Re: AMV Salad 5: Happy Meal (OTAKON, here we come!)

Guys, I have an urgent request. I NEED access to a laptop for a little while if at all possible. You can benefit too actually.

Since I'm going to attempt to write a fanparody this next year (or at least get started), Scott offered to let me have copies of every fanparody he has, which is quite a hefty collection from oldschool to new school. Even stuff that's only shown once, and others that have never been shown. A treasure trove of fandom basically. The problem is both he and I only have hard drives, and we don't know anyone trustworthy with a laptop whom we can contact.

I would sincerely appreciate it if any of you who may be bringing a laptop, or your friends perhaps, if you'd let me and him hook up our drives to it and let it be a transfer hub for us for a little while. I can even come to your hotel room and we can leave them there so it's safe and not in any strange place. I just really want to have this collection so I can study it, and plus, because it's pretty awesome stuff generally :D If you want it too, you're welcome to take it as long as you don't spread it across the internet of course. He's totally willing to give other creators the stuff so they have material. It's something over 200 gigs of fan parodies that he's acquired over time.

Please help me, I really would like to have this collection to help me make a good parody. I need all the ideas I can get. I'll buy you dinner in exchange if it comes down to it :)

Okay...my secondary cell number is being shut down before Otakon so this is the one you should use to contact me.

Will none of you or your friends have a laptop at all? Please I really need some help. I don't have another opportunity to get these from Scott until next year. It's too much to transfer online, and I really need the help. Seriously, it's not much, we basically just need to plug the drives in, and drag one folder over, and let it sit for a few hours while we're at the con or something. That's all I'm asking, so please help me out. I don't know how else I can do this.

I have a laptop which sucks so badly it is practically unusable. I'm staying with a friend in another part of the city, so I guess I'd have to drag it to the con... I dunno how safe it would be unattended in a staff area, though i have to say a thief would be very disappointed by it. I guess I can pack it so that you at least have a last resort option... but it REALLY sucks, so I'd keep looking.

If you're not in the area, if you're willing to let me take it to my hotel room (or yours if you're nearby) and just let everything transfer for a while, that's all I need. As long as it has two USB ports, that's all I need. Preferably if it's still USB 2 of course.

Scott let me know he has a potential alternative, but I appreciate the thought of bringing it. Having it as a backup plan will put my mind at ease. Thanks a lot for considering it. Drop me your number in a PM if you have the chance so I can get ahold of you. What time will you be arriving, later Friday? Will it be the 2 PM meeting at that little deli?

Whoops, I missed the boat on getting that badge. :/

Is the place we're talking about Edie's? I MIGHT be able to swing 2:00 but I probably won't want to stay for TOO long - if anyone can go earlier it'd be great. I'm one of those jerks that lines up for autographs way before they technically allow it (I just lurk like hell), and I promised a friend who can't make it to the con that I'd try and get something signed by Uematsu for him. I know it's not until 3:30, but it's only an hour, and it looks like he's only there for one day. I guess ideally I just want to have enough time to chill instead of wolfing down a sandwich, because I know I'd have time for that, but yeah. Crowds. Will screw you over. And I'm paranoid. XD

As of 8:30 Scott said it wasn't too late if we knew someone else who wanted a badge made up, he also said he'd have some extra blank ones.

What two names would you want on it?

For those who couldn't come, Salad went well, but didn't have the same impact as 4. I still think people really enjoyed it though. It was great meeting those of you who were there. |:>
