VoodooMojo, That "prison" is Rocket to Venus in Hampden. Ever been?

The story behind the name is quite stupidly fascinating.

In 1928 a fella tried to build a rocket....to Venus.

We estimated that if we could get the ship off the ground, and traveling at 25,000 miles an hour, it would pull out of the earth's gravity about 40 miles up and coast right on over to Venus.
The materials are the best part. Lacquered sail cloth for the skin. Fifty gallons of gasoline as propellant.

The quote on the restaurants tee-shirts is a quote from the newspaper article from back then:

I never saw so much fire in my life

I'm debating on whether to show my picture or not, what do you guys think? I've been slightly mysterious during the time I've been here.

What do you have to lose? Do you think we wont take you seriously afterwards?

Wouldnt you like to be recognized if you and another member ended up in the same airport, mall, bar, etc?

So c'mon...out with it.

So you dont have any "prepared" photo of yourself?

I can see you now.. Tomorrow you will be setting the timer, getting in front of the camera, SNAP, look at the picture, delete, repeat.

3 hours later....

"Sorry guys, camera battery is dead, ill get a new one tomorrow! :D "


Wanna know a trick to good photos?

Use video.

That way you have 30 photos a second to choose from.

Pull the winning frame as a picture, and upload it.
