Re: Birthday Party for Aural Moon......official invitation.
I just want to say what a great day (and night) we had at the 10th Anniversary party.
I got there a little later than planned because those aliens from the Dark side of the Moon wouldn't release me because Jam only had a fiver and they wanted a tenner. I managed to escape though and made it to Jam's home studio at about 11:10am. Things were already underway and after Jam had shown me to my "station" we started in earnest. Murphy and his law reared his ugly head as the Screen on the machine I was working on died and had to be replaced. We got over that one though.
Laxmi the prog devi supplied loads of coffee and treats throughout the day and even stepped up to the mike to present her own slot. Very lovely it was too.
Getting used to the equipment wasn't too bad but those damned headphones got uncomfortable over the 19 hours we were on-air.
We broadcast some tracks and let SAM take over for a while but it was doing the Moonies' shows that I liked the most.
lotus, eloy1964, Rogor Mortis, jtmccinley, sharcnorris, norcalkurt, OHD and Ted all contributed shows and bloody good they were too.
Jam, Laxmi and I did a longish slot at about 3pm EDT and had a great time doing it. We played some stuff that wasn't on the Moon and judging by the response in the shoutbox you all seemed to like them which was great.
The whole thing lasted about 19 hours and we finally called in a night/morning/day?? at about 6:45am our time. Tired but elated.
A huge thank you to Jam who's technical nowse was AWESOME DUDE!!!! Thanks too to Laxmi for food and drink and generally being lovely.
Jim, VAXman, Dr Dot and all other Aural Moon management for keeping the place alive for 10 years.
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Massive thanks to the community for being such an amazing part of my life. I DO love you all and I thank the stars that I found you.
Let's do it again some time, eh????
