	6:14pm LovecraftDude888: haha sorry. Telstar was 1961 or 62...longgg after Sputnik was up
	6:15pm LovecraftDude888: i also read that the orbits depicted may not all be even accurate
	6:16pm P-9Ø: Sputnik was not a "comms" satellite, and it had come down long before the '64 Fair.
	6:16pm Elliott Simon: they actually had concerts in the NY State Pavillion after the Worlds Fair...I saw the MC5 there, the Stooges and David Peel in like 68 or 69
	6:16pm LovecraftDude888: I was actually over at that park and museum a few times the past several years....so much fun. But wish they'd restore the fountains and things.....Right, P90...Sputnik was not like Telstars
	6:17pm Elliott Simon: I think FMU might have sponsored it
	6:17pm LovecraftDude888: I heard they had concerts there..they still do, but usually nothing fabulous, alas. They really should....they have that theater there
	6:18pm P-9Ø: @LCD: No, the design with the three "rings" was purely aesthetic, where does it say on the Webs that they were alleged to represent the actual positions of the satellites?
	6:18pm LovecraftDude888: even Bruce Vilanch was there a while back
	6:19pm LovecraftDude888: ahh a few places... www.bigwaste.com...
	6:19pm P-9Ø: Bruce really gets around, that little slut.
	6:20pm P-9Ø: "the city's master-builder" Haha
	6:22pm LovecraftDude888: heehee I was over there 2 summers back and the fountains were going full on...it was too cool.
	6:23pm LovecraftDude888: also wasn't Elliott Murphy's Dad involved with the AquaShow in that area years ago???
	6:23pm Elliott Simon: I havent been there probably sonce the 60s..ridden by it it looks pretty effed up
	6:24pm LovecraftDude888: that NYC diorama is great...inside the museum,..also they renovated the whole museum I need to go back and soon to see that! I just recalled that.
	6:25pm Elliott Simon: really?.....am I remembering right that there is a huge map of NY State on the floor of the NYS pavillion
	6:25pm LovecraftDude888: the park itself is kept up pretty well...although lack of restrooms which is really infuriating....Tennis centres great....not that I use them. The Museum though is great though smallish
	6:25pm P-9Ø: I hate to date myself like this, but I was there many times as a kid. One of the things about the Fair was that it lasted a couple years, so folks living in the area could keep going back, hang out and really soak up the vibe
	♥ 6:25pm dale: the worlds fair was exciting because everyone got their world picture from movietone news and the dumont network and this was mind blowing. i don't think it would play today.
	6:26pm LovecraftDude888: I dunno about that..the 3D diorama Map of NYC and topological maps are inside the museum now
	6:26pm marmalade kitty: Jimi hendrix experience performed electric lady land, and soft machine played there at flushing meadows in August 23 1968..
	6:27pm Elliott Simon: Yeah...I was at the WF lots of time too....it was fairly commercial as I remember
	6:27pm LovecraftDude888: I love the burnt out empty fountains and weird lake....I figured, J. G. Ballard would have LOVED it now...I mean, the ghosts of the orig. Grounds
	6:27pm LovecraftDude888: ha, Soft Machine! crazee
	6:27pm Elliott Simon: I didnt see Hendrix there
	6:28pm P-9Ø: @Elliot: there was a huge scale model of New York City, it's been updated several times and is still on display: http://www.buildyourownnewyork.com/panorama.html
	♥ 6:28pm dale: chris - you could do a great show on moses, the master builder.
	6:29pm LovecraftDude888: yep, seen that 2x now. inside the museum building closer to front right of the entrance area...but could be a bit different post-renovation. Mainly it's a nice art museum, and exhibits on the Fairs and other old NYC artifact collections
	♥ 6:29pm ottovonbqe: AP Mike wrote a book?
	6:30pm marmalade kitty: http://tedmusicspace.wordpress.com/2012/08/23/in-flushing-meadows-park-new-york-the-jimi-hendrix-experience/
	6:31pm LovecraftDude888: I like it cause parking always near the museum, and nice park to roam around and get some exercise and sit and stare at the Uni
	6:33pm Elliott Simon: Now there was Singer Bowl but that wasn't the World's Fair site was it?
	6:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Looks like this would go well w/ the PBS 'American Experience' '1964' episode I thot quite good: www.pbs.org... ...altho' looks like they took the video down ? Hmm. Their premise that America was still more or less still in the 50s until '64 - & then very much not - seems good. It was my 1st year of Life...There'll be all the 50th Anniversary stuff - British Invasion & so on...
	6:33pm Elliott Simon: I think I saw the Doors there or the Who.....
	6:35pm P-9Ø: There was a big outdoor stage, with dance floor (!) in front of it, lots of Pop acts played there, and "the kids" would dance. The Watusi, The Twist, The Frug, The Monkey, The Crawl, etc. I'm trying to find a list of the acts that played there; I remember it was like Three Dog Night, Blood, Sweat & Tears, those kind of things. Creedence?
	6:36pm LovecraftDude888: I had to settle for walking around with my IPod on
	6:37pm LovecraftDude888: this book looks great. Gonna have to get it...and should be right front n center at the museum shop
	6:37pm Elliott Simon: I am thinking Singer Bowl was different than the Pavillion, Singer Bowl was huge
	6:40pm P-9Ø: I'm trying to find the place where I read that the designer, Gilmore Clarke, had originally conceived of the rings as representing the first three communications satellites, which were the only ones in orbit at the time he did the design. (There were more by the time the Fair opened.)
	6:41pm LovecraftDude888: too many rings to put up by the time the Fair was gonna open and erect the Unisphere i guess
	6:43pm LovecraftDude888: an Undersea Colony sounds keen to me...I have a secret one off Bayside, Queens....a well kept secret. my weekend digs.... live like Sea Monkeys!
	6:44pm marmalade kitty: sounds about right..
	6:44pm jt: I have a 16mm film of the Worlds Fair in Queens. But am unable to view it... Anyone have a 16mm projector and want to set up a viewing? Is it worth anything? I am just curious, enjoying the show!
	6:45pm P-9Ø: @Chris T & Joseph Tirella(ay! Paisano!): Don't forget the fabulous corporate-sponsored pavilions, the GE Carousel of Progress, the Chrysler Pavilion where you could ride in time-traveling automated cars through immersive Disney-designed animated panoramas...
	6:45pm Elliott Simon: and by 1967 no one really cared about the WF anymore or even remembered it much, and then they had this one in Canada that was supposed to be less commercial
	6:45pm jt: ps. I believe it is a "Professional Promotion film" , not a home movie.
	6:46pm LovecraftDude888: what's that lyric in They Might Be Giants "Ana Ng" tune....who had been there? etc. hehe wow your film might indeed be valuable archival. don't have a projector, alas
	♥ 6:46pm dale: i'll bet irwin has some fine corporate records from the time.
	♥ 6:47pm dale: sounds like bob and ray
	6:47pm LovecraftDude888: there was the little-known HPLDude Pavilion which presciently predicted my later birth in 68 in Queens....and my holding forth on WFMU
	6:48pm Peteski: What about the amount of criticism leveled towards the World's Fair coming from Hip New Yorkers (like us), about suburbanites waiting online for hours in August in a parking lot to see a dishwasher
	6:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Tomorrowland' - that 60s Optimism - & that blend of Innocence & its' Loss that characterizes the 60s & makes its' Expressions so powerful & enduring ...that is dead & gone - & that is the over-arching timewarp feeling I got watching the PBS 1964 thing - & LittleSteven remarked on exactly this on his latest show interviewing David Chase...
	6:49pm P-9Ø: @Elliot; "Expo '67", yeah , it was a famous dud, by that time "establishment", "square" things like World's Fairs were passe. Also, it was in Montreal and Canada was still kind of a joke...
	6:50pm LovecraftDude888: then the Expos were a joke but that's another tale....
	6:50pm Elliott Simon: which resulted in teh Montreal Expos Baseball team...another famous dude
	♥ 6:50pm George of Troy: Great show, guys. I grew up in Maspeth Queens, and spent a lot of time in Flushing Meadows Park in the late 70s-early 80s. My recollection is very much the same as Chris's: Awesome, otherworldly structures everywhere, seemingly forgotten and overgrown. I recall an aviary in one section of the park that was closed to the public by that point, but I desperately wanted to break into it.
	6:51pm LovecraftDude888: I wasn't too sure about the Mariners, either as a kid...but they later got going a bit
	♥ 6:51pm dale: Peteski - it was a talking dishwasher maybe?
	6:51pm Elliott Simon: dud....but then didn't Shea open with this Worlds Fair in Queens
	6:51pm P-9Ø: @RevRab: You've been ravin about that PBS 1964 thing all week, I've gotta see it. Does it mention "Jonny Quest", by ant chance?
	6:51pm LovecraftDude888: George..that's amazing. I walked around the entire grounds about 5x the past few years...except the zoo which I need to get back to
	6:51pm Peteski: @dale - probably, ha!
	6:53pm Peteski: (for some reason they left me home - my brother went - I am not bitter, I swear)
	♥ 6:53pm dale: gents - they'll be saying the same thing about don la fontaine 50 years from now about his voice. 'why does he sound so hokey?'
	6:53pm Elliott Simon: No..the blue and orange is from the NY Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers
	6:53pm jt: The automatic dishwasher is a great 'peace-keeper" in this house hold.. Ours doesn't talk but it sings
	6:54pm jt: I hear the Phillip Johnson "thing" is not long for this world...
	6:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @P-90: No cartoons - but in two hours they did mention even Sitcoms getting weirder & expressing the Social Change.
	6:55pm Peteski: Jean Sheperd did nothing but make fun of the fair on the radio at the time
	♥ 6:55pm George of Troy: LovecraftDude: I really need to get back there soon. It's been too long. Ha! I was just going to mention the movement to save the pavilion.
	6:56pm Elliott Simon: yeah that is a big problem that it is Queens and not Manhatan about a 50 million dollar problem
	6:57pm Peteski: FriendsofMoveThePavillion.org
	6:58pm P-9Ø: When you hear the soundtracks of these promos and newsreels, the rhetoric is very much in a style that exemplified a 1930's-1950's mindset, all that Civics-class mentality. The actual experience of the Fair for those who attended, was much more contemporary to the early 1960"s: Corporations as the friendly producers of the products that would make life great in the Future, for a happy, employed, affluent middle-class
	6:59pm P-9Ø: "...controlled nucular fusion...."
	7:00pm marmalade kitty: never innocent RR63
