Call for wacky techno-trash

[kitchen_kink]

Here's a call from our set designer on 2010: Our Hideous Future for all that old computer junk and blinky crap that you just can't bring yourself to throw away...

***
Over the next few weeks production and completion of the set of 2010: Our Hideous Future, will be under way. What would be helpful to give the set a cohesive look is submissions from you! Well, you and your friends, families, and kind neighbors that leave interesting things out on the streets for trash day. What we need are, in no particular order: Computer Boards (from those junky old relics in the basement that parts are no longer made for), old monitors (if you have one lying around for some purpose that you can't ever figure out what to do with, or kind neighbors want to throw away), old keyboards, closet touch lights, an old fan that has a slow speed, any fun sci-fi-ish dorm/bedroom decore such as you find at Spencers Gifts, Etc... and any thing that you think might have a mad scientist feel. The computer boards are really a great way of beefing up the sets and will most likely get velcro'd onto the set itself, and will not be usable after the show. As for the mad scientist looking items, we will find a way to integrate as much as we can with as little tampering as possible. If a solid mount that CAN be removed is needed, then I will get in touch with the owner and let you know the nature of the mounting and let you make the call. Ideally the things that this include are containers of a swirling glitter vortex, those lightning rod things that cause an arc of electricity to travel from the bottom to the top, a battery powered hamster and hamster wheel, static ball (this one might be covered already), ridiculous amounts or wires (the ones you thought you'd need one day, but don't remember what they go to - this may be a good time to weed out wires you don't need!) and anything else you can think of. If you can ask your friends, family, and local computer geek/hoarder if they have access to any of this, then that would make for a really awesome push towards getting this done sooner than expected. :)

Most of the sets will be constructed in my basement. If anyone is interested in the construction, I live in Inman Sq [message dietrch for the address] and would love an extra set of hands. I can always be reached at [message dietrch for the phone number], or jnadeau80 at gmail. The workable sketches will be finished this evening, and if you have something to integrate into the set, just email me and I can work it in. Just remember, Blade Runner meets a Dark Tardis meets to a lesser degree Mystery Science Theater 3000, dark with a pop living machine that has consumed all that it has come in contact with, much to the item in questions ire.

Thanks for your help!

We've definitely got an old monitor we're looking to get rid of, and I've got some old computer boards in the basement that aren't doing anyone any good. I'll send an email to jnadeau80 when I get home.

I've got a dead flatscreen LCD.
