I drive past this little place, all the time, when I'm going to visit my daughters. The problem is the people who live across the street are very hyper aware, and when I got out to look in the windows came and asked me to leave.

Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the inside. I wish I had. Just these three from the front -- from inside my car:







I think at one point, it was some sort of post office or tiny general store. But, like I said, I wasn't able to look inside. I'm going back that way soon, and hope to rectify that.

After our Point Peron excursion, Jethro and I conducted a scout of an old Dairy Farm on the outskirts of Rockingham.

Setup in the 1920's, the farm was part of a scheme by the the WA government of the time to increase agriculture and provide employment for returned soldiers from WWI

I've been a long-time follower of this group, mostly because I love photography, and for some reason, photography of abandoned places excites me. Anyways, I've finally decided to post up some old photos I have. It's from the winter, and it was -10 outside, so they aren't as explored as I would like them to be, but they are abandoned. :)

Greetings steampunkers -- I was at my local Harbor Freight Tools today and noticed that they had a couple of items that might complete a steampunk look:

Hi:  Malcolm McDowell is listed in the Dragoncon booklet that I got today but he's not a listed guest on the website.  Does this mean that he's coming but just hasn't confirmed yet???  This is totally exciting if he comes!!!!
thank you,

Hi kids, your busy but eager and mostly fearless leader Brian Richardson here to announce our last major taping event for Dragon*ConTV 2009. This is going to be a little different, so pay attention and see if you can give us a hand.

We need costumes. Many different costumes. Preferably ones that have a full mask over the face. Furries, Stormtroopers, battle armor ... anything that is fairly easy to move in and fits sci-fi or fantasy.

What do we need it for ... well, that's still a secret ;) Some of that secret will be revealed at our last taping on Saturday, July 18th ... 12:00-5:00pm in Loganville, GA.

If you have the right costume then send me the details & a picture - dragoncontv@gmail.com - If you have a costume that will work I'll send you the details and add you to the shoot list for the taping.

Thanks again for your help in making Dragon*Con a little less ordinary.

Hello all,
Thanks so much for the advice about Southampton. The 3 of us were wondering if any nice person out here in Toronto would give us a lift to Southampton on 25 July for our dear friend's wedding. We will provide compensation, name a price. The wedding starts at 6pm, so it'll be great if we could reach there at 4pm. We hear it's a 2 hour drive from Toronto, so if anyone wanna make some quick cash, leave me your email and I'll email u back asap. Thanks for reading!

I have to drop my photo host next week for financial reasons. Before I do, however, here's a link to my archive. I'm sure there's a ton of it you've already seen, but I nonetheless hope you enjoy what you haven't...

Grab 'em before they're gone.

Cheers,

I've seen a few wonderful people here this afternoon.... People I haven't seen in ages, and not all of them running around like chickens. B and I had planned to go to opening ceremonies but instead ended up drinking coffee and talking right through it! Met up with S for dinner at an awesome Chinese restaurant across the road from the hotel, and then after more conversation sat in on Larry Stewart Live! which is always a blast.

My plans for tomorrow are to see some actors, perhaps check out some panels, sleep in, and hang out... not necessarily in that or any other order. :)

And now am very tired because I have spent far too long trying to hook up the strange cabled internet to the Mac (someone had disconnected the hub end of the cable), and have had enough wine to counteract copious amounts of caffeine consumed earlier.

On the upside OMG MY ROOM IS TOTALLY AWESOME! For having gotten one of the last rooms in the original round of room allocations, I made out like a bandit. The room is huge, the bathroom has a tub and walk in shower, there's a fridge and coffee maker, and I have 6 pillows for my king sized bed. And it's mine, all mine! Muhahahahaha!

Did I mention I didn't have to mortgage the house to get it too? I am so utterly pleased.

Except with the cabled internet. WTF is up with that? :)

Everyone that post here check out this!!!!

Hmmm.... I wonder who in here it is?

Does anyone know where I can find Paul Mitchell products in Toronto? Preferably in the Annex or Yorkville area. I already tried the Eaton Centre Trade Secrets.

I'm specifically looking for this:



Thanks in advance.

Hello all! I've been lurking here for some time... really love a lot of the pictures here.

Anyway, there are a few abandoned houses in the town where I'm living for the summer- Castle Rock, Colorado. I've seen three, but only taken pictures of one so far.
This house is near a car dealership. I have no idea how old it is, but it's been abandoned for at least a few years, maybe abandoned in the mid-1990s at the earliest. There's a chain-link fence around some parts of it, as well as barbed-wire at other points, but the middle of the chain-link fence was torn apart.


( +16 more )

Working on a project for my computer/tech class and I'm needing a pic from the movie of the guys entering the Biltmore, OR a picture of the guys in the ballroom with a good shot of the ceiling. All I've found online so far are little pictures...I need something large and I will resize if needed.

Thanks!

Friday's schedule has been added to the SDCC website.

When Saturday and Sunday's schedule has been released I will add it to this post so that we have one master list.

First post from the new laptop!

Yes, I name my computers.

Yes, I named it Speedyboots.

No, I know it's not the fastest thing out there. It's faster than Mr. Takes-4.5-minutes-to-boot-up-a-web-browser.
