Road Trip 2k24: Part 2: Roswell - part 2

After some much needed sleep I started bright an early (well, early-ish) by visiting Spaceport Roswell and trying out one of the VR experience.

(I forgot to take pictures of the inside.) it's a well done area, with a big sliding scifi airlock door, only undercut a little by the "crew" wearing uniforms from Star Trek Discovery.

The VR movie is... Fine. It's fine. It's amateur writing, amateur voice acting, and amateur directing, using a lot of unity store assets, but there is a certain charm to it and it was only $15 so I can't hate it.

In through the front of the store is both Bricktown, a kids Lego experience and the waiting area for the Roswell UFO Tour.

The tour is... Look, I don't want to be mean and say it's bad, because it was somewhat enjoyable, but it's a tour of things that aren't there anymore. It's been almost 80 years since a military officer made a sarcastic joke about capturing a UFO and almost all of the buildings from that time are either gone or have been turned into Mexican restaurants. (Roswell has great food btw, more on that in a later post.)

The tour also goes pretty hard on the government conspiracy narrative, and as someone who isn't a moron can actually think critically doesn't believe the Earth has been visited by extraterrestrials I was fighting through most of the tour to not roll my eyes.

That's pretty much it as far as UFO stuff there in town,unless you count the dozen or so shops on main street selling generic alien merch.

The other tourist draw for the city are some shockingly nice museums for a city of this size. Roswell has both The Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art (forgot to get pictures) and the Roswell Museum, which features a ton of art from local artists as well as an exhibit on local rocket scientist Emmitt L. Brown Robert H. Goddard, including a recreation of his workshop!

That's about it as far as local tourism opportunities.

It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.

Song of the Day!

Hmm, another video I've never seen, love the song of course!

3.5 should post tomorrow as well! Kind of funny, when I posted 3.1 the plan was to post the following four episodes over the next 4 days and just now 3.5 is getting posted! So many things pop up to get in the way of that plan but that is life!

After episode 3, I'll start posting episode 4 which is pretty much done and then Episode 1 of Gracelyn Matlock AND then return to Frida with an interlude.

I hope everyone is enjoying it so far though! I'm worried that people are not but that is nothing new, my confidence when it comes to my writing and storytelling by default is low but...I've told myself I will either finish this legacy generation or retire from here entirely!
