Road Trippin'

That's really cool. I'm glad you had such a great time. So, whose panels did you watch? Tom Felton wasn't there, right?

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 05 Oct 09 :: 18:51

Yeah, he had to cancel last minute. That kinda sucked, but well, it wasn't his fault. I hope he'll be there next year then.
I watched all the Twilight panels and even asked two questions at the last one. I also attended one LOTR panel with Bob Hopkins and some other guy whose name I can't remember right now,that was kinda funny.
And I "experienced" the last few minutes with the dubbing voices of Edward, Bella and Jacob and I got confirmation that it was a good decision to stick with the English version of Twilight. I mean, I understand that that's their job and they make their living with that, but the voices just don't fit to the characters, especially Bella's voice. They did a live dubbing, but they did it as a parody, that was kinda funny, though.
More later, I'm busy with scanning.

Is there even gonna be a Ringcon next year? I heard the tickets didn't sell well this year and there were rumors going around that this was gonna be a last Ringcon.

Really? There was no sign of that at the weekend. They even announced the dates for 2010 already. And yeah, I'll try to go again.

TeeJay · 05 Oct 09 :: 20:55

Then I guess they sold enough tickets after all. Or they just wanted to put up a good show and not disappoint the fans. Guess we'll see next summer or autumn if it's happening or not. The Twilight mania will definitely still be in full flight then.

I'm glad you had an amazing weekend, Anne! I can't wait to see the pictures you took!

domesticelefant · 06 Oct 09 :: 20:37

Please give me some more time, I have hardly been able to breath since I'm back from the weekend. I'll try to upload and post everything tomorrow.

TeeJay · 14 Nov 09 :: 11:48

Hey guys, I wanna apologize for going AWOL on you. I've pretty much worked non-stop every day from 9 in the morning to around midnight ever since last Thursday. I haven't switched on my computer at home for over a week and I haven't been doing much of anything other than sleeping, eating and working. Most likely next week will be similar, but at least I get two days off from the madness this weekend. Bear with me if I don't participate much on the board these days, I'm gonna be back at some point.

Welcome back, T. It's great to see you! I was just thinking Friday at work as I had to clean out my email how much I missed you.

I also want to apologize for not getting the Amber interview transcribed yet. Y'all know things have been intense for me lately. But the good news is that I've got a couple of weeks off, since my last job ended, before my new one starts. And though I have tons of chores and errands to do in between, I hope to have some time finally, and the energy to tackle it. It's really good and I want you all to hear it...

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 16 Nov 09 :: 02:24

It's great your back, TJ. I hope everything is going well for you at work. Hopefully you will have more free time now.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 22 Nov 09 :: 23:10

File this under NOT Road Trippin'. It looks like I won't be going to Kentucky to be with my best friend for Thanksgiving after all. She's come down with something. Hope it's not swine flu!

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 23 Nov 09 :: 05:29

I'm sorry, Deb. I still hope you have a good Thanksgiving and I hope that your friend is not going to be sick for much longer. :hug:

Have been gone for almost a week. We went to Vegas for the holiday weekend. It was my son's 18th birthday on Thanksgiving (I can't believe he is an adult), and he has been saying for years he wanted to spend his 18th in vegas. We don't gamble, so we saw some shows, Penn and Teller were awesome. The Jersey Boys was even better, Donny and Marie (not my choice) was pretty good, but was the weak one. It is amazing how much stuff they have for families to do.

TeeJay · 30 Nov 09 :: 18:42

Sounds like a fun trip! I'm sure Vegas is an interesting city in the US to visit, but I'd probably pick others first if I had a choice. New York and Chicago are at the top of my list.

-TeeJay

TheCentralScrutinizer · 30 Nov 09 :: 21:45

I've only been to Vegas once, in 1990. I didn't gamble either. And I was there for a conference so we didn't see any shows. But it was the Video Software Dealers Association Convention, so there were lots of movie stars there for us to meet.

domesticelefant · 30 Nov 09 :: 22:25

Why is everyone going to Vegas lately? Did I miss something? I want to go too!!!

TeeJay · 30 Nov 09 :: 22:58

Who's everyone? Did anyone other than Rick go there?

-TeeJay

Warbee · 01 Dec 09 :: 10:51

Isnt the legal age in the US 21??? Thats what I always thought anyway....and I've been to Vegas...I was 6 at the time though. Circus Circus was my highlight back then.

Editsound · 01 Dec 09 :: 16:55

Yes, it is 21, that is why I never understood why he wanted Vegas for his 18th. But he did.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 02 Dec 09 :: 04:49

That's great, Rick! It sounds like you had an awesome time!

No, noone from the board here, but David went there recently too. I asked him to send me a postcard but he refused.

domesticelefant · 10 Dec 09 :: 14:57

Well, it's technically not a "road trip", but I'm going home in a few minutes and won't have internet until Saturday when I return to my parents's place. Just wanted to inform you that I'll be gone for the next two days. And yes, this time it's real.

Warbee · 26 Jan 10 :: 06:44

Ok so just got back, 10 mates and I hired a bus and drove up to Sydney from Melbourne to go see the Big Day Out music festival. It was unbelievable and amazing and WHOA one of the best experiences of my life. So many amazing bands. I did end up missing some because of the logistics (2 bands playing 2 different stages at the same time) but I am so so happy to have experienced what I did. Spent most of the day at the double main stage. 40 degree heat, had security spray hoses into the crowd in attempt to cool people off. I was so so close to so many bands that I absolutely love.

In order of seeing them: Blue Juice, Karnivool, KissChasy, Kasabian, Eskimo Joe, Hilltop Hoods, Dizzee Rascal, Lily Allen, The Mars Volta, Powderfinger, Muse, Fear Factory.

That's awesome, Kate!
I love the bands Fear Factory and Muse!

domesticelefant · 26 Jan 10 :: 18:44

I swear, next time Muse comes to Germany, I. WILL. BE. THERE.
