Tree Huggin’ Hippie Crap

I can’t go into the details, but I have a HUGE opportunity sitting in front of me, and tomorrow is do-or-die time…if this thing happens, I am back baby! We’re talking carreer re-birth, a new computer, and nice things for Mrs. Wheaton.
So here’s the deal: if you don’t mind, would you take 60 seconds or so, and send some good thoughts my way? I would be especially grateful if you were doing this between 2 and 3 PM Pacific Time tomorrow (Thursday).
If this works, I will have the coolest story, EVER, to post.

Radio Free Burrito 2: Electric Boogaloo

Radio Free Burrito 2: Electric Boogaloo

I got lots of good feedback from people about the radio station, and I think it will become a semi-regular feature around here.
With the help of the lovely and talented (well, talented, anyway) Ben, from The pAved Earth, the greatest internet radio station of all time, I have figured out how to do a live broadcast, right out of my crappy little computer. So I have this idea. How about if I do a radio show sometime this week? I can play music, read some of my weblog entries, make some jokes, take IM requests, etc. I can even make multiple streams, so people on slower connections can enjoy the fun, too. It’s been a silly dream of mine since I was a kid to be on the radio, so I think I’m gonna do it, no matter what…it’d just be cooler if there were people actually listening.

TNG on TNN

TNG on TNN

I bet this sounds totally lame, but I’ve been watching (and taping) TNG on TNN tonight. Of course, since I am on the Left Coast, I missed the first broadcast, so I missed all the promos I did, so I don’t know if I sucked or not. Dammit.
But here’s the thing: I forgot just how much I LOVE Star Trek. I’ve watched “Farpoint”, The first one with The Traveller, Datalore and Conspiracy…I have remembered so many stories…I’m excited. I have some cool ones to tell, in the coming weeks.
If anyone has it, would someone please email me avis or mpegs or something, of the promos?
Vega$ ruled. I took lots of pictures, and I will put them all up tomorrow.
I’ve read all the Emails I got while I was gone. I’ll send out replies tomorrow.

Vega$ Baby!

Vega$ Baby!

Today I went to the race track with my friend Mykal Burns for a super fun microbrew festival, and some horse racing. Based on my experience last time I went to the track, I chose to stay out of the betting…so the goddamn racetrack couldn’t take any of my money, dammit. The way I see it, they have enough already.
Some cool stuff happened while we were there: we got free, uber-cheesy steins, complete with a lame logo, and everything…they are almost as nice as the high quality steins I am offering. /lame ad
Just kidding.
We also heard this great 80s cover band while we were there, called The Spazmatics. They were really cool, and I told them I’d link them, so that’s what I am doing, because Uncle Willie keeps his promises. So there.
The feedback on the radio station has been mostly positive, so I think I’ll keep it up, at least until the end of Monday, because I have to go back to Vega$ Sunday. The Star Trek Experience wants to talk to me about booking my sketch comedy show in for a run!! How cool is that?!
I’ll update again when I get back from Vega$. I’ll have pictures.
Be nice to someone today.
