The Roswell Episode...

The making of this episode of Road Show has been so freaking' bizzare if I didn't believe in Aliens before I can certainly see there input in this situation.

Rewind a couple of weeks. We had just recently arrived here and I had alredy met up with some of my new biker buddies. We had only been in town a few days and they invited me out to the major boonies. I Googled the address they gave me and thought I had everything wrapped up. But out here in the high desert maps and reality seem to have little correlation outside of the major metro areas.

Long story short hereI ended up being lost, at night in the desert. Even though I was nowhere near Roswell at the time I can easily see why people see things out here. It is WILD!

Ok back to the present....

The fourth of July was coming up and with it the Roswell UFO festival. Since our downsizing from a 3 bedroom house with three car garage to 750 square foot pad with micro porch we have had doggie-hosting issues. Since the house we left also had a big back yard we would just leave the doggie door open and she was good for a night or two. Now she has to be taken out manually everytime. Possible solution turn her into a motorcycle dog!




Here Tuesday aka Motorcyle Dog is Ready for her first test run

A quick run down to Einsteins Bagels and a little dog friendly public hanging go so well I, yes believe it our not, dog skeptic me, says "oh, she will be fine let's just take her to Roswell.

NOT!

What my brilliant mind failed to compute was that a trip down to the local market DOES NOT equate to a hardcore slab-ride. It is astounding how aggressive the semi-trucks are on 70 going through Albuquerque. Actually it is amazing how aggresive all cage drivers are around here. Unfortunately a great percentage of them drive aggressively, but not well. Shoulder checking and rear-view mirror using seem to be against the rules. Fortunately we had only gone 23 miles so turning around and dropping off the Wrench Wench and the pup. Then I turned around and started over.

Fast forward to Roswell....






During the UFO festival at least most of the action takes place on Main St. from Second Ave to the South running to about Fifth Ave to the north. There were also some events being run from the Civic Center and the Military Insitute about 9 blocks North. Some may call that walking distance, but me, Nah!

Alas that, like many other details of the story are beyond the scope of this blog and must wait for the next issue of Road Show Magazine.

Here are the things which are specific to the podcast.

A bit of fun and a bit of terror from the road...

Heads Up From Cartoon Thunder's Rupert Piston

Cartoonist Rupert Piston sent us an alarming article by Mark Simon from the Animation World News which should be of concern to anyone who creates intellectual property. Actually it should be of concern to anyone who is concerned with the workings of government.

This issues here are complicated, but as I understand it the guts of it are as follows.

In its current state US copyright law states that the creator of a work owns the copyright to that work the moment it is created. Registration with the copyright office is merely a formality that helps prove the origin of the work should there be a dispute.

The proposed change would take away that automatic right of ownership and rewrite the law so that a copyright could only be claimed through registration, which is pricey, or the work could be declared "0rphan" and anyone could register it. Obviously this favors wealthy corporate entities, not artists. I believe that is a fairly accurate telling of the guts of it. For the whole scoop read the Mark Simon article linked below.



Rupert Piston sent in this article regarding important legislation in copyright law.
