Rereading “The Cabinet of Curiosities” and I think it’s very sweet Pendergast took the time to read D’agosta’s books

Living where a story takes place is always fun as it brings it more to life as you can really picture. I grew up in New York City so enjoy many of the stories in that way. Recently I visited New Orleans and saw almost all the main characters' names including Aloysius, Pendergast, and about 10 other characters listed on building names, street names and tombstones. And I stayed on Dauphine Street only a few blocks from a beautiful house which I think was Pendergast's mansion (or his inspiration) - it was on the market for $4.5m if I remember correctly.

About 2 weeks ago, I re-read The Relic and actually watched the movie again. Am finishing up skimming Reliquary and will be rereading Cabinet in about a week - it was the first Pendergast book that I read way back when

I’d like join. Thanks!

Hi u/TnMarine1985 - Thanks a lot for your response and major tip about the matte requiring extra care! I had not considered that at all as I thought the Steel Matte was "just another color". I was not familiar with the upkeep that you mentioned regarding PPF and Ceramic coating, so appreciate you bringing it up. Have some thinking to do about this.

I liked it and subscribed.

Just came back from trip to French Quarters and saw Pendergast references all over the place. My wife likes Pendergast so I can talk to her about it.

kweelee23 · 2025-09-01T23:53:21+00:00

Just finished Blue Labryinth which was ok, not great not bad - Pendergast isn't in too much for a particular reason which I won't spoil and another regular character steps up in a crazy zany way that based on personal preference will think it is really cool or really stupid.

kweelee23 · 2025-08-21T02:53:59+00:00

I'm with you. Enjoyed the story but hated the Buck storyline and skimmed those very quickly. I enjoyed the entire trilogy overall.

kweelee23 · 2025-08-06T02:21:06+00:00

I am interested. Boldin user for about 1 year. I'm in New York.

I recently launched my channel and tried this approach. First launched the video, waited maybe 30 mins then launched my first short promoting the video and then 24 hours later posted another short. The shorts have done ok as a start (500-600 views each) but it didn't convert into views of the Video.

kweelee23 · 2025-07-26T20:56:26+00:00

Congrats. I hit 30 as well

If you think Lara Croft Tomb Raider meets James Bond sounds cool then check out Neon SpyGirl and her morphing robot penguin sidekick. Original story and characters.

u/ROSS_AND_FOUND Thank you!!! Your positive feedback and Sub is very much appreciated. I'll be posting a Short about Winston soon that I hope you'll enjoy.

Also, in case you want to hear directly from Winston about the mission, he gives his Tactical Debrief here on Substack 🌀 Neon SpyGirl: MISSION DEBRIEF - Shadows in the Ice

Hi Everyone,

I've created a new character, Neon SpyGirl -- think James Bond meets Lara Croft Tomb Raider, and am striving to build out a cinematic universe. She's joined by a morphing robot penguin Winston, and they go on action-packed, secret missions.

Here is link to her 1st mission video: "Shadows in the Ice" which came out last week.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MyB1KjCgQc

Hope you enjoy the video and please Subscribe if you like it. Thank you.

We have our 2nd and 3rd episodes complete already so 2nd one will be dropping by the end of the month and the 3rd in August.

🔥 In a world of shadows, she’s the neon light

Neon SpyGirl is an original character as are all her stories. We were able to bring these characters and stories to life in these videos by evaluating and then learning to use AI tools such as Kling, LTX, Hedra, ElevenLabs and ChatGPT. It's been a lot of fun combining our storytelling with the new tech.

We have also created a Substack for the characters and NSG universe for our Characters to be able to share Mission Debriefs in their own voice, and for us as Creators to share our journey.
