Lady Boys Of Thailand – an inside look

ArnoldBenedict — Wed, 09 May 2012 19:56:32 +0000

Downinthewell’s Arnold Benedict recently travelled to Thailand in order to investigate the dark underbelly of the toenail trade – and was never heard from again. This footage is all that was found – edited by the very talented Egon (Uselfrucht?).

This is what happens when you are unclear about what you would like your friends to do with your video archives. There will be more to come.

My First GoPro Video – An Incredible View

ArnoldBenedict — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 20:27:52 +0000

I was unfortunate enough to lose a dear close friend (my Kodak Playsport Zx3 – a loyal – yet somewhat unreliable friend) in the middle of the ascent up Angels Landing in Zion National Park, UT. I was fortunate enough to have the foresight to bring my brand new, never before used GoPro camera along with me – fully charged. The following video is the result of a long hike up…and a breathtaking view.

If you’ve never been, please find time to go. It’s amazing, and well worth the trip. Enjoy the National Parks before they’re strip mines and oil fields.

Stay tuned for the final moments of the Kodaks life.

And, like an old dog does – i’ve gotten another Zx3 (against my better judgement) – just for kicks.

Prank Day – An April Fools Tribute and Undiagnosed Schizophrenics Guide to Staying Fit

ArnoldBenedict — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:52:37 +0000

I have seen a lot of April Fools pranks gone bad, and a lot of bad April Fools pranks gone worse – the internet is full of them. This is my insignificant addition. A day dedicated to pulling pranks on myself. The world wide web didn’t ask for this…but it sure has it now.

email me. I like it. things get lonely here on the range.

How To Fly A Plane – Bored In LA

ArnoldBenedict — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 21:01:08 +0000

Have you ever wanted an excuse to fly a four passenger Cherokee single propeller airplane? I never actually thought about it really, until travel zoo provided me with a severely discounted coupon right around birthday time for the Girl. So i took it as an opportunity to check a non-existent item off my non-existent list (this thing’s never going to get finished if i never actually start it…and then continuously add stuff).

So as a gift to myself, and anyone who may have thought i was Dead as a result of this journey – i present a less than short (7 minutes) video of the experience. I’d like to thank the friendly (if not a little unorganized) staff at Encore Flight Academy for doing what they promised to do (return me safely to the ground), and my nerves for being made of something similar to steel.

Have fun.

Stay tuned for a few more short edits from recent (and not so recent) trips and etc. I’ve got a couple bigger projects out of my way and can begin tackling these smaller ones more regularly.

I get bored just like you do – send me some links of some things you do when you get bored downinthewell@gmail.com

James Greer ‘As We Go Up, We Go Down’ – Hugs And Disses Podcast

ArnoldBenedict — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 01:10:17 +0000

I had the pleasure of acting as ‘sound guy’ for the past few episodes of a local LA podcast Hugs And Disses. In one of their more recent episodes, they had guest James Greer (Guided By Voices) in the studio talking a bit about his new project ‘Detective’ and other hilariously inspiring subjects (such as the dirty things one could have done to Stevie Nicks way back in the day)

Here is a great video excerpt I shot. A new take on an old GBV song. Enjoy it – check out their podcast, it’s uncomfortably revealing – and you’ll learn more about things you never thought you’d enjoy.

Live Music and Entertainment – March 15, 2012 – Di Piazzas – Long Beach, CA

ArnoldBenedict — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 22:49:43 +0000

If a weekly improv show (friday nights at The Improv Space with ‘The Board’) isn’t enough action for you – come down to what will turn into a monthly variety show of music, booze, fun times, and prizes – hosted by yours truly. The flier is below – if you’re in the area, print it up and come on down. Your friends are sure to enjoy it!

I scribbled a leper as a contribution to an infographic for Holy Taco and it made it into the post. Congratulations to me and my constant boredom. Enjoy it for what it is, I take no responsibility for the content of the infographic – just the last scribble on the page.

stay tuned for more scribbles. Have a happy extra day.
