I'm going to be in and out of the office during the holidays, although
Princess Wei will be around.

I've been on a deadline -- the deadline of EVERYTHING, NOW! Which
deadline I mostly met.

However, my email has stacked up PRETTY badly, and people are starting
to send that second and third email that asks if I got the previous
emails.

I am going to try to answer some of them before I take off, but I might
sleep instead. Actually right this SECOND I have to run off and do the
ESO show before I can sleep.

But I DID DO THIS:

I rough-cut a whole lot of my 7 hours of 5X-Day video into my computer,
and am sending DV copies of that 2 hour rough cut to both AntiPope
Lupus Yonderboy and to Sinphaltimus Exmortus, both of whom have
expressed interest in merging my footage with theirs. Sinphaltimus
already sent me his. And you wouldn't BELIEVE what the EuroSubs did
with their 5X-Day home movies. Editing for the rest of us to LIVE UP
TO. The rough assemblage I'm sending out is missing stuff from the
middle two reels (Saturday afternoon), but what's there should be loads
of fun for someone to work with. It has been for me so far.

I also got a major chunk of work done on a SubGenius timeline, the
beginning of a SubGenius History Book-Movie-Thing. I had wanted to post
its rough form before leaving town, but it's too rough. Would cause
nothing but trouble. I have to clear up a couple of murky things with
Philo, and, through him, hopefully even with "Bob."

It IS fairly breathtaking to skim that list of things seen, said and
done. It ought to make quite an interesting multimedia presentation
eventually.

Anyway, I have been busting ass off line, and now am going to slack off
offline, so if I didn't answer your email and you feel insulted, well,
at least you can't feel insulted ALONE. I had to whip through this wall
of video pretty intensively while I had access to the equipment.

I have not slept much lately.

Oh lordy, radio show time, must go, then, when return, must sleep tiny
and go again.

Forgive me for not answering your cruel and kind emails yet, or even
the actual packages of videotapes and CD-Rs, which, if you sent one, I
thought it was great. Seriously, ALL the ones that came this month WERE
great, it's just that I'm working on OUR great one while I can.
Borrowed camera gear, you see.

Happy Holidays and all to all, and all.

P.S. I got some of my Cafe Press SubGenius Shop swag, and it all looks
great. The Map of America After X-Day looks REAL good a yard across.
