Wow, only just saw this.
I'm getting out of the military, and fly home to Dallas at the end of the month. I'll be visiting friends and apartment hunting in Houston from the 5th-8th. My 10-year HS reunion is on the 10th. I may be able to swing by Austin on the 9th. If I did, would I be able to throw down a short set?

Oh, and Sober: There's still time to put you on the promotional poster, if you can confirm. Do you want to be credited as The Sober Irishman, or are you going by a different stage name now?

Re: Song Fight Live: Weird & Wired August 9-10 in AUSTIN, TE
I am super excited about who is coming here in August and also super excited about the set we have put together to play for our song fight friends! I'm feeling really good about how our songs are sounding and I think everybody is going to be entertained. Hopefully that 20 minute set allotment time isn't set in stone...
If I haven't said so already, we have a free of charge practice room at my house that can be used until 9pm whenever need be. It's on the same side of town as the venue and the drums that are being used will be set up there. I keep meaning to get a run down of what amps we have and will try to soon but I assure you we have one or two for guitar, two for bass, and one for keyboards. Probably wouldn't hurt if other Austinites brought their amps so folks have a choice. One thing we don't have much of is mic stands.

Geoff, that's cool about the practice room. Should we set up a thread or calendar or something for folks to schedule rehearsal times?

A shared calendar would be ideal. And Geoff, if you can get me the address where your practice space is, I'll put it in the "Important places" list on this map: http://mapsengine.google.com/map/viewer ...

How are we doing when it comes to recording? Do we have audio and video in place?

Re: Song Fight Live: Weird & Wired August 9-10 in AUSTIN, TE
Just "Sober" will do fine. I am ~95% confirmed for the 9th, a definite no for the 10th. Are we collecting money to make this happen?

I can play solo, and will fill up as much time as y'all can give me. I'll be taking photos as well, I imagine.

Re: Song Fight Live: Weird & Wired August 9-10 in AUSTIN, TE
I'm working with our sound board guy to make sure we've got some method of recording audio from the board. It might be as simple as running one out from his board to the DAW on my laptop.Niveous wrote:How are we doing when it comes to recording? Do we have audio and video in place?
Currently, it's a "No" on the video, but I'm trying to find someone local with a decent video camera to loan us. At the last few live events I've been to, the video was handled by Glenn and/or Glen, and neither of them are coming this time around. Any suggestions for making this easier would be greatly appreciated.
I haven't asked anyone for money in advance. I was planning on passing a hat at the show, on a strictly voluntary basis. If you feel like contributing in some other way, please PM me.Sober wrote: Just "Sober" will do fine. I am ~95% confirmed for the 9th, a definite no for the 10th.

I've just done some rough back-of-the-napkin math on the amount of time people have, since we have fewer performers than usual and more time than usual, but you're going to have 20-30 minutes to use as you like. I initially said 20 minutes, but it seems like half the people playing have asked for additional time, and we're still running pretty far under, so there's wiggle room. I've allotted 30 minutes to each performer, but that also includes setup and breakdown time. And we still have 30-60 minutes of spare time each night, even if everyone uses up every second of their allotted time, which I don't think will happen.

You should play your version of "Texas". One of my all time favorite SF tunes. Glad to hear you made it out alive.Sober wrote:Just "Sober" will do fine.

Funny thing is that I'll still technically be 'in' until Aug 30th.
I'll play a mix of SF classics, non-SF originals and covers, and maybe a SF cover or two.

I still don't have a video camera, but I've confirmed that I'll be able to stream video and capture audio from the sound guy's board all quite easily. Worst case scenario, I'll set up my laptop with a webcam on the stage. Still looking into options for getting a video camera.Niveous wrote:How are we doing when it comes to recording?

Also, this means that I'll have mp3s for everyone's live fight entries.

Mine is a Logitech C310. It shoots in 720p. If yours is better than that, feel free to bring it, and we'll get it set up before the show.

I can bring my 720/1080p camcorder and tripod. I don't know how I would stream it, but if I can get input from the sound board it should be nice... I think I need a bigger memory card, though.
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

Hey ya'll, regarding my practice space, which conveniently is in my backyard, I was planning on being here and hosting guests all day Friday and Saturday. Do you think we need a schedule? If you get caught waiting we have plenty of distractions over here until your turn comes up. I'm also open to folks putting a schedule together if it's necessary.

If you would be so kind, please bring it. I'll stream the show using my webcam, and we can use the higher-quality image from the camera to cut together some better video. Heck, we could even put the two devices at different angles and use some video editing to make a reasonably polished performance movie!Manhattan Glutton wrote:I can bring my 720/1080p camcorder and tripod.
