On the Freeway, Which is Already In Progress...

[kevin_standlee]

Not much new to report overnight, as so many of the people I know converge on Yokohama and Worldcon. toddashi is already in Japan, and thanks to him posting about it and e-mailing me, jarred me into remembering that I'm supposed to provide copies of my two amateur Doctor Who movies, which we never did get converted to DVD on account of our own computers being too underpowered to do the conversions. As these two films ("The Zombie Legions" and "Those Darn Daleks") do not have a web site of their own, I also cranked out short descriptions of them for his movie showing party.

I'd call Lisa and remind her that we'll need copies of those -- she might want to run off fresh copies, and that will take three hours -- but I'm under strict orders not to call her in the morning as she tries to shift forward at least some of the hours we need to shift. I can't do that myself, much as I'd like to do so, because I must hit the road. Speaking of which, it's time to check out of here, get some breakfast -- but allow some time to go for a walk afterwards -- and get moving.

I'm not sure when I'll be back at an internet connection. I might get a chance to night in Mehama, or tomorrow morning, but possibly not until we get to the hotel at Portland Airport on Sunday. It depends on events in Mehama and what Lisa needs me to do there.

I bet Merv and Judith would do it if we asked nicely. I'll be seeing them on the second...

No need for this trip. toddashi got a VCR. Lisa just needs to run off duplicates of the tape.

Amateur Who Films

I'd love to take a DVD to Israel, to show at Icon (if they can fit it in). Can you tell me if it would be possible to get a DVD, and to show it? If so, knowing the run-times & a plot teaser might be nice so that I can tell the Icon people. I won't be leaving until at least 2 weeks after Labor Day, so there ought to be plenty of time to mail a disk.

I'm sorry, but there's no way we can do it. We are going to be in Japan for three weeks (leaving tomorrow), and then it will take some time to get the tapes converted after that, so it would be early October, I expect, before we could have them even if we rushed. This has not been a high priority for us.

Way too late for this, but I do have farly simple unit that will take standard video input (composite or S-video) and burn it straight to DVD. No computer needed for straight conversion.

Maybe after we get back home. Thank you!
