Mr. Parker is a graduate MIT in 1975. He spent the past 10 years developing this idea. It is by **FAR** the most intence thing I have **EVER** seen !!! The boys had one in portland and TWO in providence in the spring -- much to my frinds and my superise. You see in boston there are two places to check out these orbs ... The compton gallery at MIT -=- they have about a dozen including tubular ones and spheres that are three times the size f the ones the dead has !! also at ... Gallery on the Square -- at copley place -- accross from the BPL on Boylston St. They sell them. The ones the dead have run for == get this $3,000 each ! hefty but.. If you ever get a chance to check these things out ****DO SO**** OH, I didn't mention... These things are spheres of glass filled with some combination of inert gasses that if electronicly charged create the forth state of matter -- plasma!! (Similar to lightning) AND when one touches the ball a ground is made and the plasma ATTRACTS to your hands, etc.. !!!!!!! SO UNBELIEVEABLE .. I could ramble for hours (NO shit.) anyway Check them out if you get the chance. See y'all at SPAC ---> on (YAHOOOOOOOOOWEEE) .. I'm still recovering from NOT being at the Greeks :-( 'one way or another, this darkness has got to give' pasta fazool josepi me right on down, mau.
