For those of you who know how embarrassing it can be to have everyone see your luggage, you’ll also know how much Tennessee seemed to enjoy showing it off. For you, the LGA Office of Propaganda presents this shirt.
For those of you not in the know… you’ll have to go back into the archives and listen to this.
I’ve often found that Adventure is where you find it. The LGA proved that in spades a few weekends ago when we went in search of a tiki-related event ostensibly taking place in a part of San Diego called Shelter Island. Shelter Island is a man-made peninsula consisting largely of hotels, piers and seafood restaurants. Although we didn’t know much about this tiki-centric celebration beyond its rumored existence, with Shelter Island measuring just over half-a-square-mile in area, we were confident (overconfident as we would find out) of our ability to find it.
I came across this article from CNN the other day, about a company called WiTricity, derived from an M.I.T. research group. They are experimenting with the wireless transfer of electricity. Being the League’s Archivist, I was immediately reminded of one of my very favorite, (not so) mad scientists, Nikola Tesla, and his similar experiments back in 1901.
Oh how I WISH I could take credit for this brilliant piece of video editing. Courtest of whoiseyevan via YouTube, this trailer shows us what might have been if Egon, Ray, Peter and Winston had started busting way back in the 1950′s. Given my love for wise-cracking adventurers, the Bob Hope/Bing Crosby road movies, and old time tech, I would really love to have seen Ghostbusters made like this. Take a moment and take a look, it’s quite brilliant.
Our apologies faithful adventurers, recent events have caused all of us here at the LGA Manor to be unavailable for podcasts or posts. We’re terribly sorry and thank you for your patience while we adjust to the loss of our recorder, audio editor and equipment man all via Gentleman Jesse leaving to start the Los Angeles Chapter of the League of Gentleman Adventurers. Our loss is their gain. We all wish you the best Sir and look forward to your eventual return!
