JC kept me good company on the road, but then, he's been keeping me good company all week. I fear the clips will be all I'll listen to for the next, oh, forever.

Moderation can bite me.

Anyway, said a sad goodbye to Schiz but not before we hatched nefarious plots to meet again in, oh, a week to, what else, see JC in Boston and New York. We've got the first covered, looking for tickets for the second. Had a most excellent flight, Pirates as the movie and the best plane food ever, a bit of a nap and a lovely chat with Mason.

In my abscence, it seems that La Timberlake scored five Grammy nods, Chris is a politically-active Democrat who wears black leather to the conventions, JC's changed up his costuming (for Denver at least, and can I just take a moment to swoon over those pics? The burberry, too, while we're at it), Joey is wearing Lance's trinkets (adore the boyfriend, but I'm OTP to the core, yo) and the fandom's had no fewer than three major kerfuffles. Seems everyone's had an exciting week. *g*

Now I have a really stupid (or is that stupefying) amount of work to do before tomorrow is over - two finals, two papers, two articles. And now I sound like a Denny's breakfast special. ;)

Glad to see everyone's enjoying the clips, which I myself about cried with excitement over when listening to them for the first time. I'm so happy they came out as amazing as they did, all things considered, and those who won't get a chance to see him live will get to at least experience the madness in some way. To all the new people, hello. *waves* I never friendslock anything, but it wasn't my server and we had bandwidth concerns. However, if you'd like the clips and haven't been able to download them, let me know and we'll make it happen.

I've seen your name throught my friends list as the person to credit for the lovely mp3's. Thank you for them. They were amazing. I added you, i hope that's ok.

I would indeed be to blame, yes. ;) I'm even surprised how well they came out - seriously, the sound quality of the clips is better than what we heard at the show. It was my pleasure to share them and you're entirely welcome.

Sure, add away! *g* My life isn't generally as glamorous as the past week would make it seem, but I hope you'll enjoy reading nonetheless.

Thank you. [livejournal.com profile] sdb_worldwide got them from you and made them available just this morning so I'm sorted.

I really don't know how to thank you, and all the other excellent file-sharers, enough.

As I'm on the other side of the world I expect I'll never see any of the guys in concert and it's so wonderful to be given the chance to share the experience.

I saw at the appearance list and thought eep! I need another hard drive!

Excellent to hear. It's great that there's a community like that for foreigners. I'm especially glad cats like you are getting to hear this stuff. :) Just enjoy them in good health. JC! Solo! Boy has 80s rock in his soul, and it's a beautiful thing.

*cheers* Yay! Glad they've been making the rounds and I've loved reading people's reactions, because the man really is that incredible. I'm glad the audio does him justice. And you liked my rambly, fangirly, gushy reviews! And you bring gingerbread! Dude, you can totally stay. ;)

Thanks, though it really was the most pleasant long-distance trip I've ever taken. As for rest, heh, I'll sleep when I don't have to chase after JC or write articles or take final exams.

Look at your icon! He sang to you! *squee!*

I just wanted to thank you for making those clips-- I'll get to see JC in Boston, but until then, I'm going to be listening to these nonstop! Out of curiosity, what did you use to record the show?

And I also added you to my friends list :)

Date: December 9th, 2003 02:35 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com
I used a Sony MiniDisc player and a no-name $30 lavalier microphone from Best Buy. SyncRec mode, though I could've stood to turn the sound up more. And that's all, just clipped it onto my bag strap and maybe turned a bit away from the amplifiers to minimize the bass.

You're entirely welcome, and maybe we'll get to run into each other in Boston, seeing as how I've bought into the Cult of Chasez wholeheartedly here.

Well, thank you again for recording the show-- you've provided this girl with endless entertainment. I've been listening to it, trying to figure out the lyrics.

JC'll be shocked at his next few shows, when everybody in the audience has most of the songs memorized!

Heh, indeed. Lonnie was standing by the stage for the Sunset Show and gave us several looks when we were mouthing the lyrics along with him. If there'd been room, I would've done the choreography. *g*

Lonnie! I adore Lonnie, for some reason. I'll be uber-excited if I have a Lonnie sighting in Boston.

Thanks for dropping by to say so! Though I had every chance to take it to someone's car or something else, I hung onto it because I knew I would agonize for the next two months if I couldn't hear those songs. And you know, Let's Go Crazy. Fucking my good god, he rocked that.

Do I REALLY have to wait until the 19th to hear it live??? *sigh* I totally wish I could have made it out to the CA shows, but no vacation time left kind of made that an issue

Only nine more days! Nothin' doin. You've got the clips till then, but do take care to brace yourself for the full-on Chasez experience.

I would just like to take this oportunity to declare my undying love to you, because I am currently listening to you clips and... *swoons* You have no idea how much I appreciate this, especially since there's this time a reallt good chance that I'll never see JC on stage, as even if he ever made it to Paris, I would be financially unable to go see him the way I went to see Justin. Plus I doubt JC is ever going to make it as big as Justin did in France, for many reasons not pertaining to any of these two boys' talents but rather to fame and music tastes.

So yeah, thank you so much for making these clips available. *hearts*

It's with people like you, who won't have a chance to see the show for whatever reason (financial, geographic, work, other) that I wanted so badly to get it to. And, well, I couldn't have gone two months without hearing them over and over and over again, but yes, I'm so glad you got them and are enjoying them.

Thanks, sweets. It's nice to get to relax for a few days (after I'm done playing catch up for school, eek!) and just decompress from the stress and no sleep and insanity of the past week.

Say, [livejournal.com profile] lincolnkw is going to be at the Boston show, is he not?

I'm so envious. I wish I could go see JC's tour, and possibly squee so loud I would be rendered mute if I were able to trek around the US to see multiple shows. You lucky duckling.

I have no idea who all else is going, but apparently there'll be a crew just like SoCal. Whee!

I'm so far beyond an insanely lucky duckling, in friends and luck and parents and every which way, and I've been thankful for that every step of the way this past week.

Yeah, no kidding! You're the luckiest duckling that ever swam the seven seas! And I found out you were, at one point, in the city I live in. I can't tell you which one, cuz you know, security reasons, but you at least made a pass through here ^_^.

Yay! Thanks for dropping by to say so. The quality was just me being very lucky in my troubleshooting and equipment, but they did come out fantastic, better than it sounded live on Friday night, wouldn't you say?

From: [identity profile] angel-q.livejournal.com
Yes! They do sound so much better than it did live. I'm sitting here going, "oh my gosh, he said that?

Oh, and these MP3's are really not helping me decide that I do not need to fly to Boston. Because I may just be another crazy person that has decided that the California shows simply were not enough.

Where are you based? I'm in Florida here, and ain't nothin's gonna stop me. Seriously, this is such a one-time go-around - when will we ever get to be that close again?

I'm in San Francisco, and right now all the flights out of SFO are so much $$$. I really really want to go though, for the exact reason you said, "when will we ever get to be that close again?" I'm going to check out the airfare again tonight; supposedly the rates are the cheapest just after midnight Tuesday/Wednesday.

I met you down in SoCal, by the way. Not that you'd remember me, but I was introducing myself as "only having LJ for a month, so nobody knows me!"

JC's clips

From: (Anonymous)
Hi there!

I'm one of these people who probably won't get to see JC -- although you never know what might happen in a crazy mood -- since I'm in the Netherlands, and I don't see JC crossing the ocean just yet ;) So thank you, thank you for making those clips and making them available! I've been listening to them for the last hours, and I might just decide to do that crazy thing -- meaning hop on a plane and fly to the States just to see JC -- if he does do more club dates in the new year. I have a small 15-month old son to think about, so I can't just up and leave, but I *feel* like doing that right now :) I love ONS, I adore BMW, I can't believe Shake It, my feet dance whether I want them or not when I hear If You Were My Girl, and there are just so many more treats among those clips. So once again, thank you!

Aaw, you're such a sweetheart, thank you for dropping by and letting me know you liked them! I'm glad you got them downloaded through someone else, they've been making the rounds. I myself am throwing it all to the wind and going for broke (literally) by going to Boston and New York to see two more shows. He's beyond amazing and anything I ever would've imagined up there. These songs are his not just because he wrote them but they just play to him in every way. It'd be fair to call him a Pied Piper at this point. ;) Shake It and Build My World are the two switching off in my head right now, too, for obviously different reasons but they're both beyond amazing.

Unrelatedly, would you like an LJ code? I've got more of them than I can possibly ever need here if you'd like...

I think I need to add that Let's Go Crazy should go on Schizophrenic! What a powerful song in JC's hands! Let's hope it's among one of the bonus tracks we in Europe, and also Asia and Australia usually get! Wow, just wow!

Yeah, and I'm beyond jealous that you get to see him live so often! :)

About the LJ code -- yes, please. I received one from someone else over AIM, and closed the window before copying it down... What can I say... ;) I'm not sure if I'll ever get beyond one LJ entry, but we'll see. I know I can ramble on and on about my little son...

I just know he said he wasn't doing any covers on the album, but extra tracks we can always hope for. Whoot! Dude, I'm jealous of myself for getting to be there. Outrageous fortune that it all came together the way it did.
