That gives me an idea! A really killer idea for XDay!

Let's all bring cameras, and film everything Stang does. Follow him around,
filming him as he eats, sleeps, shits, and tries to find some quiet time
alone with friends. Be as intrusive as possible. When he gets really mad
and starts yelling, you'll probably get some really hilarious video! Since
Stang will be profiting from our attendance, it's only right that we get
every bit of entertainment out of him as possible. And you know what that
mean? Bring lighter fluid and hoops!

On the last day, we all give our videos to Lupus Yonderboy for his TV
show! It'll be so cool, like a cross between "The Real world" and
"Crocodile Hunter"!

Wow! that sounds great Doc! But, why not make it EVEN more fun and mix
in some elements of conceptual art as well? The way it works is like
this; everyone who doesn't want to be taped for some crappy
reality/sitcom jerk-off, bring a can or two of black spray paint.
Krylon ultra flat black is nice. When some yahoo starts to cram a DV
cam in your face, spray the paint directly on the lens! For good
measure, spray their face as well! Imagine the fun and merriment as
you watch them hopping around cursing, trying to get the paint off
their precious toy! We could make it like a contest to see who could
spray the most cameras. This would be almost as much fun as the
saucers not coming again.

I changed my mind... the only thing I need footage of is Legume. Follow
him around wherever he goes and film that. Then transfer the images to
Governor Rocknar's brain -- I can do an "export" from there into my
Mac.

From: lyonderboy@hotmail.com (Lupus Yonderboy)

I have a better idea. How about I avoid Legume as best I can with the
possible exception of meekly requesting an interview when he's drunk
and in better sorts.

Or perhaps we can tape him kicking my ass. I've learned in the media
that nothing is funnier than someone in immense pain. Especially if
they're kicked in the balls a lot, hint hint.

Those guys got some GREAT interview footage. They just didn't use it.
They also tried and tried and tried to make us "get real."

They were REEEAAAL slow on the uptake. It blew me away what they
MISSED, from being slow. Their end product was terribly amateurish,
considering that they had state of the art gear. I suspect that their
video was edited in about a day and a half.

They also promised me copies of their footage, repeatedly, ESPECIALLY
the Battle of Armageddon... that if nothing else. The minute they left
Brushwood, however, they treated us like strangers.

They kind of wrecked it for all future documentrians who aren't old
personal friends of mine. Which is itself perhaps a GOOD thing.

Their film was accepted at one film festival, in Knoxville. They
submitted it to the Dallas Video Festival, but the guy who runs it
called me up, asked if I had shot X-Day, and showed our documentary on
it instead.

But the video projector at the showing was completely fucked.

That was just about my worst night in Dallas, for a number of reasons.

Nah, they just know about my great idea to get a bunch of secret service
guys really drunk and then interview them for this great book I blew off
writing. It was going to be called "Inside the Men in Black" and it would
answer all these questions like, do they get any pussy, what do they do when
they have to pee, do they get to take vacations, and any juicy gossip they
might have about really old presidents that nobody cares about anymore, like
if any of them wore ladies underwear or picked their noses or whatever.

Well there's always two or three guys that go to EVERY event and are NEVER
drunk or hung over and I always just assumed they were cops, but all they
ever do is sit there and smile at all the titties, so I'm all like,
whatever!

Might be nice to get the inside scoop on the Steve Jackson raid. Did
they really think GURPS Cyberpunk was a haX0r tract?

YES.

I worked with Steve Jackson a few years ago and the actual story is a
hundred times worse than the stupidest comedy about stupid cops.

Basically some Feds saw the word "hacker" in a game, and broke into the
Steve Jackson Games business and stole everything. Years later, Jackson
got some of his stuff back after winning a lawsuit.

The funny thing about this is that Steve Jackson himself can -- or
could, at the time -- BARELY operate the simplest Macintosh computer.

But apparently he knew a hell of a lot more than the computer security
experts of the government of the United States. His Shinola
Differentiator worked fine, but the Feds didn't even know there WAS
such a thing.
