A vaporwave-themed interactive trivia station.
A large touch screen with the words “Global Westerns” A screen that reads: JAPAN Samurai films such as those of Akira Kurosawa were influenced by and influencers of Westerns around the world. Seven Samurai (1954) was remade as The Magnificent Seven (1960) in the U.S., Sholay (1975) in India, and elsewhere through film history. A similar "building the team" plot appears in the self-proclaimed "Ramen Western" comedy Tampopo (1985), in which a team including the cowboy milk-truck driver Goro works to build a successful ramen shop. Sukiyaki Western Django (2007) also adopts a food metaphor (sukiyaki is a hot-pot dish) to pay homage to Italian and American Westerns and titles. Its epic story is set in the frontier town of Yuta, Nevata.

And I always appreciate a good Nudie suit.
A tan suit and cowboy hat with rhinestones and orange appliqué.

I’ve been meaning to post more maker-y things on here, so here’s my @alpenglow.bsky.social I Voted! badge that I made a few weeks ago at a CRASH soldering hangout.
A PCB badge with red and blue LEDs and “I Voted! text printed on the front.
