Hooray, I succeeded in finishing my (very) rough storyboard for _Sleep Evil Sleep_.

What do now?

Hands up if you also frothed and said “holy shit” during the closing minute of _Dream Machine_!

I went and frothed at my beloved and may have done a stim dance of joy. Beloved said only, “’Kay.”

Also I am certain I heard TWO giraffe roars on this album. Which is certainly the albumest album to ever album.

I’m headed on over to trawl the conspiracy theories now.

Quintessential addendum

My email’s working again. All hail the grand fixer-upperer.

If I wasn’t in the first wave, I was pretty darn close to it, judging by the time stamp.

And now I’m being a complete idiot by downloading the 139M zip file. It’s at 7.8/138M… and holding… Woop. No. That one died. Have to try again.

Second one’s looking good tho. Fingers crossed.

Shout out to the glorious peeps who have their copies and are keeping Tumblr spoiler-free.

I would be among you, but my email server picked today to go bugger off to Majorca or something and I have NO EMAIL

I wish my email was working. I wish I could share in the sweet tunes of Steam Powered Giraffe. I wish I could annoy the crap outta my family by playing it nonstop until my speakers die.

But no. That life is not for me, today.

…stoopid email bug…

Very important video. Must watch.

Challenge #01161-C066: Unemployable

@recklessprudence - Don’t worry. Walter Robotics will hire anything. Er. ONE! AnyONE!

Steam Powered Giraffe at WWWC5 - one nerd’s-eye-view. Well. Sort of. My view was partially obscured by hats, so I held my phone up to capture the stage a bit better.

My entire series of between-the-songs videos has Teh Wobble. And some are out of focus. But I couldn’t walk away with just my memories because I need to share cool things with everyone I know.

There’s 15 videos of the concert and they’re going up at a glacial pace because Australian internet has needed an upgrade since before it was installed.

[Hands up if you think that photo in the intro looks more like Thad than it does Pete1]

I got the run ragged, travel-weary blues…

At least I will by next Thursday.

I’m actually traveling on SIX. Firkin. Planes. Total.

Brisbane to LA… LA to Tucson on the way there. Fine. I can deal.

But the way home. Ye gods and little fishes…

Tucson to Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City to LA. LA to Sydney. Sydney to Brisbane.

I’m going to be rat-faced tired by the time I make it home. I’ve already raised a sweat pre-packing all my luggage.

Y’all understand why I don’t want to drive anywhere NOW?

Fanmily carpool?

Still looking for a kind soul to loan me a seat in their (renta)car for WWWC5.

Of course I’m willing to chip in for fuel (fair’s fair) and I’d prefer fanmily because I’m at least guaranteed a ride back after the SPG concert. The other concert (and the rest of the con) may be more of a crapshoot and I am OK with that.

Though I am prepared to lurk in the lobby and beg for rides on the day - I’d prefer to have it all arranged in advance. That way I can save all my anxiety for other daymares that I know won’t come true.

I really, really (times infinity) don’t want to rent a car to get to and fro. I’d be fine getting there, but the festivities close WAY after my bedtime and nobody wants a tired Aussie on the roads in the long hours of the evening. Especially this Aussie.

I promise I won’t whinge about the lack of seatbelts (much) and I’ll make an effort not to be a pest about it. And I’ll make sure my light-up heart is turned off while the car is in motion.

I’ll see what I can do about hooking you up with either Minties or Jaffas if you so desire. I might even be able to bring along some Polly Waffles. Availability depending.

Definitely need fanmily help!

Just got an email back from the nice people in charge of WWWC 5…

There is no shuttle service to and from the park. Drat.

That means that I must share a ride (or subsist solely on vegemite soup in my hotel room) with some other people who are also going.

So… Anyone going to WWWC 5 who has room for one more fanbot in their car?
