The next year, "Season 2" had (it should be evident) had some more preparation behind it. I'd spent the entire year having little snippets just kind of occur to me, most of which persisted long enough for me to get out of the shower and to my PDA. ;-> With Eeyore visiting that year (from Pittsburgh, this time) we had some nicer production values, in the form of better-looking Applause/Laughter signs, and "dust jackets" for the book that we used for people who were on book tours. As an accomplished videographer, Eeyore also brought a masterful hand to his mostly-unsung role as Steve the Cameraman; maybe you'll agree that he did an impressive job using the mirrored elevator walls, a very challenging element to work with, to best advantage. We spent a longer time shooting (both semi-prepared material and some fully spontaneous "found art" sequences - including one extended piece that ranks very high among my favorite moments of the show to date), and by the time we were done, we'd filled up an entire Mini-DV tape with footage.
I hope (at the time of this writing, prior to BayCon 2003) that by the time you've read this, we've managed to arrange things with the Powers that Be to be able to have put "Season 3" onto tape, but that footage would not be ready to be shared yet. If you liked what you've seen here tonight, maybe a mention or two at the Hiss and Purr panel would help us to have a screening of Season 3 as part of the BayCon program, next year. ;->
I am also very interested in getting in touch with someone who can help me do a better edit of this and future tapes! I know it could use a lot of polishing, especially WRT the audio - please let me know if you or someone you know can help.
Thank you for watching the show! (If you've been a guest on the show, I hope you'll share your contact information with me. I'd like to be able to flesh out the credits somewhat...)
