JerryKindall.com: Jerry’s gathered up some 9-11 links to peruse in thought and sadness tomorrow (I’ve pestered him for a permalink). Naturally, I can’t say I share the political perspectives prominently reflected in his selections, but that’s all right.
Note the neat image.
See you on September 12. Hope your day is meaningful and productive. I’m certainly feeling more chipper this year. I suppose the respite from war talk has something to do with it.
Sorry for the dearth of postings – the trip, combined with some media projects here at home, are soaking up my brain and free time.
The media projects are associated with creating a DVD from an old VHS tape of a reunion perfomance by the Gizmos shot the last day of July in 1988 – the tape was edited and directed by Eric White at the cable-access staion in Bloomington, BCAT 3, which unfortunately at the time only made VHS cameras available to program producers except for in-studio work.
The tape is pretty good in every way except video quality – I’m actually quite impressed with Eric’s editing.
It being September again, I should note that Eric was working on the editing throughout the saga of my sister’s death – and she is quite visible on the tape, as am I, dancing and dancing. The concert stands at the gates of adulthood; the cost of entry too high to predict.
Happily, watching the video (over and over and over as I work the kinks out of the workflow here) is not saddening in the least – it’s almost like a video yearbook, and I find myself pointing at the fifteen-year-old video ghosts of my friends and calling their names:
“There’s Ransom!”
“It’s Katherine!”
“That’s Terri!”
