And welcome to The Dana Gould Hour Podcast. Fasten your enthusiasm harness, we are blasting off, yet again.   This episode is a little late arriving, my apologies. In addition to my going on staff at a new TV show, which has forced me to rearrange my schedule a bit, we also had the taping of the Dr. Z live show at the Netflix Is A Joke Festival and the launching of the Hanging With Dr. Z season 4 Indiegogo campaign.   Then we had some technical difficulties that delayed us a bit as we cleaned up some recordings and, long story short, we\u2019re late. BUT, we\u2019re here now and the next month\u2019s episode is right on schedule so we should be all caught up in no time.   We\u2019re going to start this month\u2019s episode with a discussion of Hel Mel. What is Hel Mel you ask? Well, it\u2019s short for the intersection of Heliotrope and Melrose Ave in Los Angeles, which is an arty little neighborhood over by LA City College. And it\u2019s also the name of an art gallery and art collective, located there, that was formed by actor Val Kilmer. We\u2019re going to talk to Steven Meyer, who was a longtime friend of Kilmer who ran the gallery with him. Steven has had a wide-ranging career stretching from the New York theater and music scene stretching to well, the LA art scene. Excellent conversation with Steven Meyer.   Also, Julian David Stone is here. Julian grew up in the Bay Area where he started his career as a rock 'n\u2019 roll photographer, and he\u2019s here to talk about his book of photography, No Cameras Allowed: My Career As An Outlaw Rock N Roll Photographer. In addition, He has a new novel out called It\u2019s Alive, which is a novel, but based in the very true story of the tumult, chaos and corporate fuckery that went on behind the scenes at the Universal Studios in 1930, the week before the studio began filming Frankenstein. One of the studio's all-time hits, a film with a culture impact that we still feel today, and the week before it started filming, the whole thing almost fell apart. If you like horror movies, or just movies, it\u2019s must read. Especially when you realize that what happened at Universal during this short period in 1930, is STILL going on today. Bananas.   True Tales From Weirdsville tells you the sordid tale of a man who came to be known as The Emperor Of Night, The Marquis d\u2019Hervey De Saint Denys, who, in the 1800\u2019s discovered for lack of a better term, the concept of lucid dreaming. Dreams when you know you know you\u2019re dreaming. This concept moved through the history and is still with us today. The conceit that you can actually write and direct your dreams. It\u2019s TRUE. Lucid dreaming. It\u2019s real. I think. Or is it?   As for me, on Saturday May 16th I\u2019ll be at the Historic Everett Theater in Everett Washington, just up the road from Seattle.On Saturday June 27th I\u2019ll be in Pittsburgh, PA as part of the DVE Comedy Festival and fans of Hanging with Dr Z are invited to be a part of our season 4 Indiegogo campaign.
