Subject: Main Audio Recordings from XI-X-Day are Double-Plus Good; Whew

Pater Nostril's sound-board recordings, with a little audience
ambience mixed in from a live mic, are oozingly and squirtingly
pristine.

What we do not seem to have recorded are the bulk of the semi-
unplugged Thursday night jam with Pisces ranting, or the Sunday wee-
hours jam with Rev. Angry Larry, Rev. Zombear and Unmasked Drummer.
Any witnesses to those lost concerts who happen to have telekinetic
ability are urged to "record" the wavelengths from your memory on to
digital or analog recording media a.s.a.p., before you forget what it
sounded like.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I have just discovered I was wrong!

It seems I have 43 minutes of Thursday night jam after all!

I didn't see that part of the show because I was at dinner or goo or
somewhere, but apparently on my way there I dropped off my Super Secret
Spy Audio Recorder and stereo mic, leaving it sitting at the
Registration table on RECORD. It caught a pretty decent bunch of Pisces
ranting over Rev. Angry Larry guitar, "Houston We Have a Problem" one
might title it, followed by a guy ranting about Detroit and another guy
ranting about Wyoming. I would like to know who those two guys are.
Then Scalpod is heard ranting about money.

Then there is another person ranting in time to the music... not sure
who he is either.

Anyway it isn't bad-sounding, at least on my computer speakers and with
my ears. The original is a compressed WMA file (like an MP3 only
Windows Media) and I will probably post it to a.b.m.s. soon.

Hmm, I just now realized the very end of the recording has me returning
in time to discover that the super-drunk fuck-up dude had broken my
most recently-purchased tripod. I will probably cut that part before
posting the audio.

Nigel and Joy replaced the tripod with a much better one, so I ended up
ahead, but the super-drunk fuck-up guy owes them about $40. I am not
sure who the super-drunk fuck-up guy was. Evidently I was not the only
person who was angry about the guy (who was ushered from the stage when
he started happily jumping up and down on the table full of our
electronic gear). Nonetheless, that particular dumbass is not to be
confused with the Chickenhed members, who were completely deaf yet
never stopped yelling, but they did not joyfully jump up and down on
anyone's equipment that I witnessed.

Wei and I have been editing our photos. We only keep about 1 in 15 for
"publishing". We're about halfway through. There were 1115 of them.
Once those are all selected down, I will give them good labels. We have
also been emailed photos from Rev. Anna Dynamite, Agent Lloyd and Rev.
Steve Scynic. I figure to label those with something besides file
numbers, and post those too to a.b.s.

Although my DV video camera jammed up late Sunday and won't eject, and
must go to the shop, I have borrowed another DV cam from my Satanic Gay
Pagan Jewish Masonic neighbor, and plan to start copyinging that stuff
uncut to DVD using my el cheapo DVD recorder, and then compressing the
view-worthy sections to DivX so I can post them in shitty form on
Google Video and in slick form on a.b.m.s.

I have a feeling some of this won't happen until after Starwood.

Everyone and their mother seemed pretty up in arms about that guy.
I'm not sure why, he sounds like a really reasonable sort of fellow.
I wish I knew who he was so I could commend him on so effortlessly
blending in with our society of angry and confused misfits.

Also: How big was his head?

I'm in the process of giving our photos names of some sort and will
probably send a disc to you tomorrow. I will make sure not to include
the 53908235 pictures I took of the back of Wei's head during dinner
one time. I was a little unclear in the head for some reason and
apparently got very attracted to something on the other side of Wei,
because I went trigger crazy with Sifu's super fast camera which
assumed Wei's head was my intended target and focused only on that.
It is a very nice back-of-the-head, but as one of my favorite movies
advised me, "stare at the back of your own fucking head."

Chalk it up to the goo. I not only recorded the last 45 minutes of
that Thursday night jam, but I VIDEOTAPED it, too! Or somebody did.
Probably me. I guess I remembered it happening, but I didn't remember
that I saw it happening through a viewfinder.

I have just finished the post-X-Day-Drill chore of rewinding through
and labeling all the hour-long videotapes, of which 16 went through my
camera (and the last one is still stuck in there).

SCALPOD! You shot some stuff on ANOTHER camera -- Oroborous's, right?
Who has those tapes? Or that tape?

Tomorrow I hope to start copying these tapes to DVDs the quick, down-
and-dirty way -- unedited -- and once I've done those, I can make
copies of each DVD easily for the bands and ranters and so on, for I
have two DVD burners which can be used for duplication.

However I also have $1200 worth of swag and ordainment orders to fill
tomorrow. I'M NOT COMPLAINING! You're not hearing me complain! Not
here, anyway.

OH FUCK. I just now remembered something. I can't copy those tapes to
DVD that way. They are shot in widescreen anamorphic. My DVD recorder
can't translate that -- so it all comes out in narrow-man Squish-O-
Vision. I HAVE to copy the stuff into my computer to make it into DVDs
and have the widescreen format still work. That means... yes, yes, I'm
figuring it out even now -- either I wait until my camera is repaired
(Neighbor Satan's won't do it) OR, I go borrow the ACE camera, which
is identical to mine... yes... yes, there is a way.

THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY!!
