Italy!

I just got back from a 2 week tour from Italy! It was amazing! I'll try to do a more in-depth post later, but until then, check out my pictures!

I'm really digging my new camera. Here's a cool shot I took over the weekend. I think it turned out pretty well :)

Panorama of my Room

I just got myself a new camera! It's a Canon PowerShot G9, and it's crazy neat. I was fooling around taking pictures and started playing with it's panorama mode. You can take a picture, then it'll use that previous picture as a guide while you take the next picture to help you line them up. I then used the Photomerge option in Photoshop and it automatically merged all my pictures together. Pretty rad, eh!?

Here's some more pictures:

New Design!

Hey everyone! So I decided to create a new design for my blog. I was never really satisfied with the old design. I was trying to go for an old-timey-steam-punky look with it, and it just didn't turn out right.

So now, I decided to go with a more art-deco style rather than steam-punk. What do you all think? I'm pretty satisfied, and I had a great time coming up with the logo! I hope you like it as much as I do.

I'll try to update here more often, and maybe this new design will help to be my catalyst!

And remember, don't forget to pick up the new Boston Balcony Clappers cd, in stores now!!

This is my new favorite video! It's an actual fan-fic written by 9 year old.

1958 Disneyland Map

My newest purchase: A 1958 Disneyland "B" map. This is the 2nd Disneyland map poster made, which you can tell because of the inclusion of the Matterhorn, Monorail, and Submarines. Also, in the "A" map, the water in the Jungle Cruise is green. I was pretty excited about this purchase, because the map was never folded, as the vast majority of these maps were (even the one in the picture), it was rolled. I got a pretty good deal on it, and since there were no creases, I couldn't pass it up.

Some things to note on this map:

• Edison Square and Liberty Street: Two off-shoots of Main Street that never came to be.
• New Orleans Square: The size and scope of it seen here pales in comparison of the final product.
• Wax Museum: This later went on to become Pirates of the Caribbean
• Haunted House: Which was later renamed "Haunted Mansion." Not the location, next to the Jungle Cruise.
• Holidayland: The tent located outside the berm. A short lived idea that was never very popular.

All in all, the map is very cool. It is a very neat history lesson, especially since you can see some projects that WED had planned that nver came to fruition.
