“Carr., last night yet another Uncle Meatwad resonance surfaced in Fringe — and the wife and I were thinking about it at the same time (!).”

Carr.:

Yes I heard. Do not do another interview unless Uncle Meatwad is out there for others to view. Your choice. Karl is playing it cautious. Understandable. Either keep it to yourself for now or allow “out there” for others to view as a whole. Don’t just put the pressure on[ delete name].

bb:

Yes, I think I’ll tell Karl that tonight. But you see how…

Carr.:

But you see how important it is to get UM out there. It should live. It is the last of the positive carrcasses and also the first of the negative carrcasses. It is both. It is neither. Last… first. I am Olive.

bb:

And you still love Peter.

Carr.:

Yes.

The oval or *olive* shaped theatre might be the only Collagesity building totally enclosed within the new skywalk from an overhead view. And it’s brown, matching the color of the skywalk’s connectors. But the theatre from this view might also be said to just touch it (“kiss” it) to the northeast. The Path of the Red Flower has now been closed off by the back of the theatre. The structure, still unnamed (the Meat Dome?), likewise touches the World of Collages building to the northwest, and also comes within 2 or 3 feet of the Sink Lair, again to the northeast.

Actually as I’m looking inside, I’m reminded that one set of stairs from the former path still lies directly against the north wall of the theatre, with a red flower at the top and another one near its bottom, at the back door…

… and then another one is found right at the front door as well.

Looks like this might be, then, The Theatre of The Red Flower, or probably Red Flower Theatre or just The Red Flower.

The complementary walk to the Red Flower on the south side of Central Stream has likewise been decommissioned through placement of new structures Gallery Jack and Wappo Jack’s Castle there. This would be the former Red Shroom Trail.

Tough but necessary losses both.

3:30AM update:

Been playing around with programs that convert VOB files to MPGs. I’m pretty sure I can create a viewable MPG of Uncle Meatwad to play as a dropbox link, which means it probably will also play on a prim in Second Life. I believe I’m not even going to try to upload the resulting MPG to Vimeo or especially Youtube because of the involved copyright violations. It is a time capsule. But I’ll still allow people to view it through this blog I think — and in Second Life. The Red Flower Theatre is about to, UM, flower(!).

Then I want to do a detailed analysis of UM, just like I create for my collages.

Also I have to get my new computer hooked up again. Been using my older Dell formerly in the basement for about a week and a 1/2 now because the new one wouldn’t boot up correctly. We’ll try out some possible solutions in the next several days. Else I’ll have to take it in to the campus computer lab to let them look at it.

Carr.:

Wappo Jack was my fiend. Friend. My friend.

Baker B.:

Well, that’s a pretty impressive castle he has there. Takes up a considerable amount of my prims.

Carr. (correcting?):

*My* prims.

Baker B.:

You are ruler of this town. Correct?

Carr.:

Corr. ect.

Baker B.:

What’s your relationship with Wappo Jack?

Carr.:

Friend. Played tennis together. Swam in creek. Leeches. Jack picked them off of me. Friend.

Baker B.:

That’s nice[ I suppose].

Carr.:

Friend.

Baker B.:

And what about Jesus of N. and Piet Mond.

Carr.:

Less friends. More fiends. Jack and I battle. He built his castle to control battles. Grays verses Browns. Slaughter. Then Olive Branch. I be here[ in this diner/museum].

Baker B.:

Are you jealous of Jack for having such a big place?

Carr.:

Palace. (pause)

Baker B.:

Then you are jealous?

Carr.:

No. We live together. Married.

Baker B.:

Err, with Jack?

Carr.:

Yes. (Carrcassonnee attempts a smile)

Baker B.:

Well, that’s wonderful. And you’re…

Carr.:

Yes [we are still married]. (pause) Jack invented Newton and Jasper. You can say they are our children. Hi mom. Hi dad. And so on.

Baker B.:

Is [Jesus of N. your child]?

Carr. (quickly):

No.

Baker B.:

And I [suppose Piet Mond isn’t your child either].

Carr. (again anticipating Baker B.’s question):

No. (pause)

Baker B.:

Carrcassonnee, I attempted to set up a movie theatre in the formerly empty central building of the Crystal Fields. But there isn’t too much to these fields now that more buildings have been inserted.

Carr.:

I wish to see Uncle Meatwad. Show Uncle Meatwad.

Baker B.:

Yes that was my intention. But the file wouldn’t play.

Carr.:

Try harder. Uncle Meatwad.

Baker B.:

Okay I’ll try it again soon.

Carr.:

Tomorrow. I hear you are interviewing Karl Song. He will not enjoy the blog. He thinks you are mad. I am [instead] the mad one (Carr. attempts another smile here).

Baker B.:

This is our second attempt. I’m going to give him a lot of rope this time. I screwed up the last one.

Carr.:

I heard. Sing him a song to soothe. He likes tunes. He is a tale tune spinner too[ like Collagesity resident Joe the Guitarist].

Baker B.:

Quite a mouthful.

Carr.:

I talk to you because you work hard and play harder. I attempt drink. I see double. I see song and tune together. Strummer. Joe. Rock on. Rock the[ Casbah?]. (I believe Carr. attempts to even sing a bit here).

Baker B. (after Carr. finishes “singing”):

Very nice. So we know for sure that’s Wappo Jack’s castle, and maybe his gallery, since it’s Gallery Jack. But it wasn’t named for him originally. Instead it’s…

Carr.:

Don’t say it. Seven eleven.

Baker B.:

Time to go?

Carr.:

Yo.

Afterwards, Baker Bloch watches a short animation in the theatre. He’s getting there(!).

Baker Bloch teleports down to the Red Umbrella. In looking over at this corner, he’s reminded he needs to ask Carrcassonnee about the UmbrellaStar fellow over in the Pond District who visited Collagesity the other day.

But upon checking in at the Temple, Baker finds Carrcassonnee busy with Hucka Doobie again. Yeah, he’s been inworld more lately. I’ll speak further about that a little later on.

Hucka Doobie notices Baker Bloch

bb:

Carrcassonnee, they’ve taken away my classic view in WordPress. I don’t like.

Carr.:

Ahh, you’ll get use. (smile)

bb:

Thanks for the encouragement. How’s Hucka Doobie doing? He left suddenly when he saw me.

Carr.:

He’s asking important questions about SID’s 1st Oz, I know.

bb:

That’s another thing I want to ask about. Obviously I’m heading toward SID’s 1st Oz in the 6 part baker b.’s journey through the golden age of synching.

Carr.:

Good.

bb:

But I’m not sure yet that I can really focus in on SID.

Carr.:

No.

bb:

So I’m thinking about Uncle Meatwad instead.

Carr.:

Yes (!)

bb:

So that’s…

Carr.:

Yes.

I figured Jesus knew all about sacrifices. “Jesus?”

Carr.:

Yes?

bb:

Not you Carr. Jesus.

Carr.:

I am all deities now in Collagesity. I am the Speaker. Capitalize that in the blog.

bb:

Alright, *Carr.*, let’s talk about sacrifice.

Carr.:

You do not know much about that[ yet].

bb:

I’m thinking of sacrificing Uncle…

Carr.:

Do it. Sacrifice. Jesus concurs as well.

bb:

Ramifications?

Carr.:

None.

A little later on I found out that Hucka D. was diving deep into SID’s 1st Oz instead. Replacement.

I deleted my last post about The Rainbow Sphere, SID’s 1st Oz, etc. (I saved it to my blog, however). I’m going to attempt to tie theories more into information from existing posts here, and also material in the newer podcasts. Karl has the most exhaustive theories and reviews so far. Thank you Karl for continuing to be such a strong supporter for the film/album synchronicity phenomenon. It seems we kind of have a shared canon of works coming from the early 2000’s. I would definitely include Being Geddy Lee in this mix even though it is highly manipulated, and I’m looking forward to Dave’s upcoming, reshaped podcast as previously stated.

I was going to make a couple of comments about Karl’s “Simultaneity II” post, but I don’t think we can progress much further than we already have until some future podcasts are cleared. Afterwards we might have a better perspective for moving forward. I would greatly urge Karl to create a new podcast as well — it would help shape and refine his theories on a/v synching, allowing others to better understand what he’s attempting to convey.

An idea popped in my head while thinking about this whole synchronicity vs. synchronization debate: a “looking glass” particle linking the two. On one side you have the viewer and on the other side the creator. But there’s a blend or continuum between the two; they’re not separate entities. And the viewer can shape what is being viewed — become part of the creator — and visa versa. How about that theory? Any thoughts? What do you think Karl Tune, Mirror Living? This would be akin to the quantum physics idea of viewer/viewed interaction on a sub-atomic level. The basis would be heightened emotions. It’s very interesting how strongly we are affected by certain synchronicities. This would apply to group viewings (of the same synch) and group creations as well. We must better define the creator, the created, and the viewer.

Some of the speculation on this would sound a little crazy. I’ll give an example. Is it possible that Randy and I were subconsciously affecting each other across time through a “shared” synch involving “Sing’n in the Rain”? Look at the components, and how we were drawn to similar, matching tracks for similar reasons. We both found “wow moments” and backtracked to a beginning cue. We both let it stand as is otherwise (the “1 drop synch” — great term again!). Was it fate at this point in time that this matching was found? What is it saying; what are the deeper implications? Or is this just a randomly occurring confluence, deserving no additional attention?

We can see this particular configuration as a triangle:
Sing’n in the Rain (shared video segment; top of triangle) – Dancing with Myself (Randy’s audio) – Standing in the Rain (my audio).

I’m going to add one more thing here. The concept of tiling as I’ve been practicing it for over a decade now absolutely *shatters* any a/v synching theory based exclusively on synchronization. There’s no turning back from this.

Then a follow up in the same thread:

Additional note: I’m on for a new podcast. Karl, like I said… just do it. I’ll have an example work to demonstrate the process of tiling and high oddness without possible “synchronization”. 🙂 If you would like to see this work, actually a 2 parter composed of 1 hour mixes each, let me know and I’ll drop you some links. This 1st part is called Empire Strikes Brak, and the second half is Uncle Meatwad. It’s a mixture of funny and tragic. I’ll also give out a blog post link on the subject soon. I’ll also catch up on all the podcasts asap. Look at websites, etc.

So the cats kind of out of the bag now. 🙂

Empire Strikes Brak = Carrcass+0
Uncle Meatwad = Carrcass-0

These audiovisual synchronicities work either together or as separate pieces. The second begins where the first ends (“into the light”). I’ll have more details about these works soon. They’ve been referred to quite a lot on this blog lately, and that’s why I thought they’d be good candidates as example synchronicities in my projected podcast coming up. Many characters from Collagesity also appear in the synchs (and visa versa of course), or, more specifically, Carrcass-0/Uncle Meatwad. Here are some pictures of what I’m talking about. Excitement!
