“I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out.”

	I need some sleep, I can't go on like this.
	I need some sleep, I can't go on like this.


I tried counting sheep, but there's one I always miss. Alas, no podcast this week. I'm just too frazzled, stressed and tired to push out another 25 minutes of mindless ranting. That, and I ran out of ideas. Well, kinda. I didn't really get any time last week to come up with good ideas, so.. yeah. However, there are still things that I feel like talking about, so.. back to the good ol' days of my mindless ranting via words and letters. Rejoice, as you don't have to hear my voice. wink Plans are finally coming together for AX 06'. You've heard about the Casemod project, of course, and that's slowly coming together. Progress has been a bit halted as I wait for some graphics work and a printer so I can make the decals. Other than that, the LCD is almost complete, and I'll be getting it installed soon. As for other convention notes.. So far we have several mods going, but the prospect of a Gaia booth is looking slim. sad However, a Gaia panel looks good to go. On the podcasting front, I'm cooking up plans for a journalistic expedition in the all-feared mod interviews! Dun-dun-dunnnnnn! I'm planning on pulling two special editions of the show from cali, with two moderator interviews. However, for a really classy interview, we're going to need really classy questions. So, while I'm coming up with a lot, I'm going to need some input from you guys. What do you want to ask my prospective interviewees? You get access to mod brains of the darkest sort, unfiltered and uncensored, so post your questions! I'll cull the best from the list, and fire them off, and you will get answers! Sound good? Damn skippy. We'll be booking the hotel and flights soon enough. Travelling in mad style this time, and staying swanky if we can. So, if all goes according to plan, maybe we'll have a phat mod pad up, with an open bar if anyone wants to stop be and see how mods kick it in hideous style... wink Why does this make me think of Fear and Loathing?

	I know not of this Fear and Loathing you speak of, so I canst not cast judgement towards the lst of your questions. However, as for the rest... I'd think it'd be best if you'd post the potential list of moderators going, that way people who possibly know them can have a list of questions, or know what kind of questions to ask in general. That, and I'm curious of who I'll face this time I wait in line. You guys better not do that again! That scared the crap out of me. gonk Another thing: How come it's not looking like there'll be a booth this year? I'd have thought they made a great ton of money at last year's convention, not to mention it made a lot of the stuff more available to users. Was it because of the admins' antics last year, getting on the ledge and throwing paper airplanes and such? I'll need to stop by your room one of the days, at least just to get a look at the computer before it's given away. Offline Druki · Community Member · Tue Feb 28, 2006 @ 06:26am


	I watched Fear and Loathing for like the 20th time last weekend. The entire carnival bits remind me of any group of 3 or more mods XD You'll have to make sure to get drunk and raise hell for those of us mods who won't be able to be there.

	Well, current forecast calls for a hotel room with Fubenkunai and Moonblossom, so they'd be the easiest to interview. smile I think the booth not happening is mostly just due to a lack of time to put one together, and get merchandise out there. I don't really know, actually.. but that's my best guess. I do know that a panel will take place, though. Although the security guards probably now fear the Gaia team.. As does the Anaheim PD, due to our, ahem, explosive tendancies.. They are not responsible for this sad lack of booth. XD Fear and Loathing in las vegas is a book by Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. (R.I.P) It was made into a movie with Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro. Wonderful. Rent it sometime for a taste of Thompsons most excellent style and dubious deeds. Despite what it tends to be listed under, the book is non-fiction, and the movie is very close to the book. In fact, Dr. Thompson appears in the movie, a very brief flicker. As for other mods going, I'll see if I can compile a list for you guys. Ambu> Of course. You expect any less from me? Offline Twistex · Community Member · Tue Feb 28, 2006 @ 02:45pm


	Fube and Moony?! Hot damn. Ask them what their bra sizes are. That's always a classy one. Offline Moonblossom · Community Member · Tue Feb 28, 2006 @ 04:52pm


	Ooh, the scandalous answer to that question freed from IRC and released upon the whole unsuspecting Gaia public? I bet we could make people's heads a'splode. Maybe just a few, but I'd still call that a feat worth drinking to. whee Offline fubenkunai · Community Member · Tue Feb 28, 2006 @ 11:06pm


	So long as the reason of 'sploding isn't disturbing, like unto what the Moonbeamy suggests. >.>;; Anyways, if that was the only reason why you thought the admin would still do it. They could just use the booth decor from last year, and it shouldn't be that hard to order merchandise to prepare. I would've thought the paper planes and fire hazard would've been it for sure, though. I mean, if the AX staff Man-Faye for being....Man-Faye, then what's stopping them from preventing the admin from selling stuff do to paper planes and fire hazards? My brother is driving this time, so chances are we'll be able to stay as late as we want. I might be able to provide fireworks, be that the case. Time for Piccolo Pete bottle rockets... As for the movie, I'll check it out sometime. Offline Druki · Community Member · Tue Feb 28, 2006 @ 11:54pm


	T___________________T I wanna go AX this year so bad. Last year was a hell of a lot of fun and mischief. Mm...fireworks and paper planes. I loved the time I spent flying, in the airport, and at the convention itself. Overall, I think the whole thing was very memorable. Especially Cali weather gonk But I digress. I hope everyone that is going this year had enough fun for me. I'll be there in spirit domokun Offline Yuzi_K · Community Member · Wed Mar 01, 2006 @ 05:29am


	You and your slot-dice will be missed. crying Be there next year. Offline Druki · Community Member · Wed Mar 01, 2006 @ 06:08am


	Darknrgy: Let us access our guild funds!!! D: Lanzer: When the hell will the KARMA system come?! General: BRING BACK THE WHEEL OF ITEMS! D: That and somebody, like, videotape the entire panel so I can see it. For once. Because I'm probably never going to go to AX. Ever. Offline [Q] · Community Member · Wed Mar 01, 2006 @ 03:37pm


	I was actually thinking about that. It'd be much easier to do that and host it somehow rather than create posts of what happened, especially since the GCD will be demanding to know of what was spoken. And I'm pretty much the known guy of the GCD for his pictures of AX, especially from last year. Offline Druki · Community Member · Thu Mar 02, 2006 @ 01:25am


	If you do do that, edit out all the awkward silences and some prize throwing(if there is any) then encode to 726kb/s wmv and host on zippyvideos.com =D Or videoblogs.com Any place that will allow you to have video files on embedded players without converting them, while not putting a download limit on them, essentially. (has a thing against putfile, though) Yayness XD Offline [Q] · Community Member · Thu Mar 02, 2006 @ 03:18pm


	I'll have to keep that in mind. I'm sure Twist will too. Two videos are better than one. Pictures will be taken, for the sake of close-ups on the screens. Offline Druki · Community Member · Thu Mar 02, 2006 @ 06:10pm
