Team TacoTruck: LAZZZOR CHAOS!!!
Rather than write individual posts for the rest I’m just going to do one giant post with a ton of pics. Things got kinda crazy during the 2nd half of the Team TacoTruck lazzzorfest. Messy food, goofy designs, bad smells, good smells, Illustrator fights, potty breaks, disturbing popping sounds, science, fiction, mishaps, burn-through, mockery, giggling. It was amazing! We’ll try to do this again soon.
XOXOXOXO
Team TacoTruck!
Carrie drew a cute little birdie. We took a photo of it, brought it into AI, vectorized it, and cut it into a t-shirt and her phone. The phone looked great. The t-shirt looked super too, like very fine embroidery, but unfortunately it cut all the way through the fabric! So it kinda ruined the shirt. Heh, sorry about that.
Neg-Fi went a bit kooky with their logo. Ryan wouldn’t let me give him a Laxxxoor Tattoo ™, but we engraved their logo on pretty much everything else in the studio, including lots of tacos and a bagel!
About 1/3 of Team TacoTruck working on their retina tans.
Ron and Netta designed a shark mobile! Ron cut it from 3/16″ ply and it was lovely.
Who laid a stinker??? THERE’S TOO MUCH HUMMUS IN THE STUDIO!
Ryan broke his finger in a “high fiving accident” right before playing a gig last week. Really.
OF COURSE we engraved a taco truck on a taco.
While the adults were doing important work, !Rama, Dlisah, and Michelle made a big mess in the other room. Wheee!
What a great day. Thanks to everyone who came and played with us. Let’s do it again soon!

Uh, what’s the carbon footprint of using the laser to mark up all of those frivolous things, like tacos, paper towels?
I’m taking NYCR to trisquit on getting so otua-their-minds-thinking-it’s-so-damn-cool-that-they-forget-it-uses-a-lot-of-energy-and-chemicals, right?

Well sure, _all_ activities take energy. That means that you can’t do experiments without “wasting” something. But if you can’t do experiments you (and “we”) are never going to get very far. Life is full of complex trade-offs.
Doing experiments on papertowels, recycled cardboard, triskets, and tacos seems like a reasonable thing to do, especially compared to, say, doing experiments on plastics or other nasty, non-recyclable/compostable materials. Have you ever seen someone learning to weld, or use a plasma cutter? Talk about “wasted” energy. But I wouldn’t want people to _not_ learn to weld!
I’m not sure which chemicals you’re referring to; one nice thing about lasers is that they let you avoid lots of chemicals usually used in etching/cutting processes.
