I've updated the Billy panel to include three short clips about the water bottle, and I've updated the Andy panel to include the 20-minute talk that he did before questions (the video is in two parts). These are MP4 files, so much smaller than the Quicktime movies ( Read more... )

ORC is over.

I sat up all night uploading and talking with _skulking_. sassywitch left at about 5 am and then we were very tired (well, I'd only had 7 hours sleep in the last three days) so a short nap was in order. Now I'm packing and this will be the final update before I get home on Wednesday ( Read more... )

I honestly intended to get up and go to the Ringers screening this morning. In fact, I did get up, but started mucking around on the laptop instead, and as my roommates were still sleeping, the timetable sort of slipped a bit. In our defence we had sat up until 3 am (new time) uploading and transferring so that everything was backed up. I've ( Read more... )

The Beecake CD went on sale at the start of the autograph session, so that people could buy the CD and get it signed by everyone - BJ, Rick and John were signing for free, but due to contractual arrangements with Creation, Billy wasn't allowed to sign anything without an autograph voucher. Luckily I had had the forethought to get an extra voucher ( Read more... )

Right-click and save, folks, and credit where it's due ( Read more... )

The charity breakfast was great. It took quite a while for Billy and the band to arrive, as they were unloading the band's gear ready for tonight, All the band came into the room and stayed for the full auction. I was really pleased to see that the band members got just as much attention as Billy did - there were always several people talking to ( Read more... )

A couple of pics of Billy and the band from this morning - full report and photobucket files will be uploaded later today.

So we got back to the hotel and squeed for a while, then we went online and did our posts, then we read everyone else's posts and squeed some more, and then rosamundeb started posting videos, so I'm downloading those at the moment and then I'll do a bit more squeeing, and then I really have to go to bed because it's ten past three in the morning and we're ( Read more... )

OMG! The Beecake concert was fantastic - I went to the Hotel Cafe with sassywitch and we were a little worried when we got to the venue and found the line snaking halfway around the building. We wondered if we ought to have gone earlier, but actually we were very lucky, because as we were waiting, Billy and Ali drove up past us in a silver 4WD, and then we ( Read more... )
