Spider monkey: Way beyond Youtube, IN SITU VIRTUALLY - "in place" in a realistic virtual earth where and when the video was taken, Grateful Dead concerts and Stanford, virtual Harbin, Digital History beginning with news and historical footage and films turned into 3D interactive virtual world scenes then patched together, Glad too Tanya Bergamot will be WUaS's first student this autumn, Met her in SF Quaker Meeting (SFFM), Ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy will allow all of us to add our historical video, "little trip down memory lane," How best to wiki-add brain and gene research videos, photos and computer modeling in place with time slider in a realistic 3D virtual earth - for the benefits of group knowledge generation?


Thanks for your email, Donald,

I recall you telling me about you and all your family hearing Steeleye Span and Jethro Tull in the Finchley Odeon in London in 1970, but not of their deafening din. 

Curious how we'll all be able to add our videos to a wiki Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with time slider and which is build-able and open like the 3D interactive virtual world of
OpenSimulator (but less so like Second Life, since it's proprietarily locked down as I see it) but realistic (so film realism turned into a realistic 3D interactive virtual world). ...

I've found that the Grateful Dead played at Stanford's Roscoe Pavilion in 1972 and played some shows there too annually from around 1981-1986, but haven't found anything in between ... IN SITU VIRTUALLY - in a realistic virtual earth where and when the video was taken, and that's fulsome with great historical interactive video 

... way beyond Youtube.


Mari, what years were you at Stanford? I enjoyed hearing a book talk in the Stanford Bookstore yesterday about Stanford students' letters - "Letters Home from Stanford" - by Alison Carpenter Davis (who reminded me a little of you), and who also went to Stanford in the 1970s I think - https://events.stanford.edu/events/659/65941. Her talk is a prospective model for me for giving a book talk there about my new "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book ... bit.ly/HarbinBook ... https://twitter.com/HarbinBook :) Giving another talk about it in the UC Berkeley anthropology department about it on May 5th.

Nice to share online Meeting with you yesterday, Mari.

Friendly cheer,
Scott

[Hi Scott, just found this in my Outgoing Mail box (wrote it on Sunday — Moore’s law).]

Scott, I was there 1971-1976 with a year out in the middle. I never saw Steeleye Span there but saw them open for a Jethro Tull concert in the Finchley Odeon, N. London in 1970. They were ear-splittingly loud and I didn’t gain any affection for them until much later, and that’s surely nostalgia more than familiarity… I’ll take your little trip down memory lane though.

Cheers,
Donald

Hi Mari and Donald,

Thanks, Mari. Were you at Stanford from 70-ish to 1975, Donald, and were you at Stanford from 76-79ish, Mari? (I'm trying to remember the exact dates). Would either of you have seen these Steeleye Span concerts (in the blog and here below), or known the writers of the reviews? The reviews are interesting ...


Steeleye Span played Stanford in the 1970s at least twice!


Here are some concert reviews from the Stanford Daily:

Hi Donald and Mari, 

Attended the Stanford book event last night on my way to the Unitarian Universalist church of Palo Alto. Am choir-singing these days at UUCPA on Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings. While quite enjoyable to sing together, and am learning a lot too (and 're UU culture and musical energy +), am appreciating much about unprogramned Quaker Meeting too in comparison (UU services are very structured, not quite my Friendly Harbin warm pool cup of tea), which, thanks to Western Friend magazine and Mari, I attend online sometimes.

Glad too Tanya Bergamot will be WUaS's first student this autumn. I met her - the Sunday you weren't recently there Donald -  in SF Quaker Meeting (SFFM), and we then subsequently met at a hive meeting space at AFSC/SFFM to talk about her studying at WUaS. She already has an AA degree so in possibly transferring W UaS may be able to become fully accredited before 2021.

Boar's Head Carol sung by Steeleye Span is lovely, I do declare ...

Harbin Hot Springs and the Heart Consciousness Church

http://califias.blogspot.com/2014/12/harbin-hot-springs-and-heart.html


Other related Harbin & Grateful Dead rememberings as I toot away looking for

Viola: 3 great recent articles about Harbin after the fire, "Harbin's Robert Hartley aka Ishvara," "The Fire at Harbin Hot Springs," "Everything Gone but the Water," Interesting observations about the Grateful Dead at Harbin in these articles, Interview too with the publisher, Rob Sidon, of Common Ground Magazine from 2011, Re a new Academic Press at WUaS and publishing my actual / virtual Harbin ethnography, here's a poetry book published through CreateSpace affiliated with Amazon. And the 2nd Twitter post has CreateSpace's choices for ISBN book numbers. To add the new Academic Press at WUaS, I'll probably use the Universal ISBN option. Furthermore, to anticipate publishing my and others' poetry, WUaS may create other parts of the WUaS Press, Distinguishing between becoming a Publisher and Imprints, Kindle conversion
