Subject: Main Audio Recordings from XI-X-Day are Double-Plus Good; Whew
From: "Rev. Ivan Stang" <stang@subgenius.com> Date: Thu, Jul 10, 2008 1:13 AM
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!!

Wee-Sunday Jam: The Unmasked Drummer was Foof of Fat Free.. with Angry Larry on Bass and me on guitar. Then me on bass and Larry on Guitar and I think the guy from Mike Bison.. then another bass player jumped in and relieved me.
He didnt have to.. I knew where the loo was.
