Catching up on things

[neadods]

I've been offline for two and a half days (so I'm pretty terrified of the flist volume at the moment). However, many things to discuss.

Doctor Who:
Obtained. Seen. Amused. Thought the ending was meh, but I enjoyed the cheese thoroughly for the first 35 minutes, so it's in the "like" column. Mostly.

Knitting and Fandom:
The BBC is discussing

I'd love to know whether the BBC would have let it slide if the patterns were just being disseminated over LJ, for example, with no sale of actual goods.

I'd say that the existence of the two Who crafting communities and the long run of Extermaknit untouched on the Internet are pretty good examples what while they can turn a blind eye, they will.

But when something similar to something they plan on selling was already being sold, they really do have to do something.

I got the feeling from the press coverage over here that the stuff appearing on ebay was the clincher. Once people were making money, rather than just knitting on the quiet and not making a profit, the Beeb had to step in.

Sounds like a fabulous weekend! I want to see Macbeth *sulks*.

It was great to see you, and next time you need to do an overnight trip, so we can cause even more trouble do even more stuff...

I didn't ask because it totally escaped my mind. *loses at life* But I think someone posted a link on Ravelry, so I'll see if that's still up.

Or else we'll just have to meet up again. :)

I knew what the Superhero exhibit was in advance (what you described) and I just assumed the rest of you knew that too, or I would have said something. Though I don't remember where I read about it. I've got several comics news related feeds in RSS, even though I don't read that many comics any more.

I skimmed my friendslist this morning since last night I was too tired to do much except watch DW. But I've been busy with work related stuff all day, so I haven't done much more than that.

Okay, random, but reading your post reminded me that I had a dream the other night that I was having a discussion with Patrick Stewart about Macbeth and had to admit I hadn't seen his production. Heh.

Though I did get to see the Liev Schrieber one in the park two years ago, and actually saw it on a windy, not-quite-raining-but-almost night, where the gusts would kick up every time something creepy was happening on stage. I started looking around for wind machines, it was so perfectly timed.
