SIA VEGAS 2008: Hoover Dam Innards

After a little bit of online tomfoolery this morning, as well as a couple minutes inside the tradeshow talking biz, we rented a car and raced south to the Hoover Dam.This would've been my third or fourth visit. Always a treat. My first visit was in 1995, as I made my way back to Michigan, a roundabout way through Tahoe/Vegas/Flagstaff, etc.I remember "standing on the edge of the Hoover Dam" just like a Bob Mould song. But only for quick second, and I jumped back down. Just for the fuck of it.01. "Dam schematics."02. "The Colorado River, shooting underneath us."03. "Big, big turbines powering the Southwest USA."04. "Underneath the dam."05. "Looking out a ventilation shaft."06. "Looking down."07. "A crack from 1938."08. "Richter, man, richter."09. "End of the shift."10. "That big dam."
