giant screen behind the band. A series of rocks looms in the distance. A giant match is lighting a structure on fire.

Phish plays in front of a stylized Las Vegas skyline. The same truck (Jemp) from the previous photo has arrived in Las Vegas.

Phish plays in front of a backdrop that resembles an MC Escher painting. Endless stairways flank the scene in the corners. In the center of the frame, a giant silver giraffe with an Electrolux vacuum for a butt is swallowing a giant snake. Porcelain toilets are for some reason flying in and out of various hallways.

Phish plays in front of a giant wall of concert posters.

Copypasta “warnings” on Meta are back. Honestly not loving the changes there but I still feel the most annoyed that after so many years they haven’t managed to filter this garbage out.

Also saw this one on my friend’s car and just had to post it.

Just followed a pickup truck with this as a bumper sticker. Feels like maybe it’s the new Punisher logo but I’m happy to be corrected on this as I don’t watch Yellowstone.

Bumper sticker, a character from the TV show Yellowstone. The text reads: “You need a ride to the train station?”

Hanging out in a little bar in Lafayette, Louisiana about to see these folks take the stage. Pretty pumped!

Set my alarm for 6pm thinking I’d set it for 6am. Woke up at 5:58 anyway. Might be early to call it but

Just got my first prescription glasses ever. What a weird feeling to see clearly again; I’d gotten used to things being fuzzy!

So Apple appears to have changed dozens of camera settings with the new phone and OS but I managed to snap this right now from my driveway. Damn if those Northern Lights look downright majestic right now.

Photo in Marin County, California (USA) of the northern sky at night. A string of clouds are at the horizon and the red glow of the aurora borealis rises into the night sky.

Whoops. Apparently those are appetizers. Here’s the main course

Same array of items but with the main course (bibimbop) in the foreground. Spicy. Delicious.

Holy shit I need a road map for the Korean spectacle I see before me. And the main course hasn’t even arrived yet.

A baffling array of Korean dishes. Are they sides? Are they appetizers? Do I care?

First positive test was Tuesday before last. That’s thirteen days and counting and the second line is finally fading. Goodness gracious.

Covid 19 test, second line dim but still visible (aka a positive result). Day 13.

Four years later it finally caught me. I was going to get vaccinated this week too; so close to beating the odds yet again but my number finally came up. 🤷‍♂️

So I’m sure that now that we’ve established that Imane Khelif was born female, Joanne and her TERF army will be retracting their statements and, oh, come on.
