The 'Far, and Antique advertisements
Fast and Straight' exhibition showcases antique and historical guns from the Turtle Bay private collection as well as from local residents' collections. It's set up just outside the art gallery. The oldest gun on display is a Revolutionary War musket belonging to Turtle Bay.
'We're basically taking a look at a snapshot in time and how things have changed,' Osborn said.
Local enthusiasts who own antique guns are invited to bring them to Turtle Bay on Saturday to learn more about the weapons. Expert firearm identifiers will be available from 10 a.m

At first, the only screen being fed by the two closed-circuit video cams down front was on a tiny antique TV on a pedestal. The backdrop was the Renaissance battle scene from the cover of the album: goddess with tits out, Frenchmen with muskets. Then, the big orbs descended from the ceiling, flashing marble patterns that eventually became images fed from the cameras. Later, a giant screen came down, showing chopped and screwed images from the stage.
Musically, the sound was BIG
