So, most of you might have noticed something a little different on the live stream tonight.  Like the fact that it wasn’t there maybe?  And on the night that To Be Announced is playing too?  Can you believe it?!?  I know.  Complete let down of sorts, but allow me to explain.

We have this orange cord, that runs out of the video rack and directly into a computer.  This orange cord is a firewire cable that up to this point has worked perfectly.  And to my knowledge is still working flawlessly.  The problem is where that orange cord plugs into the computer.  It seems that the physical plug part on the computer has decided to break rendering the entire video process useless.  That’s right.  All video broadcasting is contingent on that cable connecting to that computer.  Tonight that did not happen.  Despite scrambling for over an hour to find replacement computers and different options, we were still unsuccessful.

Now here’s the amazing thing.  There were still nearly 100 people that showed up on the chat to hang out and talk about various things.  See, now this is the community that this whole thing is about.  This is the idea behind bringing people together for something more than a concert, and more than a live broadcast.  You people impress me.

So now we have a few days off, and the old computer will be sent in to the shop and we should be fully functional on Thursday to broadcast from Columbus, OH.  Thanks for sticking around tonight, and don’t worry, we’ve got some amazing footage of To Be Announced to post later right here on this blog.
