Pietmond History (New Pietmond History?)

Thinking of writing the above (title of post). Background must be in Jeogeot explorations from May 2009 to October 2010, or the year and a half immediately before the official start of the Pietmond village (incorporation) in mid-October 2010. In this history, of course, we must also include Teepot, which we will attempt to prove is just another form of Pietmond on the “opposite” side of the Jeogeot continent. In this way, it is the only true sister city to Pietmond, a twin city really. Also include several fragment villages of Pietmond, including Lakeview and Crabwoo (after the demise of original Pietmond, which lasted the longest so far), and then also Norum Center, 7 Stones, Boris, and Carcass-1, none of which lasted more than about a month. Actually I believe Carcass-1 lasted 2 months, but with not much activity the second month. Likewise New Pietmond has entered its second month of existence, and I predict the building there will slow down as well — running out of prims, ya know. So this is a pretty big project, this New Pietmond history compilation.

Hucka D.:

Keep reading.

bb:

Thanks, Hucka D. So we’ll start with pre-Pietmond Jeogeot, move to Sep-April 2010-2011 Pietmond, the main phase, and then August-Feb. or early March 2011-2012 Pietmond, which will include Teepot, with an explanation that Teepot is the same as Pietmond. Like original Pietmond splintered off into the 2 separate communities of Crabwoo (religious center) and Lakeview (art center), so 2nd stage Pietmond, which started off as Teepot this time ’round, gave its energy to 7 Stones and then Boris after its own demise. Boris can even be seen as another incarnation of Teepot. And actually 7 Stones kind of still exists, Hucka D., which I now call Philo. But it’s quite spread out in comparison. I could still re-create it, however.

Hucka D.:

Philo represents the dormant phase of Pietmond, and still might when you give up the land again. Is there anywhere else in Philo you can insert the 10×10? Check it out sometime, for New Pietmond will not exist into the spring. You have Frank and Herman Einstein to focus on now, the parks I mean. Time for some tracing.

bb:

The large ship that came to destroy 2nd phase Pietmond — did it come from Philo, even?

Hucka D.:

It came from Michael. It was called the Synching Ship. It divided and conquered Pietmond, a whole damn sink. The ship became the sink, for ill purposes. But now you have New Pietmond. And the X-Spot, a new ship of types, has landed and provided a nest for the town. It is also an expansion of the Pietmond South Gallery in 1st stage Pietmond. If you can buy the bottom of the sink again, go ahead and do it. Green light from me here. Not sure about the others.

bb:

It could be that I even return to Teepot, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Probably not[ though].

bb:

Nah.

Hucka D.:

You go.

bb:

And even Norum can be seen as a type of dormant Pietmond, or a Pietmond still latched onto mother Chilbo. For Chilbo is Pietmond’s mother, and Norum through Chilbo.

Hucka D.:

Sapphire. That is Sapphire. The Karoz Problem.

bb:

But May 2009 – August 2009 Noru wasn’t a town per se, but still just a collection of buildings sitting not in even Greater Chilbo in those days. And neither was August – Feb 2009/2010 Aoteroa, although that was supposedly the original site of Pietmond… hmmm, hafta think along those lines, then. And then the return to Noru after Baker Bloch’s trip to England started a 2nd phase Noru, but still not a town. Instead we have another superstructure as a focus: the Blue Feather Gallery, which is 4 structures in one, actually, and a direct cousin to the Big E Gallery of Aotearoa.

Hucka D.:

Next you must get rid of the X-Spot Gallery. Or else put something totally different there. Maybe MapS?

bb:

Is the X-Spot Gallery another ship, then, Hucka D.? After all, its basic module is a spacecraft.

Hucka D.:

Yes. It is a converted spaceship, like the Galactic Gallery before it.

bb:

It’s at this central watering hole, The Hole in the Wall, that conversations about the relevance of Pietmond in Your Second Lyfe came about. Knock. Knick Knack Knock. They talked of Lion’s Roar and New Pietmond and how the two are related.

“I had no corporeal existence in Lion’s Roar”, states Knock. “Thank you for building New Pietmond, which is the same as Lion’s Roar only better — for the winter anyway, as we’ve discussed. We sit at the Watering Hole[ for that is its name] and discuss more. We discuss Lion’s Roar and New Pietmond and Old Pietmond and Billfork and Pitchfork. Hermania. We discuss a lot of things, baker b.” “Yes, thank you for all that, Knock,” replies baker b. “But where is The Table in all this? Physically it is still back in Philo.” “Good you saw me in the future, in miniature, inside the 3333 Circle at Supersity. That’s called Future City to us. I am an Imaginary Man there, in this future town. You must pick and choose which path to take toward the middle, toward the end of the future. I am on those rocks before you get there, a lookout[ of sorts]. Where is the 4th and all that.” “Thanks once more, Knock,” replies baker b. again. “Carcass-8 is coming up sometime, but I’m not sure it will be called a Carcass at all any more.” “No,” says Knock back. “It will be called by its actual name, like Red 7 before it. Red 7 is the last carcass and also the first carcass beyond the concept of the carcasses. Next is Super 8.”

bb:

Can’t wait!

Snapshot7209_002
The Hole in the Wall franchise subsequently expands to Greater Philo, just in case.

The…

… emptying of the X-Spot Gallery will come soon, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Not soon enough.

bb:

Oh really?

Hucka D.:

Knock wishes to talk.

Knock:

I see you found “Imaginary Man”. I am.

bb:

Very nice song, Knock.

Knock:

We must approach the table soon. Can you see?

bb:

Not sure.

Knock:

You saw me inside the 3333 circle. In the future. We will walk together more there. Beyond the Red 7.*

bb:

I think you also like the Residents… secretly.

Knock:

I like them because they help defuse the Beatles hoax… legend I mean (smiles).

bb:

Do you know the mystery of the Paul is Dead hoax?

Knock:

The solution you mean? It’s within the Village Green.

—–

bb:

What is the 3333?

Knock:

The future. Future City future.

Hucka D.:

He[ Knock] will return. He will be your Aid. Slowly you will move toward the center, toward the cairn. He will enter and you will not. Then you will see. 4th.

—–

* Knock is referencing my experience walking around the Supersity sacred hoop this past Sunday, interesting for certain. I’ve been dwelling on some work related stuff recently after hours, and not in an altogether good way. I was dwelling when I visited the hoop for instance. I decided to start chanting 2233 while walking clockwise just outside the rock circle of the hoop in an attempt to mute these chains of thoughts. I shortly got the impression that 2233 was opening up the past inside the hoop or circle. 2233 was the Baker Blinker Blog in the past now (this blog contains exactly 2233 posts), and through it, toward the center, I could see further into the past. In a way the central cairn is 1Pink, the largest carcass. So then I reversed my direction around the sacred hoop and instead chanted 3333. My impression is that this opened the future, in correspondence with me calling this place the Future City beforehand. The future is the Frank and Herman Einstein Blog beyond the Baker Blinker Blog, beyond the 2233. The circle of rocks represents at least the beginning posts of the blog, in line with the 80 post piece of art found nearby. The center of the *3333* circle is probably death or exit, but more than that — the totality of the soul in the 4 directions. It is the endpoint of the soul itself. So the past leads to condensing the energy of the totality into a microcosm, which is the Baker Blinker Blog; which is Second Life as well. 3333 is beyond the microcosm and into the Greater Whole. The circumference of rocks around the cairn is the *present*… I am in the Frank and Herman Einstein Blog now but it has just begun, really. The whole 2233-3333 walk reminded me of a figure 8, with the upper circle the past and the lower circle the future. But it’s also a kind of mobius figure 8 if so. You need both past (where you came from) and future (where you’re going), but it’s all viewed from the perspective of the present — where you are standing or walking or whatever *right now*.

Mobius-8

Thoughts…

Made some more rather major changes to Pietmond in the last day, including the creation of a new gallery in Garage #1 of town (which has been significantly enlarged in the process), and also the insertion of the Urbania Rowhouses Freebie by Sarg Bjornson in place of the Luv Shack underneath the TILE Tower, which represents a significant upgrade of usable town space as well. But what to put in it? I’ve already inserted 30 of my collages into the Garage #1 gallery (not yet garnering an official name), including the last 3 series of the Art 10×10 (Hidalgo, Wheeler, and Jasper collage series). I’ll give some details later — who knows what will change in New Pietmond in the meantime.

Snapshot7051_002

Oh, and I’ve also made a gallery of the Stairs #1 builing. I logically call it the Stairs Gallery, but pun on “stares” (like in staring at the jawdropping art within). Inside are now found 15 or 16 pieces by Kollage Kid, and then the bridge connects the top of this structure with the Hobo Squat structure next door, where I believe additional Kollage Kid pieces will be displayed. A path may be that the X-Spot Gallery (presently containing the same Kollage Kid collages, plus a couple more by him) will be gradually emptied for another project. This week I should get to the text generation for the 2 Jeogeot through Art and Word related posts below.

Then we come to the Knocks or the Knicks, the town’s official rock band. They’ve been rehearsing in Garage #2, and already complaints have been registered from the Stairs Gallery owners about the noise (and the band, in turn, complaining about the renovation noise coming from their gallery). It’s been a rather bitter fight, with Don (Dr. Blood’s brother) threatening to blow up the bridge connecting the two parts of the gallery. Don and Rich’s parents just want peace — “Why don’t you ask if you can exhibit some art in their gallery, Rich?” they might suggest. Rich (same as Dr. Blood apparently) has been researching the history of the town. Wallace3, aka Karoz Blogger, might surface soon. But it all could be just Baker Bloch and Karoz having some rock music generating fun. They are brothers aren’t they? Karoz instead researches Jeogeot history. TILE. His pictures are up now in the House of Truth they grew up in. Now they just sleep around town anywhere, basically. “What happened to your parents Karoz?” I asked. “Sapphire? I only had a mother that I knew. Gene Fade the mossman was supposedly my real father. Sapphire wasn’t my real mother. Instead a gypsy was. I spent my infancy on The Moon, but was given to Sapphire at a rather early age and stayed in Yeot and then Norum. I became Aqua Teen beyond Aquamarine and moved into a replica of my grandparent’s old house in Yeot.” “Blue Feather Douglas?” I asked. “Nata Lee and Natha Neil,” came the answer. “I remember tea parties, and a doll house. A house that looked *exactly* like their house.” Karoz paused, examined his nails.

“Karoz, talk about Peter if you can.”

“Peter was our manager. Told us we could make it big, but we had to move out of Norum. Said that there was an up and coming town he knew out in Sunklands that we could take over, as it were. A single sink involved. So Pietmond was eventually born. Peter’s Pietmond.”

“So Baker Bloch was with you in Norum.”

“Of course,” Karoz replies. “He’s been here since the beginning.”

“What of Dr. Blood?”

Hucka D.:

I hate to interrupt your dialog baker b., but we must move on to something else. Plus I was suppose to interrupt you at that point. Anything else?

bb:

You said you had something else to talk about.

Hucka D.:

Pietmond is an onion to peel. Proverbial. You have two older versions even — complicated now. Cool and complicated. A gift for you, baker b. Lion’s Roar but more. Lions’ Roar carried over. Winter… soon.

Pietmond:

Jack-o. Really-o. Born-o. Insignificanti-o. Right-o. And rong-o. Are-o you-o going-o to-o… to help me?

bb:

Yes Pietmond. I’ll try.

Pietmond:

Are-o help-o you. Me. Try to get high? No. Try to get even. Try to get. Try. Try.

bb:

Try to change consciousness?

Shark (referencing a severed hand): You found my record, didn’t you? Now… spin it.

“The band rehearsed in your Garage #2. They were *the* band of the town, like the Conchords were for Little New Zealand, or they were planned for as such (smile). Dr. Blood planned this out with you. The owners of the new Stairs Building Gallery complained of the noise. The Knicks (variant band) said: stuff cotton in your ears you freaks, and laughed derisively. Both brothers were there. Dan camped out in the TILE Tower for quite a while, but his official place was Fleep’s Cottage. Both grew up in the House of Truth, and the brothers’ dad owned both it and the garage and possibly the land occupied by Fleep’s Cottage and the TILE Tower. What did they think of the TILE religion? I suppose they followed it. The church use to be in the SoSo Village, but was later replaced by Stairs Building #2. *Their* New Pietmond sort of evolved backwards from yours, with the X-Spot Gallery being the *last* addition. The X-Spot Gallery signaled the band’s fiscal triumph. Questions?”

bb:

How did the Knicks acquire the art of the X-Spot?

Hucka D.:

They bought it. And they also bought the art of your 10×10.

bb:

Did they know of Peter Gabriel, supposedly also in Second Life?

Hucka D.:

*Yes.* They knew of the Sunklands Initiative after a while. Or at least Dr. Blood did.

bb:

And they knew of Z.

Hucka D.:

Yes. He came to town as well, although he wasn’t an official resident. I don’t think.

bb:

Maybe he was.

Hucka D.:

A possibility.

bb:

So it really looks like New Pietmond is “just” a continuation of Lion’s Roar from October. I didn’t go back there all of November, Hucka. I hope the bottles are all right.

Hucka D.:

Knicks, the name of the variant band, is a key, because you’ve compared both Lion’s Roar and New Pietmond — and also, now, Supersity just north of Frank Park — with New York City. But it’s the Kniks, without a “c”. Just looking at your type and over your shoulder and such.

bb:

Spooky. So Hucka, we’re going quite a long way in explaining who actually might have *lived* in New Pietmond.

Hucka D.:

The Kniks obviously. Do you know where the primary Knik is? It’s in… well, I’ll let you find out.

bb:

Knickerbocker is a resident of New York… knicks, then, for sure. They contacted the real world through the Tower of A. Mann, which is a type of psychic parallel of sorts to The Statue of Liberty — Lady Liberty.

Hucka D.:

Mossmen were probably also in New Pietmond. They may have come from the direction of Supersity. Mossmen are depicted in the 10×10 and in SoSo Gallery[ with its Oblong series from that overall opus].

bb:

Tower of A. Mann is obviously related to my recent Facebook post about the many Kinks’ songs ending with “man,” a number of which are now part of the Sunklands Initiative project, Hucka D. A good example is “Powerman”, a unique and rather stunning track from Lola. And this makes me think that the Tower of A. Man is the tower of Powerman, or the Tower of Power (in one incarnation of the building).

Hucka D.:

Right. Insert picture.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/15402278@N08/

bb:

Sorry. Still looking…

12oz_ep013_03

Hucka D.:

Nope. But close enough. You know 12 Oz Mouse’s cardboard city is New Pietmond as well. Dead End Street, the true beginning of Carcass-1, the very first Carcass in a way, in a manner. New Pietmond is a record… now spin it.

Respond.

“Don’t respond.”

bb:

Hi Hucka. So it was good to respond and now good not to respond.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Not red and blue as such, but green and a different green. Let it drop.

bb:

OK.

Hucka D.:

There is always something beyond the red and blue. The red and blue are your emotional limitations showing. The emotions/colors are boundaries. Different worlds, really, because they are spinning opposite each other.

bb:

Interesting. So this would surface between Klutzy and I, for example, with gay rights and our different opinions of them.

Hucka D.:

Klutzy is the innocent here. Each person is guarding a turf. They have to.

bb:

Why was I a sacrifice, or a potential one?

Hucka D.:

You had to be toughened up so that you could survive better on your own. Now you can. You are an Ally (bright yellow), or soon will be.

bb:

Can I trust…

Hucka D.:

Yes. And even if not, you have no choice.

bb:

I can go to…

Hucka D.:

No. She is right. Don’t go there.

bb:

OK.

Hucka D.:

So you’re an artist, eh?

bb:

Suppose so Hucka. How ’bout you?

Hucka D.:

Oh the same. Collager too. I collage minds.

bb:

Hehe.

Hucka D.:

I want to tell you a story.

bb:

OK.

Hucka D.:

There was red. There was blue. There was green. There was clean. There was dirty. There was gold. There was diamond. There was mold and more gold and oh some more diamonds added onto the top. Inside all of this was a fort with a whistle. A diamond whistle which sounded like a bell over the ocean for a day and a half until all clear sign given. Attack! Indians came. But not Indians.

bb:

Spanish.

Hucka D.:

You had to kill.

bb:

I got away.

Hucka D.:

You vowed never to get on a dirty filthy ship like that again. And you never have again.

bb:

Where has the current drama taken place before?

Hucka D.:

France.

bb:

Nothing.

Hucka D.:

No-man’s-land.

bb:

Still not really nothing. I know this has something to do with Patrick Crawley and WWI and perhaps the switch from Crawley to Patrick Gordon. Face burned.

Hucka D.:

Switcheroo.

bb:

Who is Klutzy?

Hucka D.:

He is a young soul. But he is also not who he seems to be.

bb:

I’ve met him before.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Battles.

bb:

That’s where we split. We were childhood friends.

Hucka D.:

Of sorts, yes.

bb:

Where?

Hucka D.:

Virginia.

bb:

I might ask him tomorrow.

Hucka D.:

Do.

bb:

What of Karoz and Supersity?

Hucka D.:

You know what the jewel is. Superman logo.

—–

bb:

Hucka D., I was thinking about the art aspect and felt overwhelmed with blue. So much responsibility, so much depth. The Table.

Hucka D.:

The Table, yes. I’ve always said that. Even when I was a young bee in Kentucky I said that. Azure Islands I meant. Tronesis. SID.

bb:

Hucka D., I want X-Ray to move into Pietmond.

Hucka D.:

*Yes.* Do you know how[ to do it]?

bb:

I think one of the avatars will have to sacrifice their personal appearance. I don’t think it should be you, though.

Hucka D.:

I don’t mind.

bb:

[Actually] I’m thinking Wilsonia.

Hucka D.:

Why don’t you ask X-Ray. Also known as Dr. Blood here… there.

Dr. Blood:

I will be incarnated soon. Lavender Hill Gang. Gold, lead, diamond, lead.

bb:

Hi Dr. Blood. We are going quite far tonight.

Dr. Blood:

I am in Pietmond already.

bb:

The Gallery in the Rocks?

Dr. Blood:

Tin S. Man. Where are we on that?

bb:

Do you want me to work on Dark Side of the Rainbow 02 again?

Dr. Blood:

I want you to work on Tin S. Man.

bb:

Pietmond is Lion’s Roar, Dr. Blood.

Dr. Blood:

Humph.

Hucka D.:

Dr. Blood will return another night with gushing news. You have your work.

bb:

Thank you.

… I’ll probably be able to hike once more in Frank and/or Herman Park. It’ll be chilly, though. Do I return to the bizarre running fence on the slopes of Gene Fade’s Mtn.? The little cemetery there could hold keys; also the rock outcropping just beyond it on the public path also skirting the running fence project. Hiflat and Loflat… but what of Red 7 or Carcass-7? (pause) Although Second Life is coming on strong once again, the focus of this blog should remain on Frank and Herman Parks. Period. However, a question that has come to mind is: Is New Pietmond with its still developing SoSo Village a direct continuation of Herman Park’s Lion’s Roar? A link is one of the newest Pietmond structures, or Tower of A. Mann. I’ve related it to New York City’s Statue of Liberty. I’ve also assoc. Lion’s Roar with this same city in an October post here. Is the Tower of A. Mann sort of a very tall bottle of Lion’s Roar, then? Something to ponder about, or one more thing to ponder on. Who lives in New Pietmond? Is Knock there, aka Tin S. Man… oh, *Mann*. Tower of A. Mann could be one of 4 men Knock mentions in October posts, or Powerman, Plastic Man, Tin S. Man, and Superman. I want to fly like Superman (etc.). (pause) So which man is it? Since Superman is the 4th, it could be him. Reorganization around the Eiffel Tower (another prominent world landmark, like NYC’s Statue of Liberty).

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081573/plotsummary

Terrorists have taken over the Eiffel Tower, and threaten to blow it up with a hydrogen bomb. Once again, Superman is there and saves Paris by throwing the bomb into outer space. Unfortunately, the explosion releases the three bad guys imprisoned in the first Superman movie. They then move in on Earth, taking it over, but little do they know who they will have to defeat.

And Superman’s Metropolis is largely modelled after New York City itself.

In his 1978 work, The Great Superman Book, an encyclopedia of the first forty years of the Superman comics, author Michael Fleisher cites many, many examples which demonstrate that Metropolis equates with New York City. The most blatant of these might be the statement he cites from Action Comics #143 (April 1950), which states that the Statue of Liberty stands in “Metropolis Harbor”.[1] The Statue of Liberty, in fact, stands in New York Harbor.

“Knock is the only person in town that talks to me. Knock is the only *person* in town period!”

Hucka D.:

That’s not true. There’s *me*!

bb:

If you are the golden bug or play Goldbug, then that’s way in the past still.

Hucka D.:

I’m still there. You haven’t unraveled the line yet. The Lion.

bb:

Many mysteries still about Byng and the 4 Valleys region, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Daniel Blown, yeah.

bb:

I think I’d like to go back to Carcassonne soon, the stream with all the white rocks.

Hucka D.:

Great place.

bb:

How can I possibly create a unified theory about these 2 mtn. parks with a way between them??

Hucka d.:

Slowly. That’s what the mtns. want.

bb:

I could examine the references to Yards Mtn. in P. Big, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

They’re there.

bb:

Hand Spring is referenced in Spirited Away in that red/green/blue/yellow window illuminating the bowl of water in the vacant temple.

Hucka D.:

Temple of TIDE.

bb:

Yeah, suppose so. What’s the relationship of TILE and TIDE?

Hucka D.:

Same thing. Except concentrated.

bb:

Did TIDE predate TILE? And what of Tyle in all this?

Hucka D.:

TIDE solves the problem of The Fall in Dark Side of the Rainbow. It looks like nonsense when you write that statement out for me in your blog but it isn’t.

—–

bb:

Oh, The Table (!)

Hucka D.:

OK, yeah.

bb:

Remember I had all the avatars sitting around it in Happy or Hilo or whatever that village in Siliconicus is called now. The one I still have in Second Life.

Hucka D.:

Hilo. No, Philo.

bb:

Yeah, that one. Table House is central in all of it, along with maybe the Norris Building.

Hucka D.:

You have Lion’s Roar now[ to add in].

bb:

But back to The Table. Obviously this new fellow, Knock, is a progression beyond Tin S. Man or a revelation of who is inside that tin suit.

Hucka D.:

Not who you expected. But that’s Superman. The 4th Man.

Knock (answering bb’s question):

I suppose the Village Green concept is the most important one to develop in your synchs, baker b. I like to talk to you as Wallace3 now, though. To be safe.

bb:

Where’s Z? Sorry.

Wallace3 (repeating):

Where’s Z?

Knock:

He’s at the end of Dead End Street. Little Green. In Little Green.

bb:

Sorry again.

Wallace3:

But there is no Little Green bottle in Lion’s Roar.

Knock:

Did you check again tomorrow? Today I meant?

Wallace3:

He was at The Table in Goremoor. In Hilo or Philo.

Knock:

Give that up[ for now]. Talk to me.

Wallace3:

Lion’s Roar is a new standard.

Knock:

Yeah. We’ll find Z. He’s around back somewhere.

Wallace3:

What of Marty and Plant and Lemon?

Knock:

Oh, they’ll come around. I’ve blocked them, actually. I don’t care about Marty too much. Or Lemon. As you know now.

Wallace3:

But that’s just macho positioning. You must see The Beetles’ greatness.

Knock:

Nah, we were better. Are better. We were around much longer. We went through the ringer. The Beetles… they just gave up. I’ll support The Residents over The Beetles[ as greatest rock group ever] sure. Even I see that. Unless it’s us.

Wallace3:

The Bill will remain on top of synchdom for now, however. But they’re not a rock group or a musical group period.

Knock:

Nah. Lemon liked them and brought them in.

Tomorrow 02

Been reading my blog posts from about a year ago forward. Have reached part about reexploring TILE Creek again — finding TILE Falls, etc. Very exciting times. I hope we have close to that warm type of winter again, but certainly can’t count on it. First a really really cold winter, then a schizo winter where it’s really really cold to begin and warm to end, and then a really really warm winter. What’s next??? So I have to anticipate The Woods being closed off for me fairly soon, perhaps as early as December. Christmas vacation usually brings snow covered ground. Yet I don’t seem to have Second Life exploring any longer to keep me occupied during this potentially large rl exploring gap. Work on other baker b. modules instead? How about Paradox II, or Paradox III for that matter? Then of course we have Rainbowology now, which I haven’t really worked on in several weeks, or since the discovery of Lion’s Roar and its Kansas — really since the blog got into full swing here. Tin S. Man and I split over the 3333 nature, with the gap unable to be closed. Natural rift, leading to Lion’s Roar. Wallace3 seems to have even moved to Lion’s Roar now, and away from the Tinsity Metro Area of Green Oz Valley. Let’s ask him (to speed up things).

Wallace3:

Yes, I’ve decided to live in Lion’s Roar instead of Wallace/Tinsity. Knock will be a friend, perhaps this Z, although he wasn’t home tonight. I’ll examine Jeogeot history, which ended with Pietmond and a small addition with Boris[ just read]. Lion’s Roar has 2 ways, maybe three if we add in Pretty Way. The train track can take us-as-marbles anywhere in the Lion’s Roar location, as long as it’s downhill, har. Lion’s Roar contains answers. I will dig into the history of Goldbug, who was here in the past century, perhaps about 1841 or so. Found the Bee’s Line. Must examine what this line is more. Is it the train rail as I originally thought — I don’t think so now. Knock has indicated 3 “Men”, with a 4th man coming from Kentucky, a superman of sorts, called Daniel Blown. Daniel Blown is found in Billfork, hum. My friend Flynn asks about him every once in a while — “sure would like to know more about this Daniel Blown fellow.” I must investigate the nature of these 4 men, then. Some say that Daniel Blown might have even lived in Closed Cave???

Wallace3 put pen to paper to begin. “Jeogeot was a fabled land, with Pietmond its crown jewel. Really it was Chilbo, and Pietmond was a chip off the old blog. Chilbo needed help. Norum and Chilbol existed in Lemony times. Norum had to turn into Pietmond, because it was not accepted in Chilbo (site of Medieval jousting fairs, etc.). If DSotR can be revitalized through Tin S. Man and Tinsity/Wallace, then so can Second Life and Jeogeot perhaps. Alma might know.”

Knock (looking over his shoulder):

Shouldn’t…

… we be looking at the bigger picture. I’m just saying that to say something[ mind you].

bb:

Hi Knock my oldest friend. (smiles) I still haven’t read your book all the way through — X-Ray. Are you Tin S. Man? Because it seems that the other Tin S. Man is the real Tin S. Man.

“I am superman,” came the reply. Like REM except not.” “Another lead!” I replied back. Super. “Can I take a tour of town with you, Knock,” I requested. He shrugged, looked at his pile of work to be done, gave me a “who cares” expression, and waved to the door in acquiescence. “You’re so kind,” I said. He had a large gait; rather cumbersome to keep up with him as he turned left on Side Way to head toward Little Brown. “Do you know who lives *here*?” he asked. “Chuck?” I guessed. But he nodded — I had guessed correctly. Chuck was the fellow I theorized might have lived in Closed Cave in the nearby (to us normal sized humans) 4 Valley region. “This is the *real” Chuck, though,” said Knock. “Where’s Knick and Knack?” I asked, examining the brown bottle with him. He picked it up, suddenly “normal” sized. “Now you know the secret to getting out of here.” He handed me the normal sized bottle. I looked down at Lion’s Roar; the bottles, the pots, the rail. “Are we still down there as well??” “No,” he answered. “You’re either down there, trapped in the microcosm, or you’re up here in the stratosphere, with the townspeople unable to see you… Big Sky and all.” He laughed a bit. “You should have written novels, Knock,” I responded. “*This* is my novel. I know what you are up to. *I* created Tin S. Man, gave him the desire to research DSotR. For I am truly Tin S. Man, or I once was. Now I’m superman. I’m able to do this.” He indicated with his hands his suddenly enlarged body. Superman, eh? “How do we get back inside?” I asked, looking at the brown bottle. “Just put the bottle back on the ground,” he responded, and did so. We were back in Lion’s Roar, the bottle suddenly looming over us although it was one of the smallest in town. “We don’t need to go “outside” right now. As long as you know we can.” He pauses thoughtfully, allowing me to catch my breath. I looked around. The townspeople had returned, but they were more obviously than ever what one would call “shades”. “What of the segregation symbols in the town?” “They are what they are,” Knock replied.

“One more thing,” he added. You have to put the bottle back exactly where you took it. Just grab it with your hand. You can practice on your own. I have to get back to my studio.” “Working on another album?” I asked. “No, I’m working on getting Knick Knack and Knock lined up and harmonized. Yeah, of course I’m working on an album. *Always*” He disappeared inside the Knock bottle, leaving me on my own to explore the town.

Tomorrow…

Incorporate Dead End Street into Lion’s Roar.

Compare Billfork and Lion’s Roar, short term and long term.

Continue Gold Bug story. Gold Bug is Golden Joseph(ine) in part. Money for tooth. Price on his golden head.

He had greenbacks (paper currency not back by bullion) coming into town. Told of gold in them thar hills (Kentucky).

Rely more on Poe’s Gold Bug story for more clues of Lion’s Roar *tale*.

“Don’t you think Lion’s Roar is the tale of DSotR2?”

Emerald City is Lion’s Roar?

What of the Rock Island energized by Ill./Iowa but originally floating down to the top of Periwinkle Falls from The Impasse? Floating Island.

Knock Knick Knack have library inside their building. Tells of Powerman, of Plastic Man, of Tin S. Man in order. Creations of Lisa the Vegetarian. Lisa the V. has temple in town where everyone in town goes to worship her twice, 3 times a week maybe. It is understood she controls the mtn. Knock is a priest of Rainbowology. Studies quartz — says most massive quartz crystals found in Quartz Brook on other side of mtn. Knock tells of Powerman first, then Plastic Man, then Tin S. Man. Superman? “Some say Superman is the 4th Man”, he says to Golden Bug. “Do you want to fly like Superman, little bug?” Yes!” came the answer, for Golden Bug knew something Knock didn’t, and that all Mans are 1 Man. He flew to Kentucky in reverse, then, which means he admits to Knock at the time that he came from Kentucky like Superman. “Daniel Boone was also a man,” Knock shared. “A real man.” “True man?” And then Golden Bug was off to another destination. He knew the Prism Cave held the key. It was a lock.

The next day…

More questions: Does Wallace3 come to live in Lion’s Roar and not his own Wallace next to Tinsity? It is a great question; I think he does for a time. He thinks Tinsity too dangerous (radioactive?) to exist next to for now. Studies past/present/future of that area — *will* he establish Rainbowology under the 3333 Protectorate in that area? If Wallace3 comes to live in Lion’s Roar he may write a history of Jeogeot then, and Pietmond in particular. He will compare Lion’s Roar directly with Pietmond. For one thing, both are settings for fictional tv shows, but the townspeople will not know what he is on about here (since they’re part of the show itself, and unable to stand outside of their roles in this way). Wallace3 might say that Pietmond is better than Lion’s Roar, even if it is virtual. Can go inside buildings with your avatar. People of town will counter this — say *they* live inside the bottles — just go through the walls. “Then what?” Wallace3 counters himself. They do not have an answer for this, all except Knock of Knick Knack Knock. In contrast, Goldbug lived in the past, and Lion’s Roar is more like a 19th Century US western style prospector town to him, it seems, with segregation in place (notice acronym of Triplets) and colored bottles on opposite side of rr from clear bottles. This is just symbol, mind you, and a transfer of past memories and events of places to present event as art happening in woods of Herman Park, Haze County, US of A. Knock is aware of the transfer, however. Is aware there is prejudice in town, on the abstract level that the town exists in the first place. Knock says Wallace3 is needed here. Pietmond will make Lion’s Roar stronger, he says — a connection to a virtual world where indeed you can go into buildings and walk around as avatars. “But what of Sue?” he then asks. “Where are his prospecting companions? We would like to get him and his roaring out of Lion’s Roar asap.” Wallace3, still freeforming, states, “Carcassonnee was in Pietmond, an alien herself. Sometimes went by the name of Sharon or Charon. Lion’s Roar doesn’t have a powerful center like that.” “We have Lisa,” retorts Knock. “Lisa the Vegetarian. We worship her at our several places of worship 2 to 3 times a week, maybe less. We bring her pieces of quartz to honor her purity. She is High F… Hi-fi maybe. Yes… hi-fi it is.” For Knock knew they were making this up as they went as well. He looked at the alien Wallace3 over top of his 19th Century spectacles, took him in. “It’s good the grizzly people of this prominent village can’t see you, all but me.” He looked down the street at just such milling villagers. “Is this the Village Green?” Wallace3 asked, knowing it was a loaded question. “Is it *doomed*?” he could have added (but didn’t). “Z” might know”, Knock states. He lives at the end of that dead end street just up the road. A little green bottle use to sit at the end of it, so we always called it Little Green. But now it’s just Dead End Street. In a 2 room apartment on the 2nd floor we’ll find Z.” I knew *a* Z had been involved in semi-recent discussions of The Table of Hilo. I wondered if it was the same guy.

“Some say Elliot Carter was born on Sideway, or made his musical fortune there. He chose to be an avatar. (pause) baker b.? Not there.”

“Beetle, Music? Anyone?”

—–

“The first resident of Lion’s Roar was Gold Bug. He was attempting to sell a *copy* of the Bee’s Line for a million dollars. All over town he tried — this was the equivalent of Millionaires Row. Sorry, Musician’s Row.”

bb:

Was the Bee’s Line a piece of music?

Hucka D.:

There you are. No, it was a line, an actual, physical line just like your line you took home with you today. He said it represented a million dollar treasure. Maybe a mil and a half.

bb:

Ahhh… Lion’s Roar is kind of like the cardboard city of 12 Oz Mouse (!)

http://boards.adultswim.com/t5/12-Oz-Mouse/bd-p/mouse

I wonder if this Gold Bug is actually a gold bug or it’s a more anthropomorphic or human character?

Hucka D.:

Ummm… I know who you have in mind. But I believe he has greenbacks. No rubles… greenbacks.

bb:

So Lion’s Roar is a setting for a tv show, just like virtual Pietmond was. It’s more the setting than what the individual buildings are about.

Hucka D.:

Both. Who owned the Triplets? Were they the original buildings of town, as you put it? And why are there perhaps 3 Triplets left behind on Yards Mountain this season that didn’t make the journey to Lion’s Roar? Triplets — one for each “high rise”.

bb:

Actual triplets, like Hector, Hubert, Howard?

Hucka D.:

Yes! (pause) Maybe. We brainstorm again. Funtas… well, just fun.

bb:

I agree. Let’s keep going a bit (!) So Gold Bug comes into town, says he’s found a Bee’s Line which is the same as a map. You dig at a certain place and you find the treasure. Talks about Central Tiny as a rock to be found. Talks about the mysterious Rock Mound. A skull… where did it go, Hucka D.?

Hucka D.:

I hid it. It detracted from the overall story if identified.

bb:

Nice. Didn’t want to carry that thing in my backpack anyway (smiles). So we know that Gold Bug…

Hucka D.:

But one word, just Goldbug.

bb:

Goldbug, then, comes in from place called Kentucky where he’s been prospecting.

Hucka D.:

It’s me. You’re right. *I* want to be the star of this movie, er show.

bb:

Great! So we’ll say you’re the golden bug (!)

Hucka D.:

I’m divine. (blushes)

bb:

And you have this line. And everyone in town laughs at you because you’re trying to sell this line, this Bee’s Line. Then you unroll it in the center of town — put 2 stakes 40 feet apart and start to unwind it. Let’s see, it’s about 65 yards long so that’s 250 feet or so, which means you’d have wind it around these poles over 6 times.

Hucka D.:

Well, it certainly gets the grizzly townspeople interested, this unwinding.

bb:

Esp. Ted Turner.

Hucka D. (apparently rehearsing):

I want greensbacks, not the gold backed stuff. The real stuff. Paper. This is not about Golden. This is not about me.

bb:

I’d think he’d want the gold backed currency, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

He walks Millionaires Row. He knocks door to door. Knick Knack Knock, the 3 Triplets. He knocks on Knock’s door first. “Knick, knack, knock. Who goes there? Who goes there??”

bb:

So each of the 3 Triplets answers the door with all 3 of their names.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Could be pretty funny. “Just a simple bee,” he answers. “A bee with a line from Kentucky. Elliot Carter sent me.”
“You’re a funny bug,” Knock answers. “Do you know me already? We are 3 in 1, perhaps making Foreign One. Like The Arab. Do you know him or her?”

bb:

Maybe: Knik, Knak, Knok. But everyone mispells it in town. The Triplets try to correct when possible.

Hucka D.:

They own the highrises [of town]. They’re so rich they bought three more [duplicates] but left them in storage over on Yards Mtn. They describe riches still to be had in that money field over there. Say you can spy it with a spyglass in the winter.

bb:

It’s the Money Go Round.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Precisely.*

—–

bb:

Importantly, Hucka D. tells the story about a mosquito which landed on part of the string, making it dark, just at where a tree was on the line which he was otherwise going to skip. Instead he names the tree Mosquito Tree and includes it on the line.

Hucka D.:

You have to study that line. Goodbye.

bb:

Thanks! Great start for the story.

Robert owes half to Grenville
Who in turn gave half to Larry
Who adored my instrumentals
And so he gave half to a foreign publisher
She took half the money that was earned in some far distant land
Gave back half to Larry and I end up with half of goodness knows what
Oh can somebody explain why things go on this way
I thought they were my friends I can’t believe it’s me, I can’t believe that I’m so green
Eyes down round and round let’s all sit and watch the moneygoround
Everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there
Do they all deserve money from a song that they’ve never heard
They don’t know the tune and they don’t know the words
But they don’t give a damn
There’s no end to it I’m in a pit and I’m stuck in it
The money goes round and around and around
And it comes out here when they’ve all taken their share
I went to see a solicitor and my story was heard and the writs were served
On the verge of a nervous breakdown I decided to fight right to the end
But if I ever get my money I’ll be too old and grey to spend it
Oh, but life goes on and on and no one ever wins
And time goes quickly by just like the moneygoround
I only hope that I’ll survive
