Have I told you about Blue? I probably should have mentioned Blue sooner. Blue is the guitarist that plays over at HELLO, THE FUTURE! She sits on her dining room table and plays songs about webcomics and Mathnet and feelings into her webcam for all her fans to enjoy from the comfort of their homes. Last month she did a Webcomics Webconcert via Ustream and played live OVER THE INTERNET, and it was made of amazing!

Why am I talking about this obviously awesome Internet musicianista? Because I’ll be hosting her next Webcomics Webconcert at my apartment!

She’ll be flying to California in September to attend w00tstock, and while she’s in town she’ll be doing another live performance from my apartment!

“How,” you ask, “how can I ever hope to attend this epic event when I am nowhere near Mario’s apartment?!” Well it just so happens that this Webconcert will be streamed OVER THE INTERNET JUST LIKE THE OTHER ONE from my house to all of yourses!

All you'll need to do is jump on the Webcomics Webconcert Ustream page on Saturday, September 18th at 6pm Pacific Daylight Time. I will also have an open invitation to any of my friends that live sufficiently locally to attend, and we’ll all go get dinner after the show!

While you’re waiting for the big event, go watch Blue’s past performances and get sufficiently pumped!

    And what makes you think any of us in this community would be interested in Web comics?

    Looking forward to it!

    You should get her to make a song about Zelda Comic, Witch's Brew, or Aminal Crossing. Or just the Orange Belt in general.

    Unfortunately, I think I'm driving home that weekend for my grandfather's 80th birthday, so I may not be able to tune in.

    Couldn't I just lay down a drum track and have Homestar Runner say "witch's brew" over and over and over? :)

    That'll be 9am my time on a Sunday morning. I think I can make this.

    I think that's basically how the comic started.

    I was going to suggest that you drag Blue into our little community. =) That will be right in the middle of my weekend, so I'm looking forward to it.

    DON'T YOU!

    FORGET ABOUT ME!

    DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T!

    Less than one week until Webcomics Webconcert LIVE! at Mario's Apartment!

    Fewer than seven days!

    In the interim, please listen to this exciting new song! You will recognize the tune...

    It smells like chocobos.

    Anybody up for a ride around the world?

    Too bad you guys didn't decide to do this on "Speak like a Pirate Day" (The 19th for the no one that isn't already aware). It'd be pretty amusing to see you try to sing all piratey like.
  • SerephelSerephel

    Given that the only real pirates these days are outside Somalia, I think it's best for people to be more accurate in pirate talk. So, everyone should speak Arabic and Somali on the 19th. I would encourage it.

    Any forumites that take a trip around the world for the webconcert (even only partway around the world) will get a ride from the airport and floor-crash space. And you can take that to the bank!

    Turns out his birthday is the next week. So, since I'm free after all, I will do my best to attend this. (but given my track record, I am apt to disappear for another week unexpectedly)

    Make it so. But throw in a reference to the apparent sanity of Over There or something.

    Or don't. Whatever works for you.

    That Witch's Brew track is on my GTD list, which means it WILL GET DONE!

    Just not today.

    That's how GTD works. :)

    Hmmmm...floor-crash space ya say? Mario, what's the closest Amtrak stop to you? I'm down in Camarillo and I'll swing up if it's not too expensive.
  • mariomario

    Looks like the closest Amtrak stop is in San Jose.

    Nearest international airport? (99.9% unlikely I'll come, but for shits and giggles...)
  • mariomario

    SFO probably, but SJC's more convenient if you can swing it. ALSO YOU ARE A DADDY SOON IF NOT ALREADY AND AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE. BUT I'LL SEE YOU ON THE USTREAM HOPEFULLY.

    So how does the ustream work? Do we log in or something so you can see who all is there? Or is it just a streamed video?

    Also, I assume this will be recorded for future viewing? I'll try my best to VPN, proxy, or other technobabble myself into seeing it live, but sometimes live streams don't work so well to China. We'll see though.

    Recording would be good. I will be a couple of hundred kilometres away from my computer when this is on.

    Probably drunk, also.

    COMPLETE EDIT:

    Fuck it all, I can't make it. I have to work Sunday, because we have a holiday the following Wed-Fri, which means we all work part of the surrounding weekends to make up for it.

    Damn it all.

    Ustream is streamed video with integrated live chatroom for all visitors to converse. The site will be at this address when the time comes.

    If you're planning on attending (whether in virtual space or meatspace), I'd appreciate it if you RSVP'd on the Facebook event and/or Ustream page so we can get a better idea of head count. Excitement builds!

    Alright, I'll come, I've got nothing else to do and money to burn. Looks like I can take a train/bus combination on Saturday that gets into San Jose at 4:50 pm. Does picking me up then fit neatly into you schedule Mario? I hope so, there doesn't seem to be much else.

    Oh, and any particular time you want to drop me back off?
  • mariomario
    edited September 2010
    It would need to be earlier in the day. I'll likely be setting up the technology side of the concert at the time, as well as inviting guests in. As far as return trip goes, I have work Sunday at 10am, so as long as I could leave San Jose before 9am I can drive you back then (or the night before, whichever's a better time for you).

    Amtrak is not being very flexible with their travel arrangements. The earliest I can get there on Saturday is 4:50 pm. Alternatives include coming in at 9:10 pm Friday night, 4:10 am Saturday morning, or trying to hitch hike from the train station. Is your place far?
  • mariomario
    edited September 2010
    Can't do Friday night, we'll be at w00tstock.

    Google Maps says my place is a 15 minute drive from the station (via freeways). I'd recommend public transportation if the timing's right.
