Reply To: Where’d everybody go?
The following things happened:
- JoCo toured as opening act with They Might Be Giants. While we all like TMBG, only a handful of forum people actually went there – even fewer provided detailed reports.
- Fans who had ordered Artifical Heart’s Level 4 started receiving their packages and went mental. Nobody knows what tune it is on the mini-clavinett-thingy. Meanwhile, us mere morals stood in silence watching those nemeses and download errors etc.
- JoCo Cruise Crazy II happened. During that week a peaceful silence reigned. Then the forum exploded with 1001 pictures, stories, and most of all references you don’t get if you weren’t there. A quick summary for you that should make you glad you weren’t there (and make every sea monkey cry out because I’m intentionally pointing out the negative stuff): Paul and Storm should have played longer/more often, JoCo’s gig was (too) loud and not long enough, the boat was semi-ok (some main corridors apparently stank due to leaks in the smoking lounge), everything was terribly expensive, some people couldn’t live without the internet and thus built their own internet on board, and there wasn’t nearly enough space in the gaming room.
- Then discussions shifted from JCCC II to JCCC III.
- A radio show featuring JoCo began airing, but nobody around here paid attention because his role there is even smaller than it was during the TMBG tour.
