In the studio today with FM2000 doing last lot of interviews for the show
Current mood: bouncy
Category: Music
So today I had to get up at 5:30am to make sure I got down to the studio in time as it is a 2 hour trip - well really 2 and a half.
I made it just in time for the first interview - but we got an email at the last minute with a time that a VIP was able to be interviewed so we had to push all the rest back to get them covered.
I had a great time even though I was tired and still am actually (yes had a snooze this arvo but that just makes you jet lagged).
I took some goofy pics today once we finished all the hard work as both KJ and I were both pressed this week for many things to do with getting the final stuff together for the show. As soon as I get them off the digital camera I will post a couple up if you like - it was a great feeling to get these interviews done today - we missed out on one VIP but KJ will try and catch them at a later date.
Well we are running out of time now to fine tune it all and I have been sent back with a "to do list" and some things I thought were up to scratch are not recorded in the right levels for broadcasting so now they all have to be converted and so on - so that is a drag as it is mega time consuming getting this stuff converted etc - hopefully we can find the flac files and work off those - they are here somewhere.
Well the interviews that have been edited so far have past the test by KJ - so that is cool he is happy with our ends editing. I think he said he will mess around with levels and so on to get it just perfect for broadcasting but that is really fine fine tuning it. He is tinkering now with the concept of running some of the Queen instrumental music behind the interviews - I like the idea and it will help make it all have that extra magic feel to if for sure. Much of the instrumental stuff is real soul jerking stuff so it will enhance the mood and tone of the show for sure when it goes live.
I have been pretty anxious all week waiting for today's interviews to lock in. I have learnt from the petition until you get everything 100ocked in you never know what is going to fall through at the last minute. Not that I was actively seeking these interviews out - but by pure luck they happened - almost a twist of fate or lucky card feel my way this week without me even looking for it. I can't wait to tell you who the VIP is I think you will all be pretty surprised. Lovely people btw.

Anyway to the people that helped today happen - thank you for all your help and the energy you brought to the show today. You were all amazing.
I can't wait for the live show - well I can and I can't as I have still a mountain of work to do for it.
I am about to shift desks tonight as I have had to upgrade the size of my desk for all the computing work I have on the go these days from a small corner computing desk to a massive L shaped coporate computing desk.
My Roger's Meadows site is badly neglected and the reason was due to just too pooped and terrible frustration with not having the desk space I need to spawl out the gear allowing me to whiz through getting the site updated . Not sure what happened to my traffic on RM this month but I guess it will come back if it went down. For once I could not do and do and do all at the same time and I could finally allow myself to just leave it if it was just too much work for the month.
I have spent a lot of my time off line also and this has been a great break for me as it has been none stop online on my end since we decided to start a petition and then all the rest that followed just took up all our spare time - maybe wearing too many hats who knows - just am glad to be back to semi normal with my online time and my real time in life so I actually do have a life again.
