Episode 2 of ComicPop Visits with Six60’s Chris Mac

 

Welcome to Episode 2 of ComicPop Visits.  In this episode we visit with Chris Mac the Bass/Synth player of the New Zealand based band Six60.  The visit was done through Skype and with us being in Kansas and Chris in New Zealand we had a few fades, but I believe everyone will be able to understand what was said.  Six60 will be touring the North American region starting October 2.  To get a schedule of their tour dates you can see them below or go to their site www.six60.co.nz, to purchase tickets.  If you can’t get to one of their shows be sure to visit their “Shop” link or iTunes to purchase their self titled debut album.  It was great visiting with Chris so set back and enjoy our visit.

Millennium Falcon Experience

   

When you go to Exploration Place’s “Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination” exhibit a little extra money to go on the Millennium Falcon experience.  This is a life size mock-up of the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon.  Video plays and you get to experience a ride through space with C-3PO as your guide.  It is similar to an IMAX experience.  The cockpit does not move, but the way the film is shot it makes you feel like you are moving.  This piece of the Star Wars exhibit is an extra $3.00 per person, but it is well worth it.  Pictured above are Matt, Logan and the last picture is April and Richard.
