We're recording this Photoshop meet and there's the possibility of a webstream... which I should probably talk to Birddog about after I test if it's possible tonight... but bugger... that means we have to get there at a relatively decent time...

4:00am and I'm ready!
Remember 8:45 is the start for the session, you'll need at least an hour to set up, test.
So 4:00am will be enough time for us to run-ins

I am not getting there at 4am.
More importantly, Dad is not getting there at 4am
Even more importantly, I'm sleeping until at least 6am.
I'll probably be editing the footage onsite for use on a DVD if anyone who's there wants a nice demo / tutorial on editing footage using Sony Vegas... if you'd like to see it in Adobe Premiere, I can do that, I just probably won't be editing in it fully as it's too slow for me.

Birddog,
Since Pippin will be turning up, I'll pass by to drop off the Manfrotto for him to look at if he's still interested.
Unfortunately I cannot stay long as I have to take the missus to the dentist but will be back after lunch.

Well birddog I planned to have an early night & get to bed at about 10:00.
It's now almost 11:30 and I'm about to head off
My alarm is set for 5:30 am & I plan to leave about 6:10 am so I'll be there as close to 8:00 as possible. See you then (and you bet I'll have fun )

I'll be the guy with headphones on and sunglasses on with a lappy in front of him, pretending to monitor sound levels and video feed while I'm actually sleeping.
I'm gathering the gear and setting up at least one of the lappies for the recording of tomorrow's session... Dad's sleeping.
At this point, I highly doubt the session will be streamed live via video feed, but I am investigating the possibility of it being fed through an audio feed if anyone is interested.
