Mixed Cool and Weird Plus Music

Cool from the top as Lotho said he would underwrite the green screen and he doesn't like a lot of attention for that but it's a highly cool thing he does.  I might have snoozed and loozed on the one I had spotted since I looked yesterday, even before I heard from Lotho, and the one I had been watching has poofed.

That's not a disaster because it only means waiting until another turns up on eBay.  Even if you learn nothing else from being broke, you will learn patience (larfs).

In some of the Elves of Cthulhu videos, you can see the back wall of the Rockhouse and that's where the green screen goes.  At 10'x13', it should cover the wall and that means I can make the entire wall disappear.  The green screen goes between the PA monitors and the wall so the monitors will still be visible but the wall will disappear behind them, replaced by whatever demented images I think may be suitable.


Most surprising has been a remarkable and unexpected ray of light from far in the East.  There hasn't been much light from anywhere of late so that's a big boost.  Light plus boost turns into music and that went surprisingly well.  This wasn't something to record as it was all for experimenting except for the first part which was "Rockin' in the Free World" which I love to play because it hits hard and has zero introspection.

(Ed:  you rip people for playing Neil Young!)

More specifically, they're ripped for banging chords to cover him and those acts hit the ground when they do "Old Man" as the song is ridiculous when an old man sings it.


Doing the force therapy with this numbness in my arm is mixed because it affects most the small fingers on my right hand and they aren't primary but they're used for subtle things in play.  They're present but they're like ghosts.  It's never been persistent like this so it's highly disturbing.  It's not stopping play but it does make some stuff less 'precise' with less feeling in those fingers.


There was one exceptional move with one of the stompboxes for sound because a relatively simple move made the Rockhouse a whole lot less dangerous.  It's not hype about the danger because anyone who sees it is afraid to walk in here.  For me, moving that one gadget had a huge effect even though it didn't go that far plus there was also stowing a tripod because getting around that in the dark with that ready to shoot was mostly doomed.
