When the loosely organized local vintage motorcycle community, of which I am a loosely organized member, got word that the critically acclaimed British documentary TT3D: Closer to the Edge about the infamous Isle of Man Tourist Trophy motorcycle races was going to have a short run at a Manhattan movie theater, the group made plans to see it. When, for some reason, the theater pulled the movie from its schedule, Corinna, who runs the weekly moto-themed movie night Cine Meccanica at Otto's Shrunken Head, took it upon herself to make it happen anyway, DIY style.

I have a theory. I actually have a lot of theories, but most are best kept secret. This one is based upon what I think is a generally accepted scientific belief, but since Science is always updating and refining these things, I may be behind the times. But so what, this isn't my PhD thesis.

Well over a year ago, I did a freelance gig for a production company that was contracted by Radio City Music Hall to create video set elements for the legendary <i>Radio City Christmas Spectacular</i> (Now in its 79th year!). I worked a solid three months in the sweltering heat of the summer creating animatics for a wintery North Pole scene featuring candy and elves and snow, and presents.

Behold my explosion.
