Bongs - The Laserbong

[chrisn]

SWIM and his friends made an amazing discovery the other night. Recently SWIM has been bringing his fancy new laserpod to many sessions with him and his friends. The laserpod is great for ambience, because it projects fascinating patterns on the ceiling, and once there's enough smoke in the room, one can see the lasers coming out of the device. For those who haven't heard of the laserpod, search it on google or check out the following youtube video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=87KJNeyPQZ8



Anyway, the other night a bong was being passed around, and SWIM randomly decided to place the bong on top of the laserpod. The bong was almost a perfect size to sit comfortable on the laserpod (although one had to be careful), and what was created was amazing. The entire bong immediately was filled with a blue-purple-red glow, and the laserbeams moved around inside the bong. Lasers interact in interesting ways with liquid and smoke, and since a bong has both this created fascinating imagery. Watching someone smoke was quite enjoyable because the smoke inside the bong took on a very mystic quality.

SWIM took some pictures on the cameraphone he had at the time, although they are not great pictures. They are a little blurry, and they make the bong only appear lit up at the bottom, while the light and lasers did extend most of the ways to the top. SWIM will try to bring a better camera to a future session.
