FROM 24 TO 48

This current season of 24 has me literally screaming "NO!!" at the TV when the episode comes to an end each week. I cant believe they are stopping it right there ..... at least let me see what happens to ....... it really is Crack TV. What about Audrey? How will Secretary Heller make things ok? Is Logan gonna manage to cover it up? Can Chloe hack into CTU (again?)..... the answer to all of these questions is, of course, Jack Bauer. Jack will come swinging/screeching/flying in, guns blazing, and sort it all out. He might get shot/stabbed/burnt in the process - he might have to sacrifice his first born to the terrorists to get results - he might even have to follow another 14 dead end leads before he finally gets his man. But he will get his man. I dont have time to explain right now - you have to trust me, I'm just doing my job!! I LOVE this show!!!

The Spike TV Autorox show ran last night, and I was pleasantly surprised at how it looked and sounded. Normally, TV sound is fairly lame, with the guitars too quiet and everything sounding sterile, but Camp Freddy's version of Surrender sounded storming!! And the editing was quick and exciting too - in TV terms, I think it was a success. Being introduced by Pamela Anderson was interesting ..... I'm not sure she knew what she was reading from the autocue - but she was jumping up and down as we came on, so it seems she liked us!! It was our first appearance with Scott as a member, and to me, it was a strong one. I couldnt really comment on the rest of the show, cos when I realized they were giving awards to CARS!! I just switched over. ...."and the award for best dashboard goes to ...... the Chevy Tahoe .....!!????" Oh GOD!!!! The video is over at Dave's site - but if ANYONE had the technology to get it onto DVD I REALLY need a copy. Email or post if you recorded it on DVD. Oh yeah - and one more thing. I am looking for an MP3 of Suzi Quattro singing the song "48 Crash" - released sometime in the 70's. I've been singing it in my head for weeks, and need to play it on CFR. So if you have that one knocking around as well, you know what to do...!!

I have a meeting about the missing Camp Freddy site tomorrow, so hopefully we can get V2.0 up and running really soon. And the Circus Diablo community is starting to thrive - that makes me VERY happy. We are currently working on an acoustic (ish) version of one of the songs from the album, called Loaded, which will be exclusively available to registered members of the Community only. It will also not be released anywhere else. I want the people who are building this family to get something that is theirs. The version of Loaded that appears on the album is rocking - big guitars, big drums, lots of energy. So I will be interested to put this slow, acoustic, percussion version of the song up first, let you guys listen to it, and then have you hear the album version later on. Its normally the other way around - album comes out, and THEN they do acoustic versions of the song. And while we are talking about Circus Diablo, we met yesterday and started working out our plan - seems like we will be putting the live rhythm section together soon - very exciting. And hopefully I will have some news about a couple of songs shortly. Keep yer browsers pointed here.

I have no idea why the last V-Blog was causing so much trouble. Some people got it fine, and other people were having problems. I am hoping its not because of the size of the file. I mean they have started to get long recently - only because I enjoy doing them and I wanna make them as good and as informative as I can. But maybe I have to go back to making them short clips, as opposed to 6 minute mini documentaries!! I'll see if I can find out why tomorrow. Hope it didnt drive you all too mad.

I have to get out of here and go down to the Eco Dive Shop - off to Maui soon, for some Scuba, and I only have one more dive to do before I am qualified as Advanced Open Water Diver. So I figured I would go dive Catalina and get the certification before I go to Hawaii. That way, I can do the Back Wall at Molokini (known as a pretty serious drift dive) and also a serious Wreck dive. I'm also pondering over doing a night dive or two ...... the dives where your imagination REALLY gets a work out!!! So have a great day everyone, and I'll be back soon. I'm just gonna dive over to The Community now and see whats cookin over there ......

Peace

Billy
