Looks like they have a few events coming up in the next month or so, if any LA-based Mefites want to go. (I do. Meetup?)

Seriously, just suggest an IRL and post a link to it here. That's the way to do that.

That is really cool. I hope the culinary lab sticks around; 3D Systems just killed their consumer printer lines a couple of weeks ago.

This is like one of those magic-eye images. I don't see what's trippy about the staircase and railing.

I hit "reload without content blockers" in the hopes that they had a video demonstrating the effect that got blocked for whatever reason, but: nope

Just looks like a regular staircase and balcony with a really trippy railing.

So there really is no video of it? Perhaps the effect relies on binocular vision and thus a simple video would not show it ... but I doubt it. Video or it didn't happen!
