An
interesting dynamic to the whole event for me was that every 10 minutes
or so I got another message sent to my beeper from the website. All over
my site , including the
page where I put the chat and updating cam image, you can use these
little windows to send messages directly to my beeper:
For example,
the last comment sent to my beeper was:
(From here ) peekaboo! givn' u luv from London.
Anyway,
on the chat page I asked people to let me know if the live audio or video
was crapping out since the gremlins were ravenous on the day of the event.
So here they are, a bunch of human error messages and comments from the
peanut gallery, for whatever they're worth:

Hey cousin wrybread, how about a different angle?

What in the heck is going on over there? Did he lose something?

Do you think Guano is going to throw up before the party because I have
to leave soon?

hey, looks cool. I am tempted to stay inside and watch it come together,
but it is so beautiful outside it would be inhuman to do so. I should
be back inside by sundown, if you need some feedback. gammer

I've been sitting here staring at that shopping cart in a kind of a contemplative
way and I got to thinking: poor Guano. Maybe he won't throw up after all.
Even though I assume those garbage cans with plastic bags in them will
probably have kegs or something. But what if Guano deosn't feel like throwing
up? What then?

I did not mispell 'doesn't.' It seems there are limits to cyberspace capabilities
if the beeper's going to be screwing around with my spelling.

Wow. Who's that guy?

Wrybread? Is that you? You look kind of tense. Loosen up. It's a party!

Watching this, I feel a little like an astronaut. Everything's moving
kind of slow just as if there were no gravity.

Dude, is that a decoration that guy's messing with?

Looks like a big onion or something from here. I'm also puzzled by the
green object on the far left of the screen. Somebody's pack back? That
most definitely was a dog though. Can you believe I'm writing this and
working on my manuscript at the same time? I can't.
