I googled "It's gonna be the future soon." And I ended up at Jyte. I don't know what the site does. But I agreed with the claim. Because it's true. We all know it, even if we're not ready to admit it. But then I added the claim, "It's going to take some time this time." Because it's equally true and maybe even a bit less ironic and funny and a titch sadder. What does that have to do with Traveling Wilburys, vacations end or concert DVDs? I'm not sure. Let me take some time to think about that. I'll get back to you in the future. Good Luck. I googled “It’s gonna be the future soon.” And I ended up at Jyte. I don’t know what the site does.

Since they all were great, don't tell them I said this. Coulton was the highlight of an evening of all excellent acts at Coverville 500. Since they all were great, don’t tell them I said this.

My plans for the beach died spectacularly when my friend's relatives, whose beach house we were supposed to stay at, got embroiled in marital issues the day before the trip. Apparently the wife discovered her husband had put spyware on her computer, was reading all her email and tracking her via a hidden GPS device in her car. Figures.

Can I take this opportunity to ask you a question about the DVD? I recently watched <a HREF="http://www.revolution-os.com/" rel="nofollow">Revolution OS</A> about free software, GNU, Linux, all that fun geeky stuff and I noticed the DVD case said it was "Region Free (Region 0)" and "CSS-Encryption Free", both of which make sense, considering it's a movie about free (libre) software and such. My question is that with your background and advocacy for similar things - namely Creative Commons - will your upcoming DVD have those same freedoms? @Kirby: You are are aware that furry old lobster roll is essentially sea-otter burgers?

Except that I'm a zombie now, I'm doing fine. We love you (and won't eat your eyes) but it's good to hear you're pushing forward on the DVD. Here's a promise of an excellent rum drink next time you're in SF from the one by the pillar stage right on crutches. I'm all bipedal again and thank you for the magical healing powers I surely absorbed that fine San Francisco evening.

Good luck on that concert DVD. I know it takes a loooong time to put together footage for just one song, let alone dozens, so I definitely feel your pain. I'm still working on the compilation of footage I shot for You Ruined Everything (I took a pretty long vacation from it), but I assure you that it shall be finished! ....Someday. After that, it's You Oughta Know and then Mandelbrot Set. Welcome back!

I can now tell my fiancée that ordering rum (and other miscellaneous alcoholic beverages) at noon does not make me an alcoholic while at the beach. It felt so odd to start drinking that early -- on the first day. But you're right, ordering a noon rum-runner back home just isn't the same. You don’t know how happy this post makes me.
