I think this whole video collab project is special anyway, because a lot of GDCers took the time to make these videos. That clearly shows the music and this community means something to them/us, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten so many videos in the first place!

God I hate it when people use the word "gay" like it's a bad thing.

naah, it's never too tiring doing things you love don't expect anything very special so you won't be disappointed

yes and mmmh, i still have to work on 2 mins of the WWHC part, but if I can finish editing it tomorrow, the entire video will be ready before I come back school

^ Yessss!!!!!!!!!!!! :woot: aw

Can't wait to see the finished video, Mary!!

Only on GDC can we have an in-depth discussion about Billie having the flu.

He's a bloke. Probably just had man flu.

Yeah, it pisses me off too. What's that guitar he has in the series of pictures above? EDIT : I think it's the Black beauty...anyways

And the (final) countdown goes on.. 9 DAYS, guys!

It's the final countdown..da da daa da, da da da da da da daaa....oooops wrong band, sorry

new blog from Nicci Don't Wanna Be A Canadian Idiot It's nights like these, when I can't get to sleep and there's no boyfriend to talk to, that I should be blogging or reading the next book in The Hunger Games series. After a day like today, I think the former is the way to go, hopefully I'll get a little of the latter in too... As scheduled, Gabe was to go on for the role of Johnny tonight so we had a put-in rehearsal in the afternoon to make sure all would go smoothly during the show. We had a couple boys out because of relatively minor-ish injuries, so both of our boy swings were put into the show. It was a bit of a whirlwind because one of the boys disappeared with his injury just as we were finishing notes, so we did the run through while spacing a fixing and figuring out tracks at the same time. Then... just before the show started, before I was hooked into the chains that take me up for upside down girl, we get word that the rig isn't doing what we'd like it to do. Something about the power source in Toronto is different than how we had teched it in Utica, so we said 'better safe than sorry' and cut it. The great part about that is that I got to do the first number without a harness on! It felt glorious. A little weird to run on stage with the rest of the girls, but I had no idea what fun I was missing backstage while I was hanging out (literally) waiting for them. We had an ever so quick discussion right before the curtain came up about the possibility of the fly rig not being ready. We were told that they were confident that the issue would be sorted out within the next 35 minutes, but in the off chance that it wasn't we were to basically walk the number. At some point one of the stage managers found some old non-fly contingency plan for bway (that was never put into use because FOY always works) so I got a chance to glance at it for a few seconds here and there during my numerous quick changes. Luckily, our team is so amazing that the rig was unquestionably fixed and we could fly Extraordinary Girl like nothing ever happened. If I had ever doubted it (and I haven't), I know by what happened today that I am a part of something incredible. So much credit goes to the entire cast who tweaked things here and there to fill in spacing, vocals, and movement, but mostly to Vince and Tommy who combined did the work of three men tonight with only a scant rehearsal this afternoon. Gabe was an incredible Johnny, and we were all so excited to be doing Canadian Idiot for the first time! What a day. With today's put-in rehearsal, I'd call this a nine and a half show week. I'm not sure that I've ever done more than five shows in one week before this, so it will be quite the personal accomplishment when we get to Sunday night! And then it all starts again on Tuesday...

Wow guys guess what the day of the London party is my birthday! Awesome present, being in the video

Speaking as someone who has seen the play numerous times, I actually agree that it is a bit absurd. If you take yourself out of "Green Day Super Fan" World, it is STRANGE to the average person. It just is. Not one person in my life (besides a handful of Green Day fans, of course) thought it was normal to see the play more than one time and it was a bit embarrassing to admit how many times I've seen it. Many people have their reasons, as you said, but for a lot of people it seemed like it was mostly for attention and to be noticed by the cast members or even some sort of competition. But who knows? Maybe people just simply like seeing the same thing over and over and over... The reasoning really is not important anyway. Green Day as a band performing different sets every week can't even be compared to seeing a bunch of mainly unknown theater people perform Green Day songs on Broadway. And the Broadway show was the same every night; Same script, same songs, same order, pretty much same everything. Let's be honest, nothing really changes if there's a swing that you've barely even heard of filling in for one of the characters one night. But with that said, even for concerts, the average person will see one date per tour for a band. Anyway, of course there's nothing wrong with seeing a play, concert or what have you more than once if you have the money and time and it makes you happy, but Superfans have to see where the average person (or even just a general Green Day fan) is coming from.

i've just downloaded it finally got all the videos

The thing about Billie liking to put together home movies comes from an interview in 2004/5 where he said he'd only just got his first computer and was just starting to use it, and was trying out putting together home movies on it. So it's not really much of a fact that he "likes to put together home movies". He didn't say it was a hobby or anything, he just said he'd tried doing it when he first got a computer.

Haha come on give him some credit. He's had a computer for a few years. I bet Adrienne does all the work.

I'm goin' too!

I will be there

I'm going!

Just wondering if anyone is going to the show on Friday January 20th in Detroit? I mean, i wouldnt be able to meet up with anyone, but I think it would be cool to know who else from GDC is going to that show

i'm so excited! for christmas i got tickets to see it in Detroit. best present ever i cant wait

Heh, they're not hers - the first one's from an art exhibition inspired by 21CB here's my work in very slow progress.

Even more luck,so at least something can stop me sometimes
