Tonights Show

[peter]

I enjoyed the show very much but was wondering....Does Dan get up every morning and go around his 5th wheel pushing his finger into any crevices? Does he do the Hokie Pokie and turn himself around? That's what it's all about!

Hi: All...In honour of Dans appearance on the live show we should all "Chip" in and get him a little "Plaque" Alf

Yeah, does he stay up at night thinking of ways to pick on poor ol' me?

Just to show him, I did have hair in my mid twenties.

anyone have trouble streaming? On my end it would play, then pause, play then pause. I noticed a bunch of people logged in when it started then almost everyone left. I was wondering if they experienced the same stream lag I did?

[Jim Bennett]

It ran smoothly for me.

Hmm.. I hope not.. I checked the metrics on show and looks like there were 14 viewers.. From my end we pretty much had a great connection on the stream (going out) at 29FPS which is as good as it gets.. Once I stream it out to UStream (the provider) it's out of my control and basically up to your internet connection.. My wife was on the forum (using her Mac getting the stream from Ustream) as she was monitoring the Chat room and writing down the questions, and things seemed to be good..

Anyway I think it went how I expected it to..w/o too much stress and I hope I have it down to a repeatable process.. Now I just got to get better at the production side..going from shot to shot.. and of course I need to dye my hair and get a face-lift ... oh and loose 15lbs as the camera can be cruel..

If no one else speaks up then it was just my end. No biggie, but I was curious.

On a side note, That photo of Jim above looks exactly like movie Actor Bill Paxton. Check out the comparison here

For me everything went very smoothly. Picture and sound were perfect. Thanks again, Jeff, for putting this together!!

I guess one would have to consider this Bill guy pretty darn good looking.

Peter,
I don't know if you saw the announcement in the papers at the end of the year, but the guy who wrote that song, "Hokie Pokie", died!
Reportedly, they had some problems at the funeral home... regarding his casket...
They'd put his right foot in, he'd put his right foot out ........

Whoa!!! That is one good looking guy! Are you sure that's you?? Or a computer inhanced wantabe??
I kept looking at that old guy being interviewed last night, and kept thinking, "Who is that old guy?? He sounds just like me??"
Good grief, James was right when he asked the question "What is your life?" Then answered, "It's but a vapor, here for a moment, and then it vanishes"

I told Jeff last night that I hoped the other two people stayed!
They all left because they didn't like me, no one has ever liked me, I've never had any friends, no body listens to me, nobody cares .................. (sounds of weeping)
Oh well, my wife still loves me : - )
Actually, the rest were all over at Glen's, and when he hollered "Get your beer, the steaks are on", well....you've documented the rest!

'tis the real non-enhanced me.

I know what you mean. I look around and see all these 'older' folks, then realize that I am that age. I just can't really accept that. If I have to maintain my youthfulness through my immaturity, and it works for me, then that is what I have to do.

[Hokie Escape]

We'd be good friends in real life Jim : - ) Yep, you can look at that face and see, heh , that's Jim in there OK! Oh well, the best steaks are aged!

[gharms]

Jim, I have to admit that you were easy on the eyes during your mid-twenties!

You can bet on it, Dan.

To bad that growing old is mandatory, I am sure glad growing up isn't though.
