Daisho Con

I don't think we'll be able to release an ep until after school, because I'll be too busy with projects to do much, but if we can at least get a start, we'll be good.

Unfortunately, Mondays are bad for me. I have class until 7:30 PM (and it's an Ellertson class, for those of you are WDMD Majors/Minors) and Government meetings at 9. Tuesday and Wednesday nights are bad for me past 8, but afternoons work well. Thursdays and Fridays work well, and weekends depend on the day.

My current thoughts are: We would have the hosts (who we'll decide at the meeting. Maybe it'll be BellyDandy and me, maybe not. We'll see what team set will work the best.) and the guests do our segments, and if timing will work better, we can pre-record a number of the segments, such as the Con Survival Guide, or Interviews. If the bumpers and Host commentaries are done live, we can set things up so that the pre-records are around it.

@BMK: This'll work for you too. If you want to submit a field report (on whatever you want), if Skype won't work for you you're always free to record something and it can be easily spliced into the recording.

@BellyDandy: I like your structure so far. Of course, this is a Daishocast, so leading with Daishocon information would be great, and we can also use it to develop the story of Stevie Musashi throughout the year. I can see the show stretching to about an hour long, maybe longer if the interviews are high-caliber and the segments get good.

Again, we'll talk more at the meeting. Currently, I'm thinking either sometime on Wednesday Afternoon (Before 8:30P), Thursday Evening(After 4), or anytime Friday. Anything work there for you guys?

Ok i am not sure where my last post went but oh well. I just got home from the Staff meeting this evening, and I am happy to say that we are almost ready to get things rolling. I got ahold of Couchmaster, who is one of the bigwigs of the con, and he gave some really good ideas for a first podcast. So all we really need it to get a group together and start rolling. If people will let me know when they are online i can make sure i am on. So far i have CapitoCapito, Thedeadsid, Alhon, Myself, BMK and another staff member(whom is getting skype) down for the cast. I missed someone pls make a post so i can add you to the list. BTW skype is free at www.skype.com.

Thanks for bringing it up at the meeting, BellyDandy.

And just for the record, anything I should say on the Debate format will not affect anyone who wants to work on the cast. I know I've dug myself in deep over there, but that's an entirely separate thing from the DaishoCast, so I won't address that and any hard feelings should be left as you leave that board.


So, when this week can we Skype meet? Looking forward to kicking this off.

No worries. The debate section is the debate section, that's all that can be said.

Anyone who writes in the debate section is sentencing themselves to dug-deep-edness.

Heh heh, learning that the hard way.

Yes, absolutely no worries there! The debate section is meant for just that: debate. We can't all expect to agree with each other, or there would be nothing to talk about...

(and you've been doing a great job in that thread if I do say so myself )

Since I'm helping Belldandy out with this, I'll volunteer to guest host a few of the casts with him.

I'm thinking one of the later casts down the line, we can discuss some of the various cosplayers we had show up last year.

Ooh, we can discuss the "7 levels of Cosplay Hell" that went around the net about a month back. That'd be fun.

7 levels of cosplay hell? You have my attention, sir. Please forward a link.

Anyway, I haven't turned on Skype in a while, but I think I'm on as arpulver. Let me know if you need me to contribute anything.

I'm around levels 4 and 5....

Lets see... If those are the catagories of Cosplay Hell, then I'm going to Heaven... Although I would closest fit to circle 3, as I do have a little bit of a gut, but it's not nearly as bad or noticable as some people out there.

Fortunately, I'm losing weight and my physical build is close enough to my character that a small amount of flab in the front is nothing serious.

I am hereby setting the online meeting for the cast on Thursday April 16, at 8:40 pm. I get off of work at 8:30 so i can hightail it to batou's house by 8:40. I have sent invites to everyone that has posted their skype names on the thread. Just to be clear, my skype name is Belldandy4087. If you want in either send me a friend invite or post your name on the thread. I would like to bust out the first podcast on thursday but that depends on weather or not couchmaster can make it. I have an agenda all worked out, i will be sending it via email later today.

I found a program online that let me record skype conversations. It is a beautiful program, best one i have used since i started looking since it records the mp3 to my desktop and doesnt upload it to some random internet site like other programs. Only problem is that i costs 20 bucks. but i am thinking it is worth it.

If you're looking at TotalRecorder, it's pretty good, but I live and die with Pamela. Just so... useful.

I should be available for the Thursday meeting. Thanks for taking the initiative on that, BellyDandy. Do you mind sending me the Agenda so that I can take a look at it? Just want to make sure that we cover all the bases.

I've been nailed with homework, Documentation and Research this week, but I should have it taken care of by tomorrow night.

You should be able to find a program that doesn't cost anything. I'm using Linux, and I found a recorder fairly easily.

Also, I won't be there for this episode, with trivia and all.
