What is your secret guaranteed weeping movie? Whale Music.
If you could have plastic surgery, what would you have done? Fine-tuning liposuction (and I will have it done).

Do you consider yourself to be a nice person? Yes.
Do you spend more time with your girlfriend, boyfriend, or your friends? Girlfriend, by far.

BBQ

First of all, my neck is killing me. I was barely able to sleep it hurt so much. I haven't talked to Delaney and Marty yet to find out if they feel quite as miserable as I do, but if you ever get the bright idea to do a throat pull, please reconsider the idea! The pull was a lot of fun, but I sure am not liking the after effects.

Anyway, below are some pictures I took yesterday — I have another similar sized stack as well, plus we shot lots of video which I'll edit and post ASAP. Sorry the webcam was down, our net connection was all messed up yesterday…

Well, time to see how much cleaning I have to do in the back yard.

BBQ stuff

Sorry it took so long to get these shirt pictures added — just had a nice surprise visit from Marty, Marc, Jill, and Jay — and, miraculously, I managed to stick to the no drunking rule. 24 hours so far, I'm doing OK. The big question is can I make it through the BBQ without drinking too much (I will drink, I just don't want to get all sloppy)?

I have one more piece of bad news regarding the shirts — I think that there were ten medium hoodies ordered, but only five were shipped. The company was out of stock, and shipped larges instead… So the first five mediums will be first-come-first-served from the people who reserved them, the rest will have to decide if the large is OK. I'm really sorry about the sizing problems…

Fun stuff

I picked up the stickers a little while ago… The one has a CMYK error (the background isn't a true black in one area), but other than that they look great. There's only 500 of each design, so if 150 people are at the BBQ and take about three of each, that's all of them gone! (There are three stickers in the picture below — just the BME classic logo and the Ear Piercing 101 are here).

I also spent about an hour at the screen printing place making sure the t-shirts were correctly screened — the design looks great (I'll post photos tonight), but I do have one piece of crappy news: they messed up and forgot to order the jackets… So… Those aren't done, and won't be done for Monday. The people who put in requests for them can decide whether they'd like them sent to them or not I guess…

Finally!

While I get a lot done in my life, most of it happens more slowly than I'd like. Uploading now is the video of the last (Toronto/May21) BBQ's suspension show — three “suicide” (back) suspensions, along with five “Faulkner” (knee) suspensions. Thanks to iWasCured, iHung, and Rites of Passage, along with all the helpers (and audience) for putting on a great show for everyone.

It will be available for download off the main page of BME as soon as it's done uploading in about half an hour I'm guessing. You will need a membership to download the hi-res version, but it certainly doesn't bother me if people want to download it and post it for download themselves and/or encode it in a more modern format (it's in VCD/MPG format right now). (The low res version really blows in comparison.)
