Freakin Politics.

I hate freakin politics!
Here’s what happened. Believe it or not, as with several government funded entities, there is always some weird form of red tape. In this case there is a producer of record that must be present to sign for the show to go live. I know the “producer” for this show and he is the producer strictly on paper. Other than that he is a camera man and a cool person. Anyway, he couldn’t show up. I understand the first 10 seconds of the show went live then master control at access Tucson pulled the plug and aired a tape. I also found out about the 10 person limit for web viewers tonight. I learned all this right after the "taping". I played the whole show thinking it was going out live. When I found out it didn’t air I was so mad I just spit. The guy who really runs the show told me he would get it aired and let me know when it was.

If I had known that was going to happen I would have produced the show. I’m a member and I can do that. I just didn’t know. Yes Virginia, it sucks.

I mixed audio for this show for 4 years. All the people who work on the shows there are volunteers. Camera, Audio, director, CG effects, gear schlepers and gophers. 9 people besides me busted hump to get this show on the air. They did a great job for free.
Also, it was just another 113 degree day here in Tucson and I borrowed a van with no air conditioning to get all my gear there and back.

It really wasn't my fault but I apologize any way.

After reading NorM's post and knowing I would have been mad as hell as well, I will now remove the bullet from the gun......;)

NorM....we were sooooo waiting and having to endure that other stuff was painful, but worth it to us...heheheheehhee......

NorM,

"Forget about your silly whim... it doesn't fit the plan!"



On a serious note, that must have been frustrating as heck. I hope you can get that show replayed.. maybe after they fix that 10-user limit. I'd love to watch it.

Did it happen?

I got up to watch and of course didn't read the "fine print" in NorMs initial e mail.
- I needed Real Player!!

So after I download and install (yeah it crashed during the installation!) I finally get it up and running - it was 8:05 gmt (12:05 am West Coast time) so it looks like I just missed it? :eek:
