New employee orientation at Monterey Bay Aquarium
-
For some elder color - I was at Pacific Grove Middle School when the aquarium was built. Before it, cannery row was all ruins - and it was sooooo cool down there. It was
a magical place for a kid to explore. Everyone got passes to the aquarium when it was built, and it was a treasure to have as an after school destination. One particular highlight was playing music for evening events there. -
@grechaw I read that the hovden cannery guy wanted to build an aquarium in PG! He even got quotes for it but didn’t do it

Attending a staff-only internal guitar concert in the open sea exhibit this morning
You can watch some live cams here (of the animals, not the concert)
-
Meeting in the kelp forest (we are closed today for a staff only event)
-
@skinnylatte you really have the absolutely greatest place of work.
-
@tante I can’t believe it happened and that I get to experience all of this joy
-
There really was a guitar concert in front of the sea nettles this morning
-
@[email protected] my spouse often puts on the live cams of the jellies for ourselves and the cats
we all love it! -
@[email protected] (also one day I will get a tattoo of a jelly to swirl around my Medusa tattoo (because! not only are jellies amazing (they're a fucking colony!) but also jellyfish are called Medusa in Spanish!))

Move over, JK ‘TERFY’ Rowling.
Here’s ’Hairy Otter’, written by (probably) JK Owl

@skinnylatte hahaha that gift shop is out of control. The big otter was really rotting and falling apart for a few years but I think they either repaired it or replaced it because it doesn't look as ratty now.
The Ed Ricketts lab next door is worth a visit when they open it for tours once a month.
-
@douglasvb haha yes it
Is so kitschyI plan to check out Ed Rickett’s house soon
-
@skinnylatte Shouldn't that be J. K. "Superb" Owl ?
-
@skinnylatte Tehy're so psychedelic. Is there some psycho-biological reason for that?
-
@skinnylatte we now all live vicariously through you and please don’t stop telling us about the day to day
