welcome everyone Adam through here to a
0:03
very rainy overcast Palm Springs
0:08
afternoon see the sign behind me says
0:11
event parking that's because where I'm
0:13
heading is probably about a half a mile
0:17
give or take
0:18
from this location because the
0:20
neighborhood does not want you putting a
0:23
vehicle there is that about the same
0:25
distance would you say I didn't catch
0:28
any of that I was just out for a walk
0:31
join me don't even think about stopping
0:37
on this thoroughfare as you can see
0:39
local traffic only and there are people
0:43
placed here just to make sure you abide
0:45
by the rules however if you have a
0:48
permit you are allowed that you bring
0:50
yours no just to give a little
0:52
perspective it's not only that Street
0:56
nor only this one yet another and
1:05
straight ahead
1:07
it's where I'm heading it's all it's
1:09
pretty much everywhere you look they are
1:12
not allowing you to park first glimpse
1:14
looks rather incredible especially with
1:18
the mountains as a backdrop that's
1:20
that's someone's yard right there out
1:23
front we got Santa Claus on what appears
1:25
to be a cross between a piece of farm
1:28
equipment and a motorcycle and his
1:30
reindeer also made from automobile parts
1:36
the innards are electronic in his belly
1:44
it's like digitized motion right there
1:47
in the stomach
1:49
dun dun dun dun dun dun dun Robo lights
1:55
tell if you're naughty or nice right
1:59
there on his chest don't walk under that
2:02
ladder it's bad luck mr. Claus up top
2:06
one of the Chipmunks over here under a
2:09
football helmet and aliens do exist okay
2:16
it's time
2:17
bout to go about to go in underneath
2:20
this this archway it's happening it's
2:25
happening I would get very dizzy if I
2:28
was spinning around in a circle rapidly
2:31
like this whoa hello there lots of
2:34
spiders on top of these pet carriers and
2:38
a an eight-legged creature inside I'm
2:42
noticing the color pink is used quite a
2:44
bit through this thoroughfare and
2:48
there's a basketball hoop a word of
2:50
advice do not stand underneath it this
2:52
is like stepping into a completely other
2:55
world can you see it through the foliage
2:57
there's a clown mouth there and also
2:59
strobe light or go directly under its
3:02
teeth and peek in what the heck is going
3:06
on that however is the tip of the
3:09
iceberg every corner you turn is more
3:13
amazing stuff one thing I didn't realize
3:17
a planking was still in style Oh
3:20
now I get it these are the arms that's
3:23
the head and the body is a soda pop
3:27
machine that's the torso is it just me
3:30
or do you hear yelling and growling all
3:33
around me and there's like bats hanging
3:35
from this little tunnel
3:38
we got an Extra Terrestrial Kringle and
3:42
then next to the merry-go-round are some
3:46
oxen whoa what the heck is the Easter
3:52
Bunny or one of its relatives doing
3:55
riding that was that a motorcycle over
3:58
there why are you in there who stuffed
4:02
you in there it was you wasn't it yes
4:07
that's an actual recording that's coming
4:13
from that little boombox
4:44
just to give some perspective
4:44
those are neighborhood homes you know
4:47
probably a short very light stone's
4:50
throw from this
5:07
or there's quite a ruckus happening down
5:07
there
5:16
totally would expect this creature to
5:20
make that gurgling sound it's the
5:22
one-eyed purple snake thing looks as if
5:27
Donald's having a pretty good time this
5:30
little place that this is not a normal
5:33
refrigerator freezers left open but
5:35
there are arms hands and a head take a
5:40
look at that the steering wheel is a fan
5:42
spinning around at rapid speed there's
5:44
no a/c in there the engine is not run by
5:48
normal gasoline but by these jackal oh
5:51
is this decaf or extra shot coffee I
5:56
couldn't use I could use a little little
5:59
coffee now though I don't think that's
6:00
what that is okay what do you think are
6:03
they waving at me gently or are they
6:05
trying to snatch me up and pull me deep
6:08
into their world that might be going a
6:10
tad too fast where's the right operator
6:14
slow that down just a little bit people
6:16
are gonna get disoriented on that
6:18
attraction oh it's you okay we'll let it
6:23
slide you know what you're doing maybe
6:26
they weren't nice maybe they're naughty
6:28
trying to mix it up a bit
6:30
a dove of some sort with tentacles on
6:35
her back
6:40
a top
6:43
of this UFO
6:53
as I veer this direction I'm gonna head
6:53
back this way and just peek in this
6:57
window oh hello there riding shotgun
7:06
seems as if he uses everything for his
7:08
art there goes the parking ticket people
7:13
they're not playing around everything
7:15
but the kitchen sink is used even
7:20
bathroom toilets a couple of them some
7:24
kitchen not a sink but microwaves
7:28
household vacuum a couch
7:32
well wicker porch furniture and over
7:37
here a little homage to Star Trek I have
7:40
to say I like the idea of placing the
7:43
lights behind the doors of the newspaper
7:46
vending machines looks pretty cool now
7:49
that I look at this from this angle I
7:51
realize this is some sort of Arsenal
7:53
it's like a shoe it's kind of like old
7:56
Mother Hubbard but instead of living in
7:59
the shoe it's used as some sort of like
8:03
a tank
8:16
out on the lagoon are some fishermen not
8:16
sure what they're they're catching in
8:18
they're gonna head down this little
8:20
tunnel oh man there's a werewolf on
8:23
board that's what that growling is holy
8:27
cow it's a werewolf a lot larger
8:32
property why's that I had expected out
8:36
front
8:39
it's really hard to give the perspective
8:41
through video on just how many items are
8:44
out here like this
8:49
that's a snail right there got
8:52
Pumpkinhead guy there just chilling and
8:55
deer faced man on a Harley and all this
9:02
themed around the holidays da da da da
9:07
da dun dun dun dun dun you can even
9:10
leave a letter to Santa at the North
9:13
Pole they will mail it to him Wow
9:15
it just goes on and on and huh this
9:21
place is big Rudolph is that you oh my
9:25
apologies I got you confused with
9:27
someone else while my attention was
9:28
drawn into there I didn't even notice
9:30
the 25-foot stagecoach holy crud that
9:34
thing's huge is that the Grinch over
9:37
there yeah I think I think it is the
9:39
Grinch
9:39
cuz I kind of disguised there in the
9:42
corner of the wall appears to be quite a
9:44
few theme park attraction ride vehicles
9:48
being repurposed and used even the types
9:51
of ones you'd see in front of grocery
9:53
stores you throw a quarter in like this
9:56
one whoa will whoa how did I miss that
10:01
fella right there yes see the stockings
10:08
hung there old toys and normal everyday
10:12
articles that people discard of is what
10:14
is used to create all this I'm picking
10:17
up a theme of the Mickey Mouse dolls
10:19
being devoured by skeletons they're
10:25
everywhere
10:26
Ronald McDonald with a machete
10:37
that noise getting a little bit of a
10:37
bird's-eye view
10:38
oh yeah from up top up here how many
10:44
acres is us that's two it's just two
10:46
acres seems like it seems like much more
10:49
it might be but that's what it's on
10:51
that's what it that's what I've been
10:52
told on that it is on paper I know it
10:55
seems more like war
10:57
so the roller coaster track is made out
10:59
of lounge chairs yeah and they you just
11:04
put lights all around it to that yeah
11:06
track itself out of PVC oh look how just
11:10
like loops oh that's pretty extreme yeah
11:13
that's a downward straight downward
11:17
track been doing a row lights for the
11:20
last 32 years I began the annual art
11:23
light display my very first light
11:25
display back in 1986 at the age of 12
11:27
basically what's happening is that I'm
11:30
gonna transition into a new space
11:32
actually it's a very positive thing you
11:35
know I've been wanting it to go into a
11:36
larger space because as you can see I
11:38
actually need more space but you only
11:39
have two acres here yeah as far as next
11:42
year goes will you have it here we have
11:43
to be at the night display I'll be in a
11:45
different location so I threw out this
11:47
hole in this year I'm gonna be working
11:48
very hard I'm trying to get something
11:51
going and of course it's gonna start you
11:52
know kind of small from the beginning in
11:54
the new and a new location but it will
11:57
grow very fast and it will grow
11:58
exponentially but it will be probably at
12:01
some point I would say we're going to
12:02
executed several years it will surpass
12:04
what's here Wow
12:05
yeah and it'll be in Palm Springs it'll
12:07
be right here in Palm Springs
12:08
Wow so you'll have this spot and another
12:10
spot well yeah well this here there just
12:15
be the normal - Gnomeo artwork so that's
12:18
where people will be going
12:19
that's something to look forward to and
12:21
the new location will be your a
12:23
year-round attraction people be able to
12:24
come anytime they want during the during
12:27

12:51
cookies inside here but then I quickly
12:53

12:54
work it wasn't a enough space to
12:57
maneuver in a round head slot machine up
13:01
there this is a trash can rocket and
13:07
then look at the size of this guy
13:08

13:27
another alien with a candy cane

13:33
microwaves are used as the pieces of art
13:37
including one of the only microwaves
13:40
which has been microwaved inside another
13:45
microwave anywhere in the world that's a
13:49
that's a rarity right there Darth Vader
13:52
is that you looks like something you
13:55

13:58
that might be a relation to some Vader
14:07

14:07
house you don't want to end up on that
14:09
shelf that's not a shelf you want to be
