Clean up!
July 19, 2006

We were preparing for a show at the beginning of August, and the shop needed a little cleaning!

Kiki made a BANG! sign and finally hung her fender -- now it looks like a real neon shop! :)
Peter Kropf came over and worked on the bending table some more.
[Still left: finish the lockers.]

We've moved!
July 4, 2005

Really, we've only moved from one location to another at
the cATacLySmIc mEgAshEaR rAnCh, CMR or just "The rAnCH".

We've been in the public shared area for a number of years,
but we've expanded a lot and want to expand more, so it was
time to becmoe ''official'' at da rANch!

To those ends, Kiki and Paul Harmon have also moved their
studios to the space adjoining the new BANG! studio -- very convenient!

Our workshop in Bayview
July 12, 2004

This is our studio at Mr. Foo's shop in Bayview at the artist collective known as
the cATacLySmIc mEgAshEaR rAnCh, CMR or just "The rAnCH".

We have two ribbon burners, a 5-point cross fire and cannon fire,
and a hand torch. We still have two more hand torches to set up,
and possibly rebuild the knife fire [since we have the heads!]

We also have a bombarder designed by Mr. Foo and Sparky Bartlett.
