Reply To: London (and elsewhere, hopefully) Calling

Don’t worry, @Daised. I hadn’t met any of the sea monkeys in real life (except JoCo and Paul and Storm) before the first cruise, and I loved the sensation of stepping into the internet and seeing all those people I’d got to know virtually. Maybe it’s even better that way. Now it’s really trippy watching the collaborative videos the forum people made for JoCo’s birthdays and realising I have now met a large proportion of the participants in real life.

Anyway… I’ve uploaded videos of most of Paul and Storm’s set at the London show, and I’m starting on JoCo’s. You know what’s great about the acoustics in Union Chapel, apart from the amazing resounding arrrs and Shop Vac claps? You (and JoCo) can actually hear a single audience member whispering ‘Hey, Mr. Fancy Pants’ when JoCo gets out his iPhone (which was actually for Nobody Loves You Like Me.) I didn’t hear it well enough at the time but I can make it out on my video.

I have a few more videos that I took with my old camera just in case the hastily-purchased new one wasn’t good enough, but I haven’t watched them yet. In the end I think the new camera worked alright, despite being optimised for ruggedness rather than concert-filming goodness. But maybe the other videos have nicer angles at points. Angles at points? What is this, geometry?
