Despite the most freakish snowstorm we’ve ever seen, Apollo 12-turn-13 successfully launched into space. Luckily we had a couple documentarians aboard the shuttle to capture it all for the scientific record. There are fifteen more down below, but if you want the encyclopedic edition of photos, check the Facebook.

It’s official. NASA did its final space shuttle launch in June of this year, so the Mister is answering the call of duty, grabbing the wheel and taking a trip to outer space for this year’s Mister Halloween Night. Our favorite loft, 12-turn-13, is being transformed into Apollo 12-turn-13 – a spaceship capable of traveling to distant planets in but a few hours.
Captains Eamon Harkin and Justin Carter will be piloting the ship all night, a large window into the cosmos has been designed by first mate Doctor Mojo (we call him Number One), and inflatable spaceship things will be installed by Jeffrey Ralston (we call him Data).
Astral outfits will be rewarded with an on-the-house drink. Think constellations, alien life forms (yes, that is a hint that we want you to dress up as ALF), astronauts and anything else that will make you feel at home in space. If you want some inspiration, check the trailers for Fifth Element, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Barbarella, Buck Rogers and Spaceballs. Remember that the more group costumes on the spaceship, the farther and faster it’ll travel (yes, that is a hint that we want to see the entire crew of the Enterprise onboard).
Boarding is at 10pm. Get there soon after. It would be a shame to miss liftoff.

Eamon and I both by a lot of records from Juno (don’t worry, we buy local, too), so when we got a request from Juno Plus to do the August edition of their podcast, we jumped at it. The mix is from the early hours of a party back in April at 12-turn-13. We’re keeping it moody.
This Saturday, we’re back in force with our very good friends Spank and the ARTCorps for the second edition of ‘New York, Just Like I Pictured It’. If you missed the first one then you can learn a little more about what makes this collaboration so special and unique here and again here.
