I started college in 1965, and one of the first things I wanted, since I looked silly in beads, was a lava lamp for Christmas. I got a tie-dyed shirt. In short, I went through the sixties and seventies without a lava lamp, and I never wore that stupid shirt. For some reason, I thought about this silliness and decided to get one of those damn lamps. It didn't take long to find a place on the web, so I ordered up my own Christmas present (although my D70 and subsequent gear were supposed to be my Birthday *and* Christmas presents). Anyway, it came the other day, so ... PAD. Looks like a bunch of egg yolks in purple stuff. I'm feeling sleepy ...

My first Lava Lamp was purchased as a young man in probably 1967 or 68. Ive had several over the years (Dont SHAKE them when theyre hot!) and now have a nice black one with yellow lava in clear liquid. I also have a nice glitter light (since 1973) that still works, and everyone that sees it wants to buy it, (NEVER!), as well as several other cool light effect lamps. I guess Im still a hippie at heart even after forty years. (You should see my Melanie LP collection!) Peace! LOL!
I really like how you positioned the lamp to the left side and the rest of is pitch black. Very nice. I think this lamp would look fantastic on my table :::puppy dog eyes:::

Dennis, good for you on getting a lava lamp. It's never too late. This one's quite a beauty, huh? Mine is green. And I was just like you -- wanted it for years. (I'm the guy who finally got himself a Nehru jacket, about a week AFTER they went out of style, I discovered to my chagrin. Oh, and a medallion, too.)
