The Integraton has gone big time: a pretty lengthy and interesting in the New York Times Magazine: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/08/20/style/tmagazine/welcome-to-the-integratron.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&version=HpSectionSumSmallMedia&module=pocket-region®ion=pocket-region&WT.nav=pocket-region

Enjoy.

Who would have thought there are Integratron dirtbags

The Karl sisters soon became part of a circle of Integratron regulars — traveling to Landers on weekends, sleeping in their rental cars and spending days beneath the dome in marathon sound-immersion sessions.

And here I thought this would be a nice informative thread about calculus.

Both I and van Tassel worked for Hughes Aircraft. Take my word for it. He was just as normal as myself.

The Integratron is a really cool place. Did a sound bath there a few years ago.

Met Joanne there but know Nancy from her work as Executive Director of the Mojave Desert Land Trust. She really has done so much to help protect the high desert and it's land and species. Did a hike with her last spring in some newly acquired MDLT park adjacent land (to add to a wildlife corridor) and she is just so special. On top of the fact that she helped preserve and maintain the Integratron.

Both sisters are truly amazing women.

Sad how all the equipment, storage tanks, etc in this photo from 1983, vanished. What were they?????

Story is that after van Tassel died in late '70s, his wife sold all that could move, just to pay off debts. His notes and books lost, too.

It's just a wooden shell, now. But still very cool. Went to a party/event there a decade ago, with Johnette Napolitino (of Concrete Blonde) performing. Amazing! Psyched that it it has been carefully restored and is open for events.

^^^i attended that, WooWee!

Nancy and Joanne are from NY. Nancy was a lawyer there, so they prolly got some leverage?
