(Intermission 017) The fake midwestern DIF summit. (Page 1 of 3)

If only my movie room was that cool,... *jealous*

"Life is about movies; anything else is a bonus!"- Me   

I always imagined Zarban as a sickly, precocious youth (possibly with a ventilator) who, when not watching film, spent his time fapping to Proust.

He looks oddly normal. I am disappoint.

Cookies with my picture on them.  I... uhh... wait, what?

And Zarban, can I live in your basement for the rest of my life?  It won't be for very long, I'm quite old.

I already have a senior citizen living with me that I thought the same thing about.

But that doesn't mean the answer is no....

We were just talking about you too.  Behind your back.  It was mostly negative.

But seriously, Zarban and I were like, "who else is around here?"  And it was, "shit, Drew.  Shit.  We should have asked this question sooner."

Dammit! I KNEW there was somebody else in the area we should have been contacting!

Oh man, totally forgot to use this....!

Apology accepted! I like that you've raised awareness of the popularity of summit-y activity.

I don't usually like to announce my own travel plans for security purposes, but in a somewhat limited circle like this one I'll say that I'm heading for the Pacific Northwest next June to better view the Transit of Venus.  We'll be staying with distant family who own a cozy B&B on the beach-- seriously in the surf-- about 100 miles south of Vancouver.  I call Sunset bonfire party on the strand on the 5th, telescopic and photographic equipment recommended, clouds permitting.  There's also an eclipse that week.

Hell yeah, DIF, TFN, we've e-known each other for years, it'd be excellent to actually meet you.  Señor Vayda can vouch for me being the non-threatening type of crazed wacko, we snuck him into the front row at the Shuttle Endeavour launch.  Hopefully I can keep my phone out of the ocean on the western shore.

We'll be flying into Seattle and staying just outside of Pacific Beach State Park.
Lots of other B&Bs in town there, always a better deal than hotels.

By the way, we did an Intermission during this, and it's up now.

I really enjoyed this episode of the Intermission, and I'm hoping you do more episodes when you chat about DiF and general stuff (the anniversary episodes only come along once a year after all!).

Damn you Teague for messing with the naming conventions!

I rather enjoyed this episode, it was cool hearing about how people found DIF. How did everybody else here find it? I first came about it when somebody (I'm assuming it was Teague) posted a link to the Episode I commentary on TFN, but I didn't become a regular listener until the first anniversary show. I'd actually forgotten all about it! Prior to DIF, I did listen to Geekza now and then and way before that I was a big fan of Digital Llama Radio.
